Nursery and grow-out culture of the abalone Haliotis asinina on a reef flat: A comparison of growth and survival using different culture containers
(Elsevier, 2021-08)The study was conducted to compare four different culture containers [cage, recycled oil container, tray (control), and tube] in the nursery and grow-out culture of the abalone Haliotis asinina on a reef flat. For nursery ... -
Factors affecting the spatio-temporal variability in the production of sandfish Holothuria scabra juveniles in floating hapa ocean nursery systems
(Elsevier, 2021-04)Hatchery production of the tropical sea cucumber Holothuria scabra or sandfish has been successfully demonstrated in various countries, especially during the past decade. However, the main bottleneck in up-scaling production ... -
Growth performance and condition factor of juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos) cultured in a marine pen in relation to body size and temperature
(Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS), 2021-04-01)The growth performance and condition factor (CF) of milkfish (Chanos chanos) in relation to body size and temperature were investigated in a shallow marine pen culture system in coastal waters of the Philippines. Three ... -
Exploring, harnessing and conserving marine genetic resources towards a sustainable seaweed aquaculture
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-03-27)Seaweed cultivation is the fastest‐growing aquaculture sector, with a demonstrable potential to drive development in some of the poorest coastal populations worldwide. However, sustainable exploitation, fair access and ... -
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 ... -
