Contribution of natural food and supplemental feed to the gut content of Penaeus monodon Fabricius in a semi-intensive pond system in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 1998)
Juvenile Penaeus monodon were stocked in grow-out ponds and fed a compound diet at high rates for 19 weeks under semi-intensive conditions. At three stages of the rearing period (weeks 6, 11 and 16), the gut content of the ...
Studies on the chronic soft-shell syndrome in the tiger prawn, Penaeus monodon Fabricius, from brackishwater ponds
(Elsevier, 1986)
Prawn culture is becoming more widespread in the Philippines. In recent years, prawn production in brackishwater ponds has been adversely affected by a chronic soft-shell syndrome. A field survey of prawn ponds in the ...
Histopathology of the chronic soft-shell syndrome in the tiger prawn Penaeus monodon
(Inter Research, 1987)
One of the disease problems that affect the production of tiger prawn Penaeus monodon Fabricius in brackish-water ponds is the chronic soft-shell syndrome, a condition in which the prawn shell is persistently soft for ...
Phosphorus utilization in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fed practical diets and its consequences on effluent phosphorus levels
(Elsevier, 2003)
Excessive dietary phosphorous (P) concentrations in effluents from aquaculture present a major environmental problem. We therefore studied the effect of dietary P and vitamin D<sub>3</sub> on P utilization by rainbow ...
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 ...
Nutritional evaluation of various plant protein sources in diets for Asian sea bass Lates calcarifer
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2000)
A biological assay was conducted to evaluate the suitability of various leguminous seed meals and leaf meals as dietary protein sources for Asian sea bass, Lates calcarifer. In the growth experiment, fish (initial mean ...
Dietary requirements of rainbow trout for tryptophan, lysine and arginine determined by growth and biochemical measurements
(Springer Verlag, 1986)
Three separate studies were performed to determine the dietary requirements of rainbow troutSalmo gairdneri for tryptophan (Trp), lysine (Lys) and arginine (Arg) from both growth and biochemical data. The growth studies ...
Cysteine concentration regulates cysteine metabolism to glutathione, sulfate and taurine in rat hepatocytes
(American Society for Nutrition, 1992)
The effect of cysteine concentration and cysteine source [cysteine, methionine or 2-oxo-thiazolidine-4-carboxylate (OTC)] on the metabolism of [35S]cysteine was studied in isolated rat hepatocytes. Production of each of ...
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 ...
Requirement for tryptophan by milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) juveniles
(Springer Verlag, 1992)
Groups of milkfish juveniles (mean initial weight 7.7 g) were fed semipurified diets containing 0.9, 1.4, 2.1, 3.1, 4.1 and 6.1 g tryptophan/kg dry diet for 12 weeks. The mean crude protein content of the diets (containing ...
