Stock enhancement of abalone, Haliotis asinina, in multi-use buffer zone of Sagay Marine Reserve in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 2020)Donkey's ear abalone (Haliotis asinina) is a gourmet seafood export of the Philippines but its wild stock is at risk due to high fishing pressure. This paper aims to show evidences that abalone seeds produced in hatcheries ... -
Point-of-no-return and delayed feeding mortalities in first-feeding larvae of the silver therapon Leiopotherapon plumbeus (Kner) (Teleostei: Terapontidae)
(Elsevier, 2020-02)This study examined the incidence of mortalities among first-feeding post-yolk sac silver therapon Leiopotherapon plumbeus (Kner) larvae deprived of live food in the hatchery. Starting after their yolk was consumed at 40 ... -
Behavioural evidence for colour vision determined by conditioning in the purple mud crab Scylla tranquebarica
(Springer Verlag, 2020-01-04)Crabs and shrimps (order Decapoda) use colours in various tasks such as foraging and mate choice. Colour vision requires at least two types of photoreceptors with different spectral sensitivities. Previous physiological ... -
Morphological descriptions and morphometric discriminant function analysis reveal an additional four groups of Scylla spp
(PeerJ, 2020-01-03)There are four species of mud crabs within the genus Scylla, and most of them live sympatrically in the equatorial region. Apart from a report in Japan about the finding of a natural Scylla hybrid more than a decade ago ... -
Biosecurity policy and legislation for the global seaweed aquaculture industry
(Springer Verlag, 2020-08)Each year a significant proportion of global food production is lost to pests and diseases, with concerted efforts by government and industry focussed on application of effective biosecurity policies which attempt to ... -
Variation of otolith strontium concentration in elongate surgeonfish, Acanthurus mata
(Ite-iba Inc., 2005)The Elongate surgeonfish Acanthurus mata caught from the sea and feeding in the milkfish’s net cages separated from wild fish were measured for their otolith strontium (Sr) concentration using an wave-length dispersive ... -
