Notes on the induced spawning, embryonic and larval development of the window-pane shell, Placuna placenta (Linnaeus, 1758), in the laboratory
(Elsevier, 1997)
Intragonadal injection of 0.5 ml of a 2-mM serotonin solution or seawater irradiated by ultraviolet (UV) light (925–1395 mW h/l) induced spawning in male and female window-pane shell, Placuna placenta (Linnaeus, 1758). ...
Sensitivity of fertilized milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) eggs to mechanical shock and simulated transport
(Elsevier, 1998)
Naturally-spawned milkfish eggs are routinely subjected to physical manipulation during collection and transport. To avoid unnecessary mortalities, sensitivity of milkfish eggs to mechanical shock was determined at different ...
Requirements of juvenile marine shrimp, Penaeus monodon (Fabricius) for lysine and arginine
(Elsevier, 1998)
Feeding experiments were conducted using amino acid test diets to determine the dietary requirements of juvenile Penaeus monodon for lysine and arginine. Two sets of the test diets were prepared. The natural protein was ...
Isolation and characterization of vitellin from the ovary of Penaeus monodon
(International Society of Invertebrate Reproduction and Development, 1990)
Female-specific protein (FSP, vitellogenin) in Penaeus monodon hemolymph and its related ovarian protein (vitellin, lipovitellin) were identified and characterized using electrophoretical and immunological procedures. The ...
Cysteine concentration regulates cysteine metabolism to glutathione, sulfate and taurine in rat hepatocytes
(American Society for Nutrition, 1992)
The effect of cysteine concentration and cysteine source [cysteine, methionine or 2-oxo-thiazolidine-4-carboxylate (OTC)] on the metabolism of [35S]cysteine was studied in isolated rat hepatocytes. Production of each of ...
Requirement for tryptophan by milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) juveniles
(Springer Verlag, 1992)
Groups of milkfish juveniles (mean initial weight 7.7 g) were fed semipurified diets containing 0.9, 1.4, 2.1, 3.1, 4.1 and 6.1 g tryptophan/kg dry diet for 12 weeks. The mean crude protein content of the diets (containing ...
Tissue distribution of mercury and selenium in minnows, Phoxinus phoxinus
(Springer Verlag, 1990)
The protective effect of selenium against mercury toxicity has been extensively demonstrated in a number of studies (Burke eta]. 1977; Kasuya 1976). Since mercury uptake is not always diminished by the presence of selenium ...
Growth of five Asian red tilapia strains in saline environments
(Elsevier, 1999)
Growth of five Asian red tilapia strains (BFS, NIFI, FAC, PF and HL) were evaluated in brackish and seawater. Eight-week-old juveniles from the five test strains were size-matched with similarly aged Oreochromis mossambicus ...
Broodstock management and egg production of milkfish, Chanos chanos Forsskal
(Blackwell Publishing, 1993)
The milkfish, Chanos chanos Forsskal, industry in the Philippines suffers from a limited supply of wild fry. The demand for milkfish fry has spurred research in artificial propagation to supplement the natural seed supply. ...
Feeding live or frozen Moina macrocopa (Strauss) to Asian sea bass, Lates calcarifer (Bloch), larvae
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1994)
Growth and survival of hatchery-reared sea bass, Lates calcarifer, larvae fed live or frozen Moina macrocopa were determined, In Experiment 1, Moina was fed to sea bass of different sizes: 3.6 mm, 5.5 mm and 7.6 mm standard ...
