Effects of dietary l-tryptophan on the agonistic behavior, growth and survival of juvenile mud crab Scylla serrata
(Elsevier, 2010)The reduction of the survival of mud crab during culture has been largely attributed to aggressive encounters and cannibalism. In some crustaceans, suppressed aggression is linked to increased concentration of circulating ... -
Cloning of IGF-I, IGF-II and IGF-IR cDNAs in mullet (Mugil cephalus) and grouper (Epinephelus coioides): Molecular markers for egg quality in marine fish
(Knowledgia Scientific, 2010)The putative cDNA sequence of insulin like growth factor (IGF)-I, IGF-II and IGF-IR (receptor) was determined from the tissues of mullet, Mugil cephalus and grouper Epinephelus coioides. The deduced partial coding sequences ... -
Settlement, growth and survival of donkey's ear abalone Haliotis asinina (Linne) in response to diatom diets and attachment substrate
(Science and Technology Information Institute, 2010)The effect of feeding four diatom diets (Amphora sp., Navicula ramosissima, Amphora sp. + N. ramosissima, and mixed diatoms) and two attachment substrates (PP+CCA: polyvinyl plates with crustose coralline algae; PP-CCA: ... -
Initial assessment of the bacterial population of Guimaras waters and soil after the Solar I oil spill
(University of the Philippines Visayas, 2009)A massive oil spill occurred near the shores of Guimaras Island, Philippines in 11 Aug 2006 caused by the Sunken MT Solar I vessel. The oil spill spread to neighboring towns of Guimaras damaging the marine coastal environment, ... -
Post-August 2006 oil spill populations of Penaeid shrimp in island and riverine mangroves in Guimaras, central Philippines
(University of the Philippines Visayas, 2009)To evaluate the impact on biota of the release of arrow up million liters of bunker oil off Guimaras Island, Central Philippines, the penaeid shrimp populations in a protected island mangrove (Tandog) and a riverine mangrove ... -
Immune responses of Asian sea bass, Lates calcarifer Bloch, against an inactivated betanodavirus vaccine
(Blackwell Publishing, 2009)Asian sea bass, Lates calcarifer (Bloch), exhibited strong immune responses against a single injection of the formalin-inactivated red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV), a betanodavirus originally isolated in ... -
Managing fisheries conflicts through communication planning: Experience from inland fisheries of Bangladesh
(Elsevier, 2009)Increasing population, ineffective management, competition among fishing gears over access to resources and proliferation of destructive practices are imposing severe stress on the inland water bodies of Bangladesh. These ... -
Surveillance of emerging fish viral pathogens in some Southeast Asian countries
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 2009)Preventing the transboundary movement of fish viral pathogens in a global environment requires active surveillance. This study examined the presence of three emerging viral pathogens among koi, common, grass, and silver ... -
Evaluation of hatchery-based enhancement of the mud crab, Scylla spp., fisheries in mangroves: comparison of species and release strategies
(CSIRO Publishing, 2009)Ranching, stock enhancement and restocking are management approaches involving the release of wild or hatchery-bred organisms to enhance, conserve or restore fisheries. The present study, conducted from April 2002 to ... -
Molecular epidemiology of koi herpesvirus
(Japanese Society of Fish Pathology, 2009)Three regions of koi herpesvirus (KHV) genomic DNA were compared for 34 samples from Japan, six from Indonesia, two from Taiwan, one from the Philippines, 13 from the Netherlands, one from the UK, one from the USA and one ... -
Non-linearity in ecosystem services: temporal and spatial variability in coastal protection
(Ecological Society of America, 2009)Natural processes tend to vary over time and space, as well as between species. The ecosystem services these natural processes provide are therefore also highly variable. It is often assumed that ecosystem services are ... -
Use of Acadian marine plant extract powder from Ascophyllum nodosum in tissue culture of Kappaphycus varieties
(Springer Verlag, 2009)Three varieties of Kappaphycus alvarezii (Kapilaran, KAP), Tambalang purple (PUR), Adik-adik (AA), and one variety of Kappaphycus striatum var. sacol (green sacol (GS) were used to determine the efficiency of Acadian marine ... -
Price dynamics and cointegration in the major markets of aquaculture species in the Philippines
(Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture, 2009)This study explored the interdependencies of aquaculture markets in the Philippines by establishing price cointegration between wholesale and retail prices of three major species commonly farmed in the country, i.e., ... -
Grow-out of juvenile seahorse Hippocampus kuda (Bleeker; Teleostei: Syngnathidae) in illuminated sea cages
(Blackwell Publishing, 2009)This paper examines the feasibility of rearing 10–15-day- and 0.7–1.5-month-old seahorse Hippocampus kuda in illuminated sea cages to continue existing hatchery protocols to mass produce H. kuda for trade and enhance ... -
Enrichment potential of HUFA-rich thraustochytrid Schizochytrium mangrovei for the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis
