The sulfide tolerance of milkfish and tilapia in relation to fish kills in farms and natural waters in the Philippines
(Kluwer Academic Publisher, 1998)
Fish kills of milkfish Chanos chanos and tilapia Oreochromis spp. now occur frequently in brackish, marine, and freshwater farms (ponds, pens, and cages) in the Philippines. Aquafarms with high organic load, limited water ...
Resistance to antibiotics of Vibrio spp. and Aeromonas spp. isolated from fish and shrimp tissues and rearing water in Panay island, Philippines
(University of the Philippines Visayas, 1998)
A survey on the resistance patterns to selected antibiotics of bacterial pathogens of fish and shrimps in Panay Island, Philippines was conducted. One hundred and sixteen (116) bacterial isolates were collected from fish ...
Mortalities of pond-cultured juvenile shrimp, Penaeus monodon, associated with dominance of luminescent vibrios in the rearing environment
(Elsevier, 1998)
Severe mortalities due to luminescent vibrios occurred in pond-cultured Penaeus monodon juveniles particularly in the first 45 days of culture. Luminescent vibriosis epizootics led to reduced shrimp production due to ...
Effect of dietary astaxanthin and vitamin A on the reproductive performance of Penaeus monodon broodstock
(Cambridge University Press, 1998)
The reproductive performance of pond tiger shrimp given astaxanthin (100 mg·kg<sup>−1</sup>) and/or vitamin A (20 000 IU·kg<sup>−1</sup>) for 61 d in tanks was assessed in a 2 × 2 factorial experiment in a completely ...
Bacterial diseases in shrimp (Penaeus monodon) culture in the Philippines
(Japanese Society of Fish Pathology, 1998)
The hatchery system for Penaeus monodon evolved from the Japanese community culture system to the modified Galveston method and this shift in culture technique triggered the outbreak of diseases due to opportunistic bacteria. ...
Economic analysis of stake and rack-hanging methods of farming oysters (Crassostrea iredalei) in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 1998)
The cost efficiency of stake and rack-hanging methods of farming oysters are compared. Annual costs and returns data for both methods were obtained from a socioeconomic survey conducted in 1991 at the Aquaculture Department of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC/AQD). On average, 14 kg m<sup>−2</sup> (shell-on) and 22 kg m<sup>−2</sup> (shell-on) were produced using the stake and rack-hanging methods, respectively. The translog cost function for 58 oyster farms was estimated using iterative seemingly unrelated regression (SUR). Statistical analysis indicates that the higher production from the rack-hanging method is significantly different (α=0.10) from the production using the stake method. The cost-efficient method varied based on production levels. At output levels less that 9044 kg (shell-on), the rack-hanging method had lower average cost per unit, and for higher production levels the stake method had the lower average costs. Similar conclusions were drawn from the marginal cost analysis. Results imply when production is less than 9044 kg, then the most efficient technology is the rack-hanging method and if production is greater than 9044 kg, the most efficient method is the stake method....
Nature parks, museums, gardens, and zoos for biodiversity conservation and environment education: the Philippines
(Springer Verlag, 1998)
Public consciousness about biodiversity and the environment, and their importance for sustainable development is not widespread in the Philippines. This article advocates nonformal environment education through nature ...
