Preliminary survey of pests and diseases of eucheumatoid seaweed farms in the Philippines
(Springer, 2021-05-04)
Farmed eucheumatoids are the top aquaculture commodity in the Philippines, contributing more than 60% of total national aquaculture production by volume. Despite significant production losses observed in recent years due ...
Phylogenetic analysis of tilapia lake virus (TiLV) isolates from the Philippines based on partial genome segment 3 sequences
(College of Agriculture and Food Science, University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2022-03)
This study aimed to expand current knowledge on TiLV genetic diversity by sequence analysis of a portion of genome segment 3 of TiLV detected from the Philippines. This includes a recently deposited sequence in GenBank ...
In vitro and in vivo evaluation of the efficacies of commercial probiotics and disinfectant against acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease and luminescent vibriosis in Litopenaeus vannamei
(Elsevier, 2024-05)
The bioactivities of two commercially available probiotics and one chemical disinfectant were tested against strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP<sub>AHPND</sub>) and V. harveyi. This study aimed to determine shrimp pathogenic Vibrios' in vitro and in vivo sensitivities to commercial probiotics and a chemical disinfectant. The probiotics and disinfectant were tested first in vitro, followed by the in vivo trials. Results showed that upon administration of probiotics either through diet or adding into the tank water, the survivability of shrimp was increased during challenge with VP<sub>AHPND</sub> and V. harveyi. Also, the disinfectant was tested against the same pathogens and showed positive bactericidal effects at 2500 ppm and 5000 ppm. The present findings suggest that adding probiotics to the rearing water or the shrimp feeds effectively prevents infection by lowering the load of pathogenic bacteria. In comparison, the effectiveness of the disinfectant (PUR) depends on its appropriate concentration and timing of application. It is not only limited to rearing water but is also applicable for decontaminating pond liners, tanks, and other paraphernalia....
Seasonal growth, carrageenan properties, and resistance to disease and epiphytic pests between Kappaphycus alvarezii (Rhodophyta) var. tambalang (brown) tissue-cultured and farm-sourced seaweeds
(Springer, 2024-01-08)
Growth performance (specific growth rate [SGR] and biomass yield), carrageenan properties (yield, viscosity, and gel strength), and disease and pest incidence were compared between Kappaphycus alvarezii var. tambalang ...
