(Walter de Gruyter, 1999)Three species of Sargassum (S. carpophyllum, S. ilicifolium and S. siliquosum were collected each month for a period of one year from the inter- and subtidal zones of Pangil, Currimao, Ilocos Norte, The Philippines. Average ... -
Effect of growth hormone and γ-aminobutyric acid on Brachionus plicatilis (Rotifera) reproduction at low food or high ammonia levels
(Elsevier, 1999)Growth hormone (GH, 0.0025 and 0.025 I.U. ml−1) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA, 50 μg ml−1) enhance rotifer population growth in batch cultures. In order to further understand the mechanism of their ... -
Significant organotin contamination of sediment and tissues of milkfish in brackish water ponds.
(Springer Verlag, 1999)Organotin pesticides, triphenyltin acetate or hydroxide have long been used as an inexpensive method to control the population of brackish water shails Cerithidea cingulata in the pond culture of milkfish (Chanos chanos ... -
Density dependent growth of the tropical abalone Haliotis asinina in cage culture
(Elsevier, 1999)The effects of different stocking densities on the growth, feed conversion ratio and survival of two size groups of the tropical abalone Haliotis asinina were determined. Three culture trials were conducted in net cages ... -
Sensitivity of grouper Epinephelus coioides eggs to handling stress at different stages of embryonic development
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1998)The sensitivity of grouper Epinephelus coioides eggs to handling stress at different stages of embryonic development was investigated. Naturally-spawned grouper eggs in floating net cages were collected and handled at the ... -
Butylated hydroxytoluene: its effect on the quality of shrimp diet stored at various temperatures and on growth and survival of Penaeus monodon juveniles
(Elsevier, 1999)Shrimp diets with and without the antioxidant, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) were stored at 10°, 20°, 28°–30°, and 40°C for 10 weeks. To monitor lipolysis and lipid oxidation, free fatty acid (FFA) content, peroxide values ... -
Ecological considerations in milkfish farming in marine pens and cages in the Philippines
Bagarinao, Teodora
(University of the Philippines in the Visayas, 1998)
Milkfish farming in the Philippines has a long history and great importance, being widely regarded as the way to domestic food security. But the industry has faced new challenges in the past decade, with the advent of many ... -
Milkfish (Chanos chanos) production and water quality in brackishwater ponds at different feeding levels and frequencies
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1998)This study evaluated the effects of different feeding levels and frequencies on milkfish (Chanos chanos) growth, feed efficiency, and water quality in brackish water ponds. Milkfish juveniles (average weight, 1 g) were ... -
Women and the question of sustainable development in a Philippine fishing village
(Taylor & Francis, 1998)This paper presents a case study of time use and contribution to the household income of men, women, and children in 12 households in a fishing village in Panay Island, central Philippines. The study highlights the ... -
Morphometric relationship of length and weight of giant tiger prawn Penaeus monodon according to life stage, sex and source
; ; Lebata, J. L. (Elsevier, 1998)
Regression analysis was performed on length–weight and length–length measurements of Penaeus monodon (n=3270 individuals) including carapace length, body length, total length and body (wet) weight of different life stages ... -
Nature's subsidies to shrimp and salmon farming
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Primavera, Jurgenne; (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1998)
Although many fisheries stocks have declined precipitously throughout the world, fish farming--and especially shrimp and salmon farming--has boomed. The increasingly large scale of these enterprises is now having unforeseen ... -
Requirements of juvenile marine shrimp, Penaeus monodon (Fabricius) for lysine and arginine
(Elsevier, 1998)Feeding experiments were conducted using amino acid test diets to determine the dietary requirements of juvenile Penaeus monodon for lysine and arginine. Two sets of the test diets were prepared. The natural protein was ... -
Mangroves as nurseries: Shrimp populations in mangrove and non-mangrove habitats
(Elsevier, 1998)A total of 4845 penaeids belonging to nine species—Metapenaeus anchistus, M. ensis, M. moyebi, M. philippinensis, Penaeus merguiensis, P. monodon, P. semisulcatus, P. latisulcatus and Metapenaeopsis palmensis—were collected ... -
Experimental induction of lesions in snakeheads (Ophicephalus striatus) and catfish (Clarias batrachus) with Aeromonas hydrophila, Aquaspirillum sp., Pseudomonas sp. and Streptococcus sp.
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1998)Isolates of Aquaspirilluni sp., Pseudomonas sp., and Streptococcus sp. recovered from epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS)-affected snakeheads (Ophicephalus striatus) in Thailand as well as an isolate of Aeromonas hydrophila ... -
Bacterial flora in the hepatopancreas of pond-reared Penaeus monodon juveniles with luminous vibriosis
(Elsevier, 1998)Quantification and characterization of bacterial flora in the hepatopancreas (hp) of pond-reared Penaeus monodon juveniles affected with luminous bacteria were conducted in 1994 and 1995. Shrimp samples were taken from 23 ... -
Bacterial diseases in shrimp (Penaeus monodon) culture in the Philippines
(Japanese Society of Fish Pathology, 1998)The hatchery system for Penaeus monodon evolved from the Japanese community culture system to the modified Galveston method and this shift in culture technique triggered the outbreak of diseases due to opportunistic bacteria. ... -
Mortalities of pond-cultured juvenile shrimp, Penaeus monodon, associated with dominance of luminescent vibrios in the rearing environment
(Elsevier, 1998)Severe mortalities due to luminescent vibrios occurred in pond-cultured Penaeus monodon juveniles particularly in the first 45 days of culture. Luminescent vibriosis epizootics led to reduced shrimp production due to ... -
Assessment of the seaweed-seagrass resource of Mararison Island, Culasi, Antique, Philippines
(Japanese Society of Phycology, 1998)A bimonthly sampling of the seaweed-seagrass resource of Mararison Island, Culasi Antique, was undertaken over 1 year to assess the species composition, similarity of taxa, and biomass (dry weight [d.w.] g m−2) ... -
Sensitivity of fertilized milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) eggs to mechanical shock and simulated transport
(Elsevier, 1998)Naturally-spawned milkfish eggs are routinely subjected to physical manipulation during collection and transport. To avoid unnecessary mortalities, sensitivity of milkfish eggs to mechanical shock was determined at different ...
