Biodiversity in mangrove-derived aquaculture ponds in Dumangas, Iloilo, Philippines
(Science and Technology Information Institute, Department of Science and Technology, 2021-02)Large tracts of mangroves have been converted into aquaculture ponds and the consequent loss of biodiversity has been much decried. This paper shows that high aquatic biodiversity is retained in mangrove-derived aquaculture ... -
Production, feeding and storage of diatom Chaetoceros calcitrans paste by electrolytic flocculation with reduced Pb content
(Wiley, 2021-03-02)An innovative microalgae harvesting technique was carried out under various anode/cathode (2/2, 4/4 and 6/6) configuration and at different voltage treatment (3, 6 and 10 V) to efficiently electroflocculate Chaetoceros ... -
Changes in iodide and thyroid hormone levels of hatchery-reared orange-spotted rabbitfish Siganus guttatus (Bloch 1787) during early larval development
(Elsevier, 2021-07)This paper elucidates the developmental profiles of iodide and thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) in hatchery-reared rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus) during early larval development. ... -
The synergistic impacts of anthropogenic stressors and COVID-19 on aquaculture: A current global perspective
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-02)The rapid, global spread of COVID-19, and the measures intended to limit or slow its propagation, are having major impacts on diverse sectors of society. Notably, these impacts are occurring in the context of other ... -
Genetic diversity, population structure and demographic history of the tropical eel Anguilla bicolor pacifica in Southeast Asia using mitochondrial DNA control region sequences
(Elsevier, 2021-04)The tropical catadromous eel, Anguilla bicolor pacifica, an important fishery resource in Southeast Asia, is under threat due to overexploitation (especially of its glass eel phase) and the limited information on their ... -
Genetic identification of all four mangrove mud crab species (genus Scylla) using multiple molecular markers
(Springer, 2021-02-05)Misleading identification and subsequent publications on biological, molecular, and aquaculture data of mangrove mud crab (genus Scylla de Hann 1833) is a major concern in many countries. In this study, multiple molecular ... -
Growth, metamorphosis and survival of orange-spotted rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus) larvae fed sodium iodide-supplemented brine shrimp (Artemia sp.)
(Elsevier, 2021-04)In an attempt to improve the hatchery production of orange-spotted rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus), the present study evaluated the effects of iodine-supplementation of larval food (Artemia) on endogenous thyroid hormone ... -
Can Ulva reticulata replace Gracilariopsis heteroclada as natural food for the abalone Haliotis asinina?
(Springer, 2021-02-04)Abalone are among the most important fishery resources with high commercial values worldwide, with Haliotis asinina being the most in demand and widely studied species in the Philippines. Abalone culture in the country ... -
First histopathological description of parasites and shell conditions of the donkey's ear abalone Haliotis asinina (Linnaeus, 1758) cultured in marine cages and land-based tanks in the Philippines
(National Shellfisheries Association, 2020-08-26)This study is the first attempt to assess parasitic infestations in grow-out cage culture and land-based grow-out tanks of the donkey's ear abalone Haliotis asinina in the Philippines. This histopathological study of the ... -
Lipids and fatty acid composition in the crustacean model organism Artemia sp. as influenced by poly‐β‐hydroxybutyrate (PHB) supplementation
(Wiley, 2020-12)The effects of dietary poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) on the lipid and fatty acids (FA) in crustaceans were investigated using Artemia as model species. Supplying PHB either in crystalline or amorphous form significantly ... -
Understanding biosecurity: Knowledge, attitudes and practices of seaweed farmers in the Philippines
(Springer, 2021-01-26)Farmers are one of the most important components of any plant-based cultivation industry. The Philippines is one of the world’s major producers of red carrageenophyte algae and has tens of thousands of farmers involved in ... -
Navigating risks and uncertainties: Risk perceptions and risk management strategies in the Philippine seaweed industry
(Elsevier, 2021-04)The Philippine seaweed industry is affected by multiple but interrelated risks. Farmers mainly encountered environment-related risks (e.g. disease, pest infestations) which, if unmanaged, could result to production failure. ... -
Interactive influence of dietary protein and lipid on maturation of Indian white prawn, Penaeus indicus broodstock
(Wiley, 2021)The establishment of protein and lipid requirements for growth of penaeid species is essential in maximizing productivity but information on the effects of these nutrients on gonad maturation is still lacking. Indian white ... -
Growth and survival of oyster Crassostrea iredalei (Faustino, 1932): A comparison of wild and hatchery-bred spat in grow-out culture
(Elsevier, 2020-12-25)Oyster farming is an important industry both in developed and developing countries. The high demand for oysters has caused overexploitation of natural stocks. This led to dwindling spat fall and unstable production. This ... -
Vibrio harveyi-like bacteria associated with fin rot in farmed milkfish Chanos chanos (Forsskal) fingerlings in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 2021-03)Milkfish (Chanos chanos) is a commercially important species widely cultured and consumed in the Philippines. It is a hardy fish but due to culture intensification, occurrence of bacterial disease is inevitable. The causative ... -
The information-seeking behavior of aquatic science librarians in response to a query
(Routledge, 2020-10-01)When searching for information in response to a query, their own library’s online public access catalog (OPAC) and databases remain the most preferred resource for most aquatic science librarians. This preference does not ... -
