Isolation, cDNA cloning, and growth promoting activity of rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus) growth hormone
(Elsevier, 2000)We report the isolation, cDNA cloning, and growth promoting activity of rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus; Teleostei; Perciformes; Siganidae) growth hormone (GH). Rabbitfish GH was extracted from pituitary glands under alkaline ... -
Growth, agar yield and quality of selected agarophyte species from the Philippines
(Walter de Gruyter, 2000)Three local agarophyte species (Gracilaria firma, Gracilaria sp. and Gracilariopsis bailinae) were grown under controlled outdoor flow-through culture conditions. Growth rates and agar characteristics of the three species ... -
Elemental sulfur in the gills of the mangrove mud clam Anodontia edentula (Family Lucinidae)
Lebata, Junemie Hazel L.
(National Shellfisheries Association, 2000)
Different sizes of the mangrove mud clam Anodontia edentula were collected from the mangroves in Brgy. San Roque in Estancia, Iloilo, central Philippines, and the mantle, gill, and foot tissues were analyzed for ... -
Gill structure, anatomy and habitat of Anodontia edentula: Evidence of endosymbiosis
Lebata, Ma. Junemie Hazel L.; Primavera, Jurgenne (National Shellfisheries Association, 2001)
Surveys and interviews were conducted to determine sources and habitat of Anodontia edentula. Results showed that they inhabit muddy substrate of mangrove areas or the adjacent mudflats, burying at 20-60 cm deep in the ... -
Collection of the clam Anodontia edentula in mangrove habitats in Panay and Guimaras, central Philippines
Primavera, Jurgenne; Lebata, M. J. H. L. ; ; Altamirano, Jon (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2002)
The mangrove clam Anodontia edentula is highly prized in the Philippines for its flavor and large size. Because this infaunal species is found down to one meter deep in mangrove areas, harvesting the clam reportedly damages ... -
Community fishery resources management on Malalison Island, Philippines: R & D framework, interventions, and policy implications
(Taylor & Francis, 2000)In 1991, the Aquaculture Department of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center launched a community-based fishery resources management project on Malalison Island, in central Philippines, to help conserve the ... -
Commercial evaluation of monosex pond culture of the mud crab Scylla species at three stocking densities in the Philippines.
(Elsevier, 1999)The effects of three levels of stocking density (0.5, 1.5 or 3.0 m−2) and monosex culture (male or female) on the growth, apparent feed conversion ratio (FCR), survival, and production of mixed species of mud ... -
Use of copepod nauplii during early feeding stage of grouper Epinephelus coioides
(Japanese Society of Fisheries Science, 1999)Newly-hatched Epinephelus coioides larvae were stocked in five 5-ton tanks at an initial density of 25, 000 ind/tank. Copepod nauplii were propagated in four of these tanks by inoculating various densities (20 to 80 ind/l) ... -
Feed ration for different sizes of wild and hatchery-bred milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1999)Intensified production of fish involves stocking at high densities and the use of artificial feeds. These practices result in eutrophication and environmental degradation mainly because of feed wastage and fish excreta. ... -
Distribution pattern of shrimps and fish among Avicennia and Rhizophora microhabitats in the Pagbilao mangroves, Philippines
; ; ; Primavera, Jurgenne (Elsevier, 1999)
For sustainable management of mangrove ecosystems, there is a pressing need to increase our knowledge of fish and invertebrates associated with this system. This study sampled microhabitats (89–258 m2) ... -
Sargassum Studies in Currimao, Ilocos Norte, Northern Philippines II. Seasonal Variations in Alginate Yield and Viscosity of Sargassum carpophyllum J. Agardh, Sargassum ilicifolium (Turner) C. Agardh and Sargassum siliquosum J. Agardh (Phaeophyta, Sargassaceae)
(Walter de Gruyter, 1999)The yield (%) and viscosity (cps) of alginate from Sargassum carpophyllum, S. ilicifolium and S. siliquosum collected along the inter- and subtidal zones of Currimao, Ilocos Norte were determined monthly for a period of ... -
Interaction between dietary levels of calcium and phosphorus on growth of juvenile shrimp, Penaeus monodon
(Elsevier, 1999)Information on the dietary phosphorus (P) requirement is essential in the formulation of a cost-effective and low-pollutant feed. Ten isonitrogenous (40% CP) casein–gelatin-based diets containing five graded levels of P ... -
A combined upflow and fluidized sand filter for recirculating systems
(Society of Aquaculture Engineers of the Philippines, Inc., 1999)The process required and options for water treatment in recirculating systems have been clearly identified. The four most critical processes are: (1) solids removal, to take out fecal waste, uneaten feed, excess bacterial ... -
Analysing the diel feeding patterns and daily ration of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.), in Laguna de Bay, Philippines
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1999)Cage cultured Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, were sampled at a commercial set-up on two occasions in 1995 in Laguna de Bay, Philippines, each time over a 24 h cycle. The stomach content weights were averaged for each ... -
Survival of Penaeus monodon postlarvae and juveniles at different salinity and temperature levels.
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1998)Penaeus monodon postlarvae (PL1, PL5, PL10, and PL15) and juveniles (0.2 and 2 g mean weights) were acclimated gradually within 6 h to test temperatures of 22°, 28°, and 33°C. After 24 h, the postlarvae were abruptly ... -
Effect of dietary astaxanthin and vitamin A on the reproductive performance of Penaeus monodon broodstock
(Cambridge University Press, 1998)The reproductive performance of pond tiger shrimp given astaxanthin (100 mg·kg−1) and/or vitamin A (20 000 IU·kg−1) for 61 d in tanks was assessed in a 2 × 2 factorial experiment in a completely ... -
Essentiality of phosphorus, magnesium, iron, zinc, and manganese in milkfish diet
(Japanese Society of Fisheries Science, 1999)Six semi-purified casein based diets were formulated to contain either a complete mineral mixture (control) or mineral premixes from which a specific test mineral was deleted to obtain phosphorus(P)-free, magnesium(Mg)-free, ... -
Quantitative dietary requirements of postlarval tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon, for histidine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine and tryptophan
(Elsevier, 1999)The quantitative requirements of postlarvae Penaeus monodon for essential amino acids were determined through a series of feeding experiments. Test diets contained casein–gelatin as natural proteins supplemented with ... -
Winter distribution of phytoplankton and zooplankton around some sandbanks of the Belgian coastal zone
(Oxford University Press, 1998)The distribution of phytoplankton and zooplankton around three sandbanks (Gootebank, Westhinder and Buitenratel sandbank) off the Belgian Coast was investigated in February 1994. The abundance of phytoplankton taxa was ... -
