Intensive prawn farming in the Philippines: ecological, social, and economic implications
(Springer Verlag, 1991)
The benefits of intensive farming of the giant tiger prawn Penaeus monodon in the Philippines are discussed in relation to the environmental costs. Ecological effects include mangrove conversion into ponds; use of antibiotics ...
Large scale hatchery production of Penaeus monodon using natural food and artificial diets
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1991)
Natural food in combination with either SEAFDEC formulated or other commercial larvae diets was tested for large scale production of Penaeus monodon postlarvae. Two trials of 3 treatments each, 2 replications of each ...
Microbound larval feed as supplement to live food for milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) larvae
(European Aquaculture Society, 1991)
Highly variable results using Brachionus as food for milkfish (Chanos chanos) larvae may be related to: (1) relatively low content of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs) in Brachionus and (2) inability of first feeding ...
Fate and effects of water-borne heavy metals in Penaeus monodon
(European Aquaculture Society, 1991)
Heavy metals impair the aquaculture of shrimps and the quality of shrimp products. Some heavy metals occur in high amounts particularly in the hepatopancreas and the antennal gland (Gibson and Barker, 1979). This study was ...
Cryopreservation of different strains of the euryhaline rotifer Brachionus plicatilis embryos
(Japanese Society of Fisheries Science, 1991)
Cryopreserevation of different strains of Brachionus plicatilis symmetrical stage embryos was conducted. One S-type strain, namely Yashima-S (YS), and three L-type strains, namely Yashima-L (YL), Nagasaki (NG), and Hamana ...

Aquaculture and the coastal environment
(Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development, 1991)
Philippine aquaculture production mostly comes from pond culture (brackishwater) constituting 47% of the total 1987 production of 560,970 t followed by mariculture of seaweeds, mollusks and finfishes. Fishponds have increased ...
Mariculture techniques for Epinephelus sp. in the Philippines
(Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development; French Embassy in the Philippines, 1991)
This paper reviews the status of different techniques that are presently practiced for Ephinephelus sp. culture in the Philippines. Constraints and problems encountered as well as possible solutions are also discussed.
Survival of yolk-sac larvae of grouper (Epinephelus suillus) under simulated transport conditions.
(European Aquaculture Society. EAS Special Publication No. 15, 1991)
Transport of live fish is a routine activity in aquaculture. Various transport techniques have been reported by Berka. Transport of grouper eggs (Epinephelus suillus) between fisheries stations in Thailand is being conducted. ...
Modular method of rearing milkfish with artificial feed.
(Asian Fisheries Society. AFS Spec. Publ. 5, 1991)
The study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of a practical diet, the profitability of feeding during 2 seasons, and the effect of a diet with coconut oil on the fatty acid profile of milkfish (Chanos chanos ) ...
Survival of newly-hatched larvae of Epinephelus malabaricus at different salinity levels.
(European Aquaculture Society. EAS Special Publication No. 15, 1991)
The development of an appropriate hatchery culture-technique for grouper Epinephelus malabaricus requires knowledge on the biology of this species. The environmental requirements, a critical aspect of biology, have, however, ...
