Seasonal population dynamics of Lepeophtheirus spinifer and Neobenedenia sp. coinfecting snubnose pompano (Trachinotus blochii) breeders in marine cages in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 2022)Studies on the biology and ecology of sea lice are lacking in tropical regions such as in Southeast Asia where finfish cage farming has grown dramatically in the past decades. This study investigated the seasonal population ... -
Microbiological quality and heavy metal concentrations in slipper oyster (Crassostrea iredalei) cultured in major growing areas in Capiz Province, Western Visayas, Philippines: Compliance with international shellfish safety and sanitation standards
(International Association for Food Protection, 2022)The increasing demand for slipper oyster (Crassostrea iredalei) has propelled farmers to expand oyster cultivation areas in the Philippines, chiefly for local consumption and feasibly for export overseas. As filter ... -
Utilization of sodium bicarbonate as anesthetic during routine husbandry activities in ornamental fish
(IOP Publishing, 2021-11)The tropical ornamental fish industry requires the stock to be reared in captivity before being sold; thus, exposing them to various handling- and transport-related stressors. A number of commercially available anesthetics ... -
Assessment of tilapia-freshwater prawn co-culture schemes in tanks and lake-based cages for increased farm production
(MDPI, 2021-12-08)The technical viability of tilapia (I-ExCEL strain Nile or red) and giant freshwater prawn (GFP) co-culture in cages-within-tanks was evaluated while appropriate feeding protocols for tilapia-GFP co-culture in cages in a ... -
Growth performance, production and economic viability of Indian white shrimp (Penaeus indicus H. Milne Edwards) fed with varying dietary protein levels
(Wiley, 2022-03)The growth efficiency, productivity and economic viability of Indian white shrimp (Penaeus indicus) fed with diet containing 40% (CPhigh) and 34% (CPlow) crude protein (CP) levels were determined ... -
Numerical study of diurnal tidal currents on the Pacific shelf off the southern coast of Hokkaido, Japan
(Elsevier, 2021-11)We developed a triply nested, high-resolution (1/50°) ocean model to reproduce tides and tidal currents under realistic oceanographic conditions, mainly on the Pacific shelf around Hokkaido, Japan. The model reproduced ... -
Antioxidant activities and selenogene transcription in the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) liver depend, in a non-linear manner, on the Se/Hg molar ratio of the feeds
(Springer, 2022-05)Feeding 3.9 and 6.7 mg Hg/kg (Se/Hg molar ratios of 0.8 and 0.4, respectively) for 14 days negatively affected Dicentrarchus labrax growth and total DNTB- and thioredoxin-reductase (TrxR) activities and the transcription ... -
Effect of a non-native freshwater goby invasion on spawning habitat use of two native freshwater gobies
(Springer, 2021-10)We tracked the spawning habitat use of two native stream gobies (Rhinogobius fluviatilis and Rhinogobius nagoyae) before and during the invasion of a non-native goby (Rhinogobius sp. OR) and after its disappearance in the ... -
Effects of feeding rate and sediment depth on the survival, growth performance, and biomass of mud polychaete Marphysa iloiloensis from early juvenile to adult in grow-out tanks
(Elsevier, 2022-02-15)Polychaete aquaculture has progressed in some countries to meet the high demand of fish bait and aquaculture industries. However, knowledge on the aquaculture requirements of polychaetes in the grow-out is still scarce. ... -
Undervalued, understaffed, underdeveloped, and underutilized? The status of public libraries in the eleven municipalities of rural Iloilo Province, Philippines
(SAGE Publications, 2021-11-09)Libraries, as service-oriented organizations, are being guided on every aspect of their operation by local and international standards. In the Philippines, public libraries are expected to adhere to the stipulations of the ... -
Improved survival and growth of silver therapon Leiopotherapon plumbeus early juveniles through co‐feeding with Artemia and commercial feeds
(Wiley, 2021-12)This study examined the effects of co-feeding Artemia and commercial feeds on survival, growth and fatty acid composition of silver therapon Leiopotherapon plumbeus early juveniles. Triplicate groups of 36 days post hatch ... -
Distribution of the tropical seaweed crops Eucheuma spp. and Kappaphycus spp. inside and outside of their native range
(Taylor and Francis, 2021)Seaweed aquaculture is a fast-growing industry worldwide and has the potential to change the seascape of coastal regions, including the movement of species outside their native range. Two of the crops with the highest ... -
Dietary taurine in practical diet for two sizes of snubnose silver pompano, Trachinotus blochii
(Wiley, 2021-09-27)Two separate feeding experiments determined taurine requirement levels in diets for growth of two sizes of snubnose silver pompano. The first experiment was conducted for 14 weeks using pompano with average weight of 0.4 ... -
Ice-Ice disease: An environmentally and microbiologically driven syndrome in tropical seaweed aquaculture
(Wiley, 2022-01)Seaweeds account for nearly 30% of global aquaculture production by volume, and their cultivation provides important opportunities for employment and wealth generation, particularly in rural coastal communities. Eucheumatoids ... -
Performance, digestibility efficiencies, gut and liver morphologies of snub nose pompano Trachinotus blochii fed spray‐dried haemoglobin meal as protein substitute for fishmeal
