(Elsevier, 2022-05)Effect of tank color in combination with substrate-shelters on the survival and growth of the instar of purple mud crab, Scylla tranquebarica (initial body weight of 28.7 ± 2 mg) was investigated. Ten treatments were tested ... -
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 ... -
Economic analysis of stake and rack-hanging methods of farming oysters (Crassostrea iredalei) in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 1998)The cost efficiency of stake and rack-hanging methods of farming oysters are compared. Annual costs and returns data for both methods were obtained from a socioeconomic survey conducted in 1991 at the Aquaculture Department ... -
Efficacy of poultry by-product meal as an effective alternative to fish meal in aquaculture feed for milkfish Chanos chanos
(Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences, 2020)We verified the efficiency of poultry by-product meal (PBM) as a substitute for fish meal (FM) in feed for juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos). Juveniles (mean 48.0 g) were fed for 12 weeks with two experimental feeds ... -
Intracellular production of recombinant GnRH1 in yeast, Pichia pastoris, and its potential as oral treatment to advance gonadal development in juvenile orange-spotted grouper, Epinephelus coioides
(Elsevier, 2022-05)Late maturation and large size at maturity are significant challenges when administering hormonal treatments in captive broodstock. Here, we report the potential of yeast, Pichia pastoris, as a vehicle to orally deliver a ... -
A technical and economic evaluation of supplemental feeding strategies for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) reared in lake-based cages
(AquacultureHub Inc., 2022-03)Tilapia cage farming in eutrophic lakes uses low stocking densities since tilapias can thrive mainly on natural food or minimal supplementary feeding. For semi-intensive Nile tilapia cage culture, feeding strategies to ... -
Residence time models and Pyrodinium blooms in Matarinao and Murcielagos Bays, Philippines
(Department of Science and Technology, 2022-03)This is the first report on hydrodynamic models to determine current and water residence time patterns for Matarinao and Murcielagos bays in the Philippines, which have a long history of harmful algal blooms (HABs). Field ... -
Phytochemical composition antioxidant and antibacterial activity of the Philippine marine green alga (Ulva pertusa)
(Springer, 2022-03)The phytochemical constituents, total phenolic and flavonoid contents, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the ethanolic extract of the marine green alga Ulva pertusa collected from floating fish net cages off the ... -
The influence of monosex rearing on gonad maturation and reproductive behavior of Indian white prawn, Penaeus indicus broodstock
(Elsevier, 2022-02)Monosex culture was proven to be an effective rearing method for grow-out, but in a closed-cycle hatchery, males and females are usually reared communally in tanks until maturation. This study determined the effect of ... -
Biofloc technology (BFT): A promising approach for the intensive production of ornamental fish
(Bioflux (Bioflux SRL), 2021)Biofloc technology (BFT) is an approach in the rearing of fish and shrimp as a means to support intensive culture, maintain optimum water quality, recycle the nutrients and reduce feed costs. The technology is primarily ... -
Effects of exogenous hormones and broodstock age on the spawning response of captive silver therapon Leiopotherapon plumbeus
(Wiley, 2022)Evaluation of appropriate hormone and ideal broodstock age for optimal breeding efficiency may ensure the production of good quality eggs and larvae in the hatchery. In this study, the spawning response of captive silver ... -
Rearing silver therapon Leiopotherapon plumbeus (Teleostei: Terapontidae) larvae using euryhaline rotifers as starter food
(College of Agriculture and Food Science, University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2021-12)The silver therapon Leiopotherapon plumbeus is an important but dwindling freshwater food commodity in Philippine freshwater habitats. The influence of feeding regimes on growth performance and survival of first-feeding ... -
Seasonal population dynamics of Lepeophtheirus spinifer and Neobenedenia sp. coinfecting snubnose pompano (Trachinotus blochii) breeders in marine cages in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 2022)Studies on the biology and ecology of sea lice are lacking in tropical regions such as in Southeast Asia where finfish cage farming has grown dramatically in the past decades. This study investigated the seasonal population ... -
Microbiological quality and heavy metal concentrations in slipper oyster (Crassostrea iredalei) cultured in major growing areas in Capiz Province, Western Visayas, Philippines: Compliance with international shellfish safety and sanitation standards
(International Association for Food Protection, 2022)The increasing demand for slipper oyster (Crassostrea iredalei) has propelled farmers to expand oyster cultivation areas in the Philippines, chiefly for local consumption and feasibly for export overseas. As filter ... -
Utilization of sodium bicarbonate as anesthetic during routine husbandry activities in ornamental fish
(IOP Publishing, 2021-11)The tropical ornamental fish industry requires the stock to be reared in captivity before being sold; thus, exposing them to various handling- and transport-related stressors. A number of commercially available anesthetics ... -
