Management strategies for grow-out culture of mud crab
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
There is an increasing interest in mud crab farming because of the growing demand for mud crab in domestic and international markets. Different methods for rearing crabs in ponds, pens and cages have evolved through several ...
Morphological deformities in mud crab Scylla serrata juveniles exposed to antibiotics during the larval stage
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
The effects of antibiotics on the survival, growth and external deformities of mud crab Scylla serrata larvae and juveniles were determined. Zoeae were exposed to 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 mgL<sup>-1</sup> oxytetracycline (OTC) and ...
Nursery culture of mud crab Scylla serrata fed diets supplemented with trytophan at two stocking densities
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
Cannibalism has been recognized as one of the major problems in crab culture. The use of dietary tryptophan (TRP) that has been reported to reduce cannibalism in crabs under laboratory conditions was verified in pond nursery ...
Induction of molting in hatchery-reared mud crab Scylla serrata juveniles through temperature manipulation or autotomy
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
The effects of water temperature and autotomy of chelipeds on growth, survival and molting of mud crab, Scylla serrata, juveniles were investigated under laboratory conditions in separate experiments. Hatchery-produced ...
Breeding and culture of the polychaete, Marphysa mossambica, as feed for the mud crab
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
Marine worms (Annelida: Polychaeta) are considered as important food for crustacean broodstock because they contain hormones and correct balance of essential nutrients for reproduction. Marphysa mossambica (Peters, 1854) ...

(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
The socio-economic implications of technology transfer of mud crab culture on small-scale growers in Northern Samar and the mechanism of nursery technology transfer were investigated. The study covered four Peoples ...
Nursery culture of mud crab Scylla serrata using different feeding rates
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
The effect of different feeding rates on the production and profitability of Phases 1 and 2 (3-week each) nursery culture of hatchery-produced crab Scylla serrata was determined. Minced mussel meat and formulated diet (at ...
Nursery culture of mud crab, Scylla serrata, using different ratios of natural food to formulated feed
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
The effect of feeding different ratios of natural food to formulated feed on the production and profitability of Phases 1 and 2 of nursery culture (3 weeks per phase) of hatchery-produced crab Scylla serrata was investigated. ...
Development of protocol for the production of hatchery-reared mud crab Scylla serrata juveniles for soft-shell crab farming
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
Development of economically viable techniques for growing hatchery-reared juvenile crabs to suitable sizes will address the problem on the source of seed stocks for soft-shell crab farming. This paper reports the production ...
Strategies to reduce disease incidence in mud crab culture
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
Mud crab hatchery suffers from low survival due to susceptibility to bacterial infection in the early larval stages among many causes. Despite food safety issues, antibiotics continue to be used in the absence of effective ...
