On-farm feed management practices for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in the Philippines
(Food and Agriculture Organization, 2013)
The contribution of the Philippines to tilapia production in Asia has increased steadily in the past five years as it addresses hunger and poverty alleviation in the region. Commercial tilapia aquaculture in the Philippines ...
Milkfish (Chanos chanos) fingerling production in freshwater ponds with the use of natural and artificial feeds
Milkfish fry were reared to fingerling size in freshwater ponds. For the first experiment, fish were fed the blue-green algae Oscillatoria inoculated and grown in the ponds, Oscillatoria supplemented with a fishmeal-based ...
Production of hatchery-bred early juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos) in nursery ponds through supplemental feeding
Hatchery-bred early juvenile Milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskål, 1755) (average weight of 0.45 g) were stocked in a 500 m<sup>2</sup> nursery pond at a density of 16 juveniles/m<sup>2</sup> during the dry months (March-May). ...
Nutrition
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1988)
A discussion is presented on dietary requirements of Penaeus monodon during culture operations. Food and feeding habits are described and nutrient requirements detailed, examining proteins and amino acids, lipids and fatty ...
Survival and growth of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) larvae reared on larval feeds as supplement to live food
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1994)
The effects of artificial diets on fry production and growth of Oreochromis niloticus breeders
(Elsevier, 1985)
Tilapia breeders were fed with pelleted supplemental diets containing 20 or 40% crude protein at a daily feeding rate of 1% of fish biomass for 24 weeks in cages and tanks. Breeders were weighed and fry were collected at ...
Increasing milkfish (Chanos chanos) yields in brackishwater ponds through increased stocking rates and supplementary feeding
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1990)
Brackishwater milkfish culture in the Philippines is normally practiced at fish stocking rates of 2,000-3,000 ha<sup>-1</sup> with fertilizers as the sole nutrient input. Supplementary feeding is not common. We stocked two ...
Milkfish nutrition: A review
(Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development, 1989)
This paper reviews recent work on milkfish nutrition. Substantial progress had been made towards understanding the digestive physiology of milkfish. Major enzaymes envolved in the digestions of carbohydrates, protein and ...
Acetes as prime food for Penaeus monodon larvae
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1986)
This paper presents research attempts to develop a suitable artificial diet for shrimp larvae with locally-available materials. Larval rearing experiments using finely ground Acetes tissues conducted under various climatic ...
Status of shrimp nutrition and feed development in Southeast Asia.
(Asian Fisheries Society. AFS Spec. Publ. 4, 1989)
World demand for shrimp has increased significantly in the last decade. Of the 32 species investigated, the most commonly cultured in Southeast Asia is the Penaeus monodon . Formulated feed constituted around 50% of the ...
