; Lebata, M. J. H. L. ; ; Altamirano, Jon (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2002)
The mangrove clam Anodontia edentula is highly prized in the Philippines for its flavor and large size. Because this infaunal species is found down to one meter deep in mangrove areas, harvesting the clam reportedly damages ...
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, ...
Runt-deformity syndrome in cultured giant tiger prawn Penaeus monodon
Primavera, Jurgenne ; Quinitio, Emilia T. (Crustacean Society, 2000)
; Quinitio, Emilia T. (Crustacean Society, 2000)
A total of 24 morphological abnormalities associated with the Runt-Deformity Syndrome (RDS) is reported for the first time in 17- to 18-mo old F<sub>3</sub> generation <i>Penaeus monodon</i> (>40 mm CL) belonging to ...
Effect of aquaculture on world fish supplies

; ; ; ; ; ; ; (Nature Publishing Group, 2000)
Global production of farmed fish and shellfish has more than doubled in the past 15 years. Many people believe that such growth relieves pressure on ocean fisheries, but the opposite is true for some types of aquaculture. ...
Illuminating the need for ecological knowledge in economic valuation of mangroves under different management regimes - a critique
; Primavera, Jurgenne (Elsevier, 2000)
(Elsevier, 2000)
This is a commentary on a paper by Gilbert and Janssen (Gilbert, A.J., Janssen, R., 1998. Ecol. Econ. 25, 323–346) that deals with valuation of management alternatives for the Pagbilao mangroves, Philippines. Our main ...
Non-linearity in ecosystem services: temporal and spatial variability in coastal protection
; ; ; ; ; ; ; Primavera, Jurgenne ; ; ; ; ; ; (Ecological Society of America, 2009)
; ; ; ; ; ; (Ecological Society of America, 2009)
Natural processes tend to vary over time and space, as well as between species. The ecosystem services these natural processes provide are therefore also highly variable. It is often assumed that ecosystem services are ...
Size and diel differences in activity patterns of Metapenaeus ensis, Penaeus latisulcatus and P. merguiensis
Primavera, Jurgenne ; Lebata, Ma. Junemie Hazel L. (Taylor & Francis, 2000)
; Lebata, Ma. Junemie Hazel L. (Taylor & Francis, 2000)
The nursery function of mangroves as shelter has been postulated to explain the positive correlation between shrimp catches and mangrove area. This study was undertaken to document shelter use and other activities in ...
Baseline assessment of fisheries for three species of mud crabs (Scylla spp.) in the mangroves of Ibajay, Aklan, Philippines
Lebata, Ma. Junemie Hazel L. ; ; Primavera, Jurgenne ; ; (University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, 2007)
; ; Primavera, Jurgenne ; ; (University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, 2007)
Stock enhancement through habitat restoration and habitat release have both been considered as approaches to the management of declining Scylla spp. Prior to stock enhancement trials, the present study was conducted to ...
Coastal ecosystem-based management with nonlinear ecological functions and values
; ; ; ; ; Primavera, Jurgenne ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2008)
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2008)
A common assumption is that ecosystem services respond linearly to changes in habitat size. This assumption leads frequently to an “all or none” choice of either preserving coastal habitats of converting them to human use. ...
Genetic diversity of wild and cultured black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) in the Philippines using microsatellites
; Primavera, Jurgenne ; ; ; ; (Elsevier, 2001)
; ; ; ; (Elsevier, 2001)
Six microsatellites were used to study (1) the genetic diversity of wild <i>Penaeus monodon</i> shrimp from four geographic regions (Palawan, Quezon, Capiz and Negros Occidental-W) in the Philippines, and (2) its association ...
