Larval rearing of mud crab (Scylla): What lies ahead
(Elsevier, 2018)
The increasing global demand for mud crabs (genus Scylla) and threats to the wild populations highlight the urgency of fully rearing them in captivity. Despite considerable progress in mud crab production, most crab farms ...
Low ph water impairs the tactile sense of the postlarvae of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii
(Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia, 2018)
The effect of low pH on the tactile sense of Macrobrachium rosenbergii postlarvae was determined in the laboratory by means of two behavioural assays: shelter (netting) occupancy and jumping response to touch stimuli (taps) ...
Does age matter?: The information-seeking behavior of Filipino aquaculture researchers
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)
Findings of previous studies revealed that regardless of the objective, age does affect the information-seeking behavior of an individual. Likewise, this study found the same results. Although all of the younger Filipino ...
Quality assessment of newly hatched mud crab, Scylla serrata, larvae
(Wiley, 2018)
Starvation and exposure to formalin were investigated as possible stress tests for evaluating the quality of mud crab, Scylla serrata, larvae. For the starvation stress test, newly hatched zoeae stocked in 150-ml containers ...
Phylogeographic patterns in the Philippine archipelago influence symbiont diversity in the bobtail squid-Vibrio mutualism
(Wiley Open Access, 2018)
Marine microbes encounter a myriad of biotic and abiotic factors that can impact fitness by limiting their range and capacity to move between habitats. This is especially true for environmentally transmitted bacteria that ...
The sea cucumber fishery in Palawan, Philippines
(高知大学大学院黒潮圏海洋科学研究科, 2018)
This paper presents the nature of sea cucumber fishery in Palawan, Philippines with information on gathering practices, commonly traded species and secondary accounts on wild populations. Current issues on sea cucumber ...
Evolution of genome size within the genus Haliotis (Vetigastropoda: Haliotidae)
(National Shellfisheries Association, 2018)
Genome size (C-value) and the percentage of adenine and thymine nucleotides in the genome (AT content) are fundamental characteristics of every species, and very important parameters in molecular cytogenetic and phylogenic ...
High amorphous poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) content in a probiotic Bacillus strain displays better protective effects in Vibrio-challenged gnotobiotic Artemia
(Elsevier, 2018)
In this study, the Bacillus sp. JL47, a superior PHB-accumulating Bacillus strain identified from the previous work, was tested for its protective effects in gnotobiotic Artemia franciscana during a pathogenic Vibrio ...
