Milkfish culture in the Philippines
(South Pacific Aquaculture Development Project, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 1990)
In the Philippines, the level of intensity of Chanos chanos culture is categorized into traditional and extensive management. Pond types for different culture systems, stocking practices, acclimation practices, water ...
Economics of milkfish culture in the Philippines
(Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, South Pacific Aquaculture Development Project, 1990)
This paper discusses the costs and returns of three phases in milkfish culture as practiced in the Philippines namely: nursery; stunting or retarding the growth of milkfish fingerlings; and modular culture system.
The ...
Increasing milkfish (Chanos chanos) yields in brackishwater ponds through increased stocking rates and supplementary feeding
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1990)
Brackishwater milkfish culture in the Philippines is normally practiced at fish stocking rates of 2,000-3,000 ha<sup>-1</sup> with fertilizers as the sole nutrient input. Supplementary feeding is not common. We stocked two ...
Survival of larval milkfish, Chanos chanos, during changeover from endogenous to exogenous energy sources
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1990)
Survival of laboratory-reared larvae of milkfish, Chanos chanos , during transition from the prelarval to postlarval stages was examined in relation to the changeover of energy sources. The prelarval and early postlarval ...
Studies on the digestive lipases of milkfish, Chanos chanos
(Elsevier, 1990)
Milkfish grown on two natural foods were examined to determine the distribution pattern of the digestive lipases along the digestive tract and to identify the optimum condition for lipase activity. One food consisted of a ...
Milkfish fry collection and handling.
(Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, South Pacific Aquaculture Development Project, 1990)
Milkfish fry can be collected in almost all the coastal waters of the tropical Indo-Pacific region. The fry season occurs at different times of the year in various sections of the species' geographical range. The season ...
Fisheries biology of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forskal)
(Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, South Pacific Aquaculture Development Project, 1990)
Milkfish (Chanos chanos Forskal) is one of the most important food fish species in the world. In Indonesia, Taiwan and the Philippines, more than a quarter of a million tonnes of milkfish are harvested annually in brackish ...
Heterogeneity in Philippine milkfish populations
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1990)
Twelve milkfish (Chanos chanos ) populations from 6 coastal areas in the Philippines, collected at the fry stage and reared until fingerling size, were analysed for electrophoretic variation at 28 presumptive loci. Seven ...
Food value of Brachionus plicatilis fed three selected algal species as live food for milkfish, Chanos chanos Forsskal, fry production
(Blackwell Publishing, 1990)
The effects of three selected algal species, Tetraselmis tetrahele, Isochrysis galbana and marine Chlorella sp. on the population growth of Brachionus plicatilis was evaluated after 3, 5 and 7 days of culture. The rotifers ...
The effects on growth and survival of feeding water fleas (Moina macrocopa Straus) and rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis ) to milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) fry
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1990)
The effects of feeding water fleas, Moina macrocopa Straus, and rotifers, Brachionus plicatilis, to milkfish, Chanos chanos Forsskal, fry at different feeding rates and frequencies were investigated. Fry (4.66 mg average ...
