Evaluation of leguminous seed meals and leaf meals as plant protein sources in diets for juvenile Penaeus indicus
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1998)
The potential of locally available legumes (white cowpea, Vigna unguiculata, and green mung-bean, Vigna radiata) and leaf meals (papaya, Carica papaya, and cassava, Manihut esculenta) in combination with defatted soybean ...
Sulphur amino acid requirement of juvenile Asian sea bass Lates calcarifer
(John Wiley and Sons, 1999)
The dietary requirement of juvenile Asian sea bass Lates calcarifer for total sulphur amino acids was studied. Fish (average initial weight of 2.59 plus or minus 0.08 g) were reared in twelve 500 L fibreglass tanks provided ...
Variation in the biochemical composition of Penaeus monodon tissues during the reproductive cycle.
(Bamidgeh, 1990)
The gonadosomatic index (GSI) and the hepatosomatic index (HSI) were determined for wild-caught, eyestalk ablated Penaeus monodon at 5 reproductive stages (I to V). Tissues of the muscle, ovary and hepatopancreas in each ...
Requirements of juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) for essential amino acids
(American Society for Nutrition, 1993)
The dietary requirements of juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) for essential amino acids were determined in a series of experiments. The fish (< or = 8.0 g) were reared in fiber glass tanks provided with flow-through ...
Isolation and characterization of vitellin from the ovary of Penaeus monodon
(International Society of Invertebrate Reproduction and Development, 1990)
Female-specific protein (FSP, vitellogenin) in Penaeus monodon hemolymph and its related ovarian protein (vitellin, lipovitellin) were identified and characterized using electrophoretical and immunological procedures. The ...
Effect of dietary protein to energy ratios on growth, survival, and body composition of juvenile Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer
(Elsevier, 1995)
The optimum protein-to-energy (P/E) ratio for juvenile sea bass (body weight, 1.34 ± 0.01 g) was determined using practical diets in a 3 × 3 factorial experiment. Three protein levels (35, 42.5 or 50%) and three lipid ...
Methionine requirement of juvenile tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon Fabricius
(Elsevier, 1996)
An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to determine the dietary requirement of postlarval Penaeus monodon for the sulfur-containing amino acid methionine. Shrimp postlarvae (mean weight 21 ± 0.3 mg) were reared in 40-1 ...
Oral delivery in aquaculture: Controlled release of proteins from chitosan-alginate microcapsules
(Aquacultural Engineering Society (AES), 1994)
Potentially, the most useful method of fish vaccination is oral administration. However, this technique is presently only partially effective because of the apparent destruction of the vaccine in the fish digestive system, ...
Arginine and threonine requirements of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) juveniles
(Elsevier, 1991)
Growth studies were conducted with milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) juveniles to determine the quantitative requirements for arginine and threonine. The amino-acid test diets (40% crude protein) contained casein and gelatin ...
Growth and reproductive performance of bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) reared with or without feeding in floating cages
(Elsevier, 1991)
Bighead carp (10.5 months old) stocked in cages in Laguna de Bay were assigned the following feeding treatments: 1. 40% protein diet, 2. 20% protein diet, and 3. no artificial diet (control), to determine the effects of ...
