Comparative study on the embryonic development of three mud crabs Scylla spp.
(Blackwell Publishing, 2012)Morphological changes in the embryos, egg size and development, incubation period and morphological structures of newly hatched zoea of three mud crab Scylla species were determined. The three species exhibited similar ... -
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) risk factors associated with shrimp farming practices in polyculture and monoculture farms in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 2011)White spot sydrome virus (WSSV) is one of the most important viral disease of shrimp. Several studies to control the disease have been done. Tank experiments identified WSSV risk factors related to the physico chemical ... -
Survival and growth of mud crab, Scylla serrata, juveniles subjected to removal or trimming of chelipeds
(Elsevier, 2011)The effects of removing or trimming the chelipeds at various molt stages on regeneration, molt interval (MI) and specific growth rate (SGR) were determined in mud crab Scylla serrata. These strategies in combination with ... -
Domestication of the mud crab Scylla serrata
(Springer Verlag, 2011)The significant decrease in wild mud crab population highlights the need to manage the resources and domesticate crabs. This paper presents the initial results of the domestication of mud crab Scylla serrata aimed at ... -
Phenotypic differences between hatchery-reared and wild mud crabs, Scylla Serrata, and the effects of conditioning
(Springer Verlag, 2011)Hatchery-reared animals for stock enhancement should be competent to survive and grow at rates equivalent to those of wild conspecifics. However, morphological differences are often observed, and pre-conditioning steps may ... -
Susceptibility of hatchery-reared snubnose pompano Trachinotus blochii to natural betanodavirus infection and their immune responses to the inactivated causative virus
(Elsevier, 2011)Mass mortality of snubnose pompano Trachinotus blochii fry exhibiting dark coloration, anorexia, and abnormal swimming behavior was recently documented at the hatchery of the Aquaculture Department of the Southeast Asian ... -
Influence of salinity on survival and molting in early stages of three species of Scylla crabs
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology (SIAMB), 2011)Early instars of three mud crab Scylla species were reared in different salinities and survival and growth were compared. Scylla olivacea were reared in salinities of 12, 16, 20, 24, and 32 g/l (control). Scylla serrata ... -
Prevalence of viral nervous necrosis (VNN) virus in wild-caught and trash fish in the Philippines
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2011)Viral nervous necrosis (VNN) caused by piscine nodavirus is a devastating disease affecting mainly marine finfish. In the Philippines, VNN was first reported in hatchery-reared grouper (Epinephelus coioides) broodstock in ... -
Growth and feed efficiency in mangrove red snapper, (Lutjanus argentimaculatus Forsskal 1775) fed practical diets supplemented with L-ascorbyl-2-monophosphate-Mg
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology (SIAMB), 2011)Growth and feed efficiency were determined in red snapper, Lutjanus argentimaculatus (Forsskal 1775), fed diets containing L-ascorbyl-2-monophosphate-Mg (AMP). Fish (13.39±0.08 g) were fed a practical diet without vitamin ... -
Effects of UV-treated sea water, chlorinated sea water, and formalin-treated copepods on survival and growth of newborn seahorses, Hippocampus comes
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology (SIAMB), 2011)Seed production of the seahorse Hippocampus comes was examined using different types of sea water (UV-treated, chlorinated, sand-filtered), and formalin-treated copepod Pseudodiaptomous sp. as a food organism. Growth and ... -
Potentials of Kappaphycus striatum (Schnitz) and Gracilaria heteroclada Zhang (Ad Xia) to control the growth of luminous bacteria Vibrio harveyi
(University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2010)Different aquaculture species such as finfishes and bivalves have been reported to control the luminous bacterial disease of shrimp, usually caused by Vibrio harveyi. The use of seaweeds in shrimp culture system has ... -
WSSV risk factors related to water physico-chemical properties and microflora in semi-intensive Penaeus monodon culture ponds in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 2010)Whitespot syndrome virus, WSSV, is the most important among the shrimp diseases. One of the suggested WSSV risk factors is the occurrence of stress since stressors could compromise the shrimp defence system thus increasing ... -
