Use of thraustochytrid Schizochytrium sp. as source of lipid and fatty acid in a formulated diet for abalone Haliotis asinina (Linnaeus) juveniles
(Springer Verlag, 2016)The effects of using thraustochytrid Schizochytrium sp. as source of lipid and fatty acids in a formulated diet on growth, survival, body composition, and salinity tolerance of juvenile donkey’s ear abalone, Haliotis ... -
Survival and settlement rates of Haliotis asinina larvae at different salinity levels
(IAMURE Multidisciplinary Research, 2013)The study was conducted to determine the optimum salinity levels (24 ppt, 28 ppt, 32 ppt, 36 ppt and 40 ppt) for the survival and settlement rates of H. asinina in a complete randomized design with three replicates each. ... -
Environmental control of annual reproductive cycle and spawning rhythmicity of spinefoots
(Graduate School of Kuroshio Science, Kochi University, 2015)Many teleost fishes inhabiting shallow tropical waters exhibit synchronous spawning around species-selective lunar phases during their spawning season. For example, ovaries of the goldlined spinefoot (Siganus guttatus) ... -
Parasites of window-pane oyster (Placuna placenta Linnaeus, 1758) from Trapiche, Oton in west central Philippines
(College of Agriculture, University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2015)Parasitology of edible and commercially valuable window-pane oysters (Placuna placenta L.) using gross macroscopic examination and histology was conducted. To screen for the presence of parasites, wild oysters were collected ... -
Impacts of aquaculture on fish biodiversity in the freshwater lake Laguna de Bay, Philippines
(Wiley, 2016)Laguna de Bay is the largest inland water body in the Philippines, being used predominantly for aquaculture and open water fisheries. Aquaculture in the lake began decades ago, with many changes in the lake ecosystem having ... -
Do adaptation and coping mechanisms to extreme climate events differ by gender? The case of flood-affected households in Dumangas, Iloilo, Philippines
(Asian Fisheries Society, 2014)This study was conducted to identify and analyse gender-differentiated adaptation measures and coping mechanisms formulated and implemented by households during Typhoon Frank (international name Fengshen), in barangays ... -
