Coastal ecosystem-based management with nonlinear ecological functions and values
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2008)
A common assumption is that ecosystem services respond linearly to changes in habitat size. This assumption leads frequently to an “all or none” choice of either preserving coastal habitats of converting them to human use. ...
WSSV risk factors related to water physico-chemical properties and microflora in semi-intensive Penaeus monodon culture ponds in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 2010)
Whitespot syndrome virus, WSSV, is the most important among the shrimp diseases. One of the suggested WSSV risk factors is the occurrence of stress since stressors could compromise the shrimp defence system thus increasing ...
Broodstock transplantation: An approach for stock enhancement of the 'kapis' shell Placuna placenta along Panay Gulf, central Philippines
(College of Agriculture, University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2012)
The Panay Gulf in central Philippines once supported a substantial ‘kapis’ Placuna placenta (Linnaeus) population that was among the six major sources for this species. However, stock depletion began in the late 1980s ...
Biodegradition of monochloroacetic acid by a presumptive Pseudomonas sp. strain R1 bacterium isolated from Malaysian paddy (rice) field
(Asian Network for Scientific Information, 2008)
A bacterial strain tentatively identified as Pseudomonas sp. R1 was isolated from a paddy (rice) field that could degrade monochloroacetic acid (MCA) for concentrations ranging from 5 to 40 mM. Quantitative agreement between ...
Purification and properties of a non-stereospecific dehalogenase enzyme E (DehE) from Methylobacterium sp. HJ1
(Academic Journals, 2008)
The bacterial isolate HJ1, which was identified as a Methylobacterium sp., grew on 2, 2-dichloropropionic acid as the sole carbon source and produced a 2-haloalkanoic acid hydrolytic dehalogenase. This non-stereospecific ...
Development of a giant grouper Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and its use towards understanding sexual development in grouper
(Elsevier, 2020-07-13)
A recombinant giant grouper Luteinizing Hormone (LH) consisting of tethered beta and alpha subunits was produced in a yeast expression system. The giant grouper LH β-subunit was also produced and administered to rabbits ...
Determination of poly‐β‐hydroxybutyrate assimilation by postlarval whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei using stable 13C isotope tracing
(Wiley, 2021-02)
A preliminary study was conducted to demonstrate fate of the bacterial storage compound poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) once ingested and degraded in vivo in crustaceans. The 2% supplementation of <sup>13</sup>C-labeled ...
In-vitro evaluation of some commercial probiotics used in the grow-out culture of the tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon: Effect on bacterial parameters
(Research India Publications, 2007)
This study was conducted to evaluate 8 commercial probiotic products being marketed for the grow-out culture of the tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon and the “SEAFDEC Indigenous Probiotic”. Bacterial parameters investigated ...
Aeromonas load and species composition in tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) cultured in earthen ponds in the Philippines
(Wiley, 2020-04-14)
Aeromonas load and species composition in the rearing water, sediment, gills and intestines of healthy tilapia Oreochromis niloticus collected every 2 weeks from Days 30 to 120 after stocking in six earthen ponds in the ...
Growth and survival of oyster Crassostrea iredalei (Faustino, 1932): A comparison of wild and hatchery-bred spat in grow-out culture
(Elsevier, 2020-12-25)
Oyster farming is an important industry both in developed and developing countries. The high demand for oysters has caused overexploitation of natural stocks. This led to dwindling spat fall and unstable production. This ...
