Shrimp aquaculture: the Philippine experience
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 1999)
An overview is presented of the shrimp farming industry in the Philippines, noting that it was established as brackish-water aquaculture as early as 1521, although it took until the 1970s to take off, blooming during the ...

Review of recommendations from recent SEAFDEC workshops: SICCPPS and AQUACHEM
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 1999)
The Second International Conference on the Culture of Penaeid Prawns and Shrimps (SICCPPS) was convened in Iloilo City by the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) on May 14-17 1996 to bring together ...
Development of hatchery techniques for the mud crab Scylla serrata (Forskål): Comparison of feeding schemes
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 1999)
Scylla serrata larvae were reared in 3 L plastic containers and fed various amounts of artificial diets (AD) with or without natural food (NF: Brachionus rotundiformis and newly-hatched Artemia). The amounts of AD fed alone ...
Larval survival and megalopa production of Scylla sp. at different salinities
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 1999)
Salinity tolerance was determined for each zoeal stage of Scylla sp. Larvae from ablated pond-grown females were abruptly transferred to salinities of 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32 ppt. Spawning salinity or previous rearing ...
Monosex culture of the mud crab Scylla serrata at three stocking densities with Gracilaria as crab shelter
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 1999)
The effects of three levels of stocking density (0.5, 1.5 or 3.0/m2) and monosex culture (male or female) on the growth, survival and production of Scylla serrata were investigated. Juvenile crabs were stocked in 150 m2 ...
Reproductive performance of pond-sourced Scylla serrata fed various broodstock diets
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 1999)
Feeding experiments were conducted to determine the effect of diet on reproduction of pond-sourced unablated and ablated Scylla serrrata broodstock. Broodstock were fed either natural food (T1) consisting of mussel, squid, ...
The status of seed production of grouper and other coral reef fishes in the Philippines
(Institute for Development Studies, 1999)
Initial work on seed production of grouper in the Philippines was first reported in 1986. Most of the work has been undertaken by the SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD), which concentrated on Epinephelus coioides. ...
Distribution pattern of shrimps and fish among Avicennia and Rhizophora microhabitats in the Pagbilao mangroves, Philippines
(Elsevier, 1999)
For sustainable management of mangrove ecosystems, there is a pressing need to increase our knowledge of fish and invertebrates associated with this system. This study sampled microhabitats (89–258 m<sup>2</sup>) ...
Survival and growth of bighead carp fry exposed to low salinities
(Kluwer, 1999)
Bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis Oshima) fry of various ages (11, 18, and 35 days post-hatch) were exposed to the low salinities encountered during the annual intrusion of seawater in Laguna Lake, Philippines. Practical ...
Test of size-specific mass selection for Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus L., cage farming in the Philippines
(John Wiley and Sons, 1999)
One generation of mass selection based on the collimation procedure (early culling of large fry) was applied on Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus L., in net cages set in Laguna de Bay, Philippines. The objective was to ...
