Acute lethal toxicity of dried garlic (Allium sativum) powder on orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) juveniles under static exposure
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2022-10-05)
The present study was carried out to assess the toxic effect and determine the lethal concentration of dried garlic (Allium sativum) powder on the orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) juveniles. Laboratory static bioassays were conducted to determine the 96-h LC<sub>50</sub> of different concentrations of garlic (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 mg L<sup>-1</sup>) on grouper juveniles (mean weight, 35.4±6.18 g and mean length, 13.2±0.51 cm). The 96-h LC<sub>50</sub> was 74.78 mg L<sup>-1</sup> with lower and upper confidence limits of 62.8 and 89.06 mg L<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. All fish exposed to 30 to 180 mg L<sup>-1</sup> exhibited rapid movement, faster opercular activity and erratic swimming whereas at higher concentrations (90 mg L<sup>-1</sup> to 180 mg L<sup>-1</sup>) fish showed additional behavioral changes such as loss of balance, lethargy, gulping for air and respiratory distress. Water quality parameters were within the recommended acceptable limits. This LC<sub>50</sub> value can be used as a baseline reference to generate an effective concentration of garlic for future prophylaxis and treatment for parasitic, viral and bacterial infection in grouper....
Ice-Ice disease: An environmentally and microbiologically driven syndrome in tropical seaweed aquaculture
(Wiley, 2022-01)
Seaweeds account for nearly 30% of global aquaculture production by volume, and their cultivation provides important opportunities for employment and wealth generation, particularly in rural coastal communities. Eucheumatoids ...
The aquaculture supply chain in the time of covid-19 pandemic: Vulnerability, resilience, solutions and priorities at the global scale
(Elsevier, 2022)
The COVID-19 global pandemic has had severe, unpredictable and synchronous impacts on all levels of perishable food supply chains (PFSC), across multiple sectors and spatial scales. Aquaculture plays a vital and rapidly ...
Comparison of commercial Spirulina, live Navicula sp. and Chaetoceros calcitrans concentrate as settlement cues for sandfish, Holothuria scabra
(Springer, 2022-05-23)
The settlement of sea cucumbers is a crucial phase of larval development because the highest mortality occurs at this stage. Substrates and cues are commonly used to induce larval settlement. Commercial algae and live ...
Use of rotifers-fed microalgal paste in the seed production of mangrove crab Scylla serrata in the Philippines
(Springer, 2022-09-09)
Despite the progress in the production of artificial diets for marine larvae, feeding during the early life stages of most aquaculture species still relies on live feeds such as rotifers. Advanced rotifer culture techniques ...
