Mangroves, fishponds, and the quest for sustainability
Primavera, Jurgenne 
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2005)
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2005)
Aquaculture, the farming of shrimp and other useful aquatic and marine plants and animals in artificially confined and tended ponds, pens, and cages, ranks as a phenomenal success story in global food production. In 1975, ...
A lesson from cyclone Larry: An untold story of the success of good coastal planning
; ; Primavera, Jurgenne (Elsevier, 2007)
(Elsevier, 2007)
When tropical cyclone Larry crossed the Queensland coast on 20 March 2006, commercial, recreational and naval vessels in the port of Cairns, 60 km north of the eye of the cyclone and others closer to the eye, were protected ...
The loss of species: Mangrove extinction risk and geographic areas of global concern
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Primavera, Jurgenne ; ; ; ; ; (PLoS ONE, 2010)
; ; ; ; ; (PLoS ONE, 2010)
Mangrove species are uniquely adapted to tropical and subtropical coasts, and although relatively low in number of species, mangrove forests provide at least US $1.6 billion each year in ecosystem services and support ...
Socio-economic impacts of shrimp culture
Primavera, Jurgenne (Blackwell Publishing, 1997)
(Blackwell Publishing, 1997)
Farmed shrimp contributed 27% of total world shrimp production in 1995 with a volume of 712 000 tonnes. Undoubtedly, the shrimp culture industry earns valuable foreign exchange for developing countries and generates jobs ...
Practical techniques for mapping small patches of mangroves
; Primavera, Jurgenne ; ; (Springer, 2010)
; ; (Springer, 2010)
Practical mapping methods employing GPS field surveys and manual image analyses with affordable software were used to assess two mangrove sites in Aklan Province, NE Panay Island, central Philippines. The Jawili mangroves, ...
Effect of different stocking densities on survival and growth of sugpo (Penaeus monodon Fabricius) in a milkfish-rearing pond
Primavera, Jurgenne ; ; (STII-DOST, 1976)
; ; (STII-DOST, 1976)
Employing a direct stocking monoculture method, postlarval P. monodon were stocked in 8 compartments of a shallow milkfish rearing pond at densities of 1, 2, 3 and 4/sq m with replicates. Feeding was exclusively natural ...
A comparison of two prawn (Penaeus monodon ) brood stock systems—land–based tanks and marine pens
Primavera, Jurgenne ; (World Aquaculture Society, 1981)
; (World Aquaculture Society, 1981)
The paper compares two prawn (Penaeus monodon) brood stock systems—land-based tanks and marine offshore pens. Construction costs and annual maintenance and operating costs total US\$1,430 and \$2,550 for the tank and \$1,500 ...
Light color and ovarian maturation in unablated and ablated giant tiger prawn Penaeus monodon (Fabricius)
Primavera, Jurgenne ; (Elsevier, 1992)
; (Elsevier, 1992)
The effect of light color (green, blue and white fluorescent lights, with natural light as a control) on maturation in intact and eyestalk-ablated Penaeus monodon was tested in 12-m<sup>3</sup> broodstock tanks. Size and ...
Distribution pattern of shrimps and fish among Avicennia and Rhizophora microhabitats in the Pagbilao mangroves, Philippines
; ; ; Primavera, Jurgenne (Elsevier, 1999)
(Elsevier, 1999)
For sustainable management of mangrove ecosystems, there is a pressing need to increase our knowledge of fish and invertebrates associated with this system. This study sampled microhabitats (89–258 m<sup>2</sup>) ...
Survival rates of different Penaeus monodon Fabricius postlarval stages
Primavera, Jurgenne (National Science Development Board, 1976)
(National Science Development Board, 1976)
Four different postlarval stages (P<sub>11</sub>, P<sub>15</sub> , P<sub>21</sub>, and P<sub>25</sub>) of P. monodon were stocked in suspension nets at the rate of 200 fry/sq m with 3 nets for each postlarval stage. Pond ...
