Valine requirement of postlarval tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon Fabricius
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1996)The valine requirement of juvenile tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon Fabricius, was determined. Shrimp postlarvae, PL20, with a mean weight of 14 mg, were randomly distributed in 36 oval 40-L capacity fibreglass tanks at 10 ... -
Methionine requirement of juvenile tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon Fabricius
(Elsevier, 1996)An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to determine the dietary requirement of postlarval Penaeus monodon for the sulfur-containing amino acid methionine. Shrimp postlarvae (mean weight 21 ± 0.3 mg) were reared in 40-1 ... -
Biomass and reproductive states of Gracilaria heteroclada Zhang et Xia collected from Jaro, central Philippines
(Walter de Gruyter, 1996)Biomass production and reproductive states were investigated to determine the abundance of Gracilaria heteroclada Zhang et Xia at Jaro, central Philippines from March 1990 to February 1991. Biomass of Gracilaria heteroclada ... -
Virulence and production of extracellular proteins (ECP) of Aeromonas hydrophila associated with the epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS) of freshwater fish
(University of the Philippines in the Visayas, 1996)Sixteen isolates of Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from normal, apparently normal and epizootic-ulcerative syndrome (EUS)-affected fish were screened for virulence and production of extracellular proteins (ECP). Results ... -
Economics of cultivating Kappaphycus alvarezii using the fixed-bottom line and hanging-long line methods in Panagatan Cays, Caluya, Antique, Philippines
(Springer Verlag, 1996)A socio-economic survey was conducted among the Kappaphycus alvarezii planters of Panagatan Cay, Caluya, Antique, Philippines to determine some social information, farming practices and cost and returns of farming the ... -
Economic analysis of prawn (Penaeus monodon) culture in the Philippines, II: Grow-out operations
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1996)The dramatic fall in prawn (Penaeus monodon) prices coupled with environmental concerns has resulted in a relative stagnation of prawn grow-out operations in the Philippines. Leaders of the Philippine aquaculture sector ... -
Bioactivity of stored luteinizing hormone-releasing analogue (LHRHa) in sea bass, Lates calcarifer Bloch
Garcia, Luis Maria
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1996)
The spawning induction activity of dissolved and pelleted (D-Ala6, Pro9 N ethylamide) luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogue (LHRHa) stored for various periods was assessed in mature female ... -
Experiments on virulence dose and portals of entry for Aeromonas hydrophila in walking catfish
(American Fisheries Society, 1996)Aeromonas hydrophila, isolated from chevron snakehead Ophicephalus (=Channa) striatus affected with epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS), was injected intramuscularly into healthy walking catfish Clarias batrachus at varying ... -
Drug assimilation in the tissue of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) fry delivered orally through bioencapsulation
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1996)Assimilation levels of the antibacterials trimethoprim (TMP) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) fry tissue administered orally were investigated. A 1:5 TMP and SMX combination incorporated in an ... -
Nursery rearing of the Asian sea bass, Lates calcarifer, fry in illuminated floating net cages with different feeding regimes and stocking densities
(Cambridge University Press, 1996)Successful rearing of hatchery-reared sea bass, Lates calcarifer, fry in illuminated floating cages was demonstrated in a 42-day experiment. Three feeding regimes, i.e. natural zooplankton (NZ) + minced fish flesh (MFF), ... -
Reproductive performance of four red tilapia strains in different seed production systems
Eguia, Maria Rowena R. (Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1996)
The reproductive efficiency of one Thai red tilapia strain (NIFI) and three genetically diverse Philippine red tilapia strains (BFS, FAC, and PF) were compared. Breeders from each strain were stocked separately in land-based ... -
Improved hatchery rearing of mangrove red snapper, Lutjanus argentimaculatus, in large tanks with small rotifer (Brachionus plicatilis) and Artemia
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1996)A hatchery rearing scheme for the red snapper, Lutjanus argentimaculatus, is described. The feeding regime consisted of Chlorella, Brachionus, Artemia and minced fish. The average survival rate at day 24 was 27% in 3-ton ... -
Agar yield, gel strength and sulfate content in Gracilariopsis heteroclada farmed in brackishwater canals
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1996)This paper aimed at determining the optimum NaOH pretreatment strength and duration and the monthly variations in gel strength, agar yield and sulfate content of agar from Gracilariopsis heteroclada (Zhang et Xia) farmed ... -
Growth rate of the Philippine abalone, Haliotis asinina fed an artificial diet and macroalgae
(Elsevier, 1996)The growth rate of Haliotis asinina fed three diets was evaluated over a 120 day period. Juveniles fed the red alga Gracilariopsis heteroclada and an artificial diet grew faster in terms of both total body weight and shell ... -
A statistical power analysis of the 'internal reference' technique for comparing growth and growth depensation of tilapia strains
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1996)Experiments were conducted to compare the growth and growth compensation of three strains of juvenile Oreochromis niloticus. Ten full sib families (10 replicates) per strain were split and grown under crowded and uncrowded ... -
Small-scale fisheries of coral reefs and the need for community-based resource management in Malalison Island, Philippines
(Elsevier, 1996)Fish landings in Malalison Island in the west central Philippines were monitored from February 1991 to January 1992 to determine the types of fishing gear employed, the predominant species caught, the catch per unit effort ... -
Plasma osmolality and chloride regulation in the sea bass Lates calcarifer
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1996)Seawater-adapted sea bass (Lates calcarifer) subadults and fingerlings were abruptly transferred to fresh water and freshwater-adapted subadults and fingerlings to sea water. To follow the responses of plasma osmolality ... -
Effect of dietary fatty acids on growth of milkfish Chanos chanos fry in brackish water
(Elsevier, 1996)Five purified microbound diets containing 1% of 18:2n − 6, 18:3n − 3, 20:4n − 6, or n − 3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA: 60% 20:5n − 3 + 40% 22:6n − 3) in addition to 8% 18:1n − 9, and a control diet containing 9% ... -
