Analysis of small-scale coastal aquaculture in the Philippines
(Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences, 2007)
We studied the influence of the development of aquaculture in the Philippines on the local economy, focusing on coastal fishers in two towns in Capiz and Iloilo, Panay Island, Philippines. Coastal residents in the two towns ...
Microbial diseases in aquaculture: issues and challenges
(Marine Science Institute, University of the Philippines, 2007)
Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms including fish, molluscs, crustaceans and aquatic plants where farming implies some intervention in the rearing process to enhance production, such as regular stocking, ...
DNA amplicons using arbitrary primers distinguish polymorphic loci among mangrove thraustochytrid genomes
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2007)
Thraustochytrids - lightly-pigmented estuarine and marine microheterotrophs, taxonomically aligned with heterokont algae - are of great biotechnological interest because they produce substantial amounts of polyunsaturated ...
Philippine thraustochytrids from mangroves: A rich new source of essential fatty acids for human nutrition
(Marine Science Institute, University of the Philippines, 2007)
Assessment of the effectiveness of mangrove rehabilitation using exploited and non-exploited indicator species
(Elsevier, 2007)
Mangrove forests have been cleared at an alarming rate over the last century to allow space for settlements, agriculture and aquaculture and are still used today for fuel and construction. However, in the last few decades ...
A lesson from cyclone Larry: An untold story of the success of good coastal planning
(Elsevier, 2007)
When tropical cyclone Larry crossed the Queensland coast on 20 March 2006, commercial, recreational and naval vessels in the port of Cairns, 60 km north of the eye of the cyclone and others closer to the eye, were protected ...
Culture of Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man 1879) in experimental cages in a freshwater eutrophic lake at different stocking densities
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007)
Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man 1879) juveniles (0.4 g) were cultured in experimental cages (L × W × H: 2.5 × 1 × 1 m) in Laguna de Bay, the largest lake in the Philippines. The following stocking densities at four ...
Extension of nursery culture of Scylla serrata (Forsskål) juveniles in net cages and ponds
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007)
To address the preference of mud crab farmers for larger size Scylla serrata juveniles (5.0–10 g body weight or BW; 3.0–5.0 cm internal carapace width or ICW), a study was conducted to compare the growth and survival of ...
mRNA expression patterns for GH, PRL, SL, IGF-I and IGF-II during altered feeding status in rabbitfish, Siganus guttatus.
(Elsevier, 2007)
Feeding time is a major synchronizer of many physiological rhythms in many organisms. Alteration in the nutritional status, specifically fasting, also affects the secretion rhythms of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like ...
Ovarian maturation stages of the mud crab Scylla serrata
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007)
Ovarian maturation in adult wild-sourced and pond-grown Scylla serrata (Forsskål) was determined based on gross morphology and histological appearance. There were no significant differences noted in the histological features ...
