Improved growth performance of Gracilariopsis heteroclada via short-term nitrogen enrichment
(De Gruyter, 2015)
This study examined the effect of short-term nitrogen (N) enrichment on Gracilariopsis heteroclada growth and agar quality. Planting materials were soaked in different concentrations of ammonium chloride (NH<sub>4</sub>Cl) ...
Photosynthetic responses of ‘Neosiphonia sp. epiphyte-infected’ and healthy Kappaphycus alvarezii (Rhodophyta) to irradiance, salinity and pH variations
(Springer Verlag, 2016)
Understanding the physiological condition of seaweeds as influenced by biotic and abiotic stress is vital from the perspective of massive expansion and sustainability of seaweed-based industries. The photosynthetic responses ...
Impact of AMPEP on the growth and occurrence of epiphytic Neosiphonia infestation on two varieties of commercially cultivated Kappaphycus alvarezii grown at different depths in the Philippines
(Springer, 2011)
Two varieties of the carrageenophyte Kappaphycus alvarezii (Tungawan, TUNG; and Giant tambalang, GTAM) from Zamboanga Sibugay, Philippines were used to test the efficacy of Acadian Marine Plant Extract Powder (AMPEP) as ...
Occurrence of Polysiphonia epiphytes in Kappaphycus farms at Calaguas Is., Camarines Norte, Phillippines
(Springer Verlag, 2006)
This paper describes the occurrence of an epiphyte infestation of Kappaphycus farms in Calaguas Is. Camarines Norte, Philippines. In particular, percentage cover of ‘goose bump’-Polysiphonia and ‘ice-ice’ disease, and some ...
A preliminary summary on Kappaphycus farming and the impact of epiphytes
(Japanese Society of Phycology, 2004)
The read seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) Doty ex. P.C. Silva, commonly called "cottonii" in the processing industry, is used as raw material for the production of the hydrocolloid kappa carrageenan. Through biotechnological ...
Distribution and symptoms of epiphyte infection in major carrageenophyte-producing farms
(Springer Verlag, 2008)
High density commercial farming of carrageenophyte Kappaphycus alvarezii is often plagued with “ice-ice” disease and epiphyte infection, which eventually leads to reduced production and in some cases collapse of crop. ...
Feeding ecology of silverperch, Terapon plumbeus Kner, and the impact fish-pens in Laguna de Bay, Philippines
(Blackwell Publishing, 2000)
Aquaculture is an important factor in the fishery of Laguna de Bay in the Philippines; fish-pens and net-cages covered ≈10% of the lake surface in the late 1990s. The present study was carried out to assess the possible ...
Assimilation of aquatic macrophytes in Penaeus monodon
(Taylor & Francis, 1993)
The macrophytes Najas graminea and Ruppia maritima are common aquatic plants found in brackishwater ponds in the Philippines. The assimilation efficiencies of these plants by male and female Penaeus monodon (30-40 g wet ...
Preliminary survey of pests and diseases of eucheumatoid seaweed farms in the Philippines
(Springer, 2021-05-04)
Farmed eucheumatoids are the top aquaculture commodity in the Philippines, contributing more than 60% of total national aquaculture production by volume. Despite significant production losses observed in recent years due ...
Farm management and biosecurity measures of Eucheumatoids: Cultivars, pest and disease, risks and risk managements
(United Kingdom Research and Innovation-Global Challenge Research Fund (UKRI-GCRF), 2021-03)
This brochure was prepared and written after four years of research of the seaweed industry of the Philippines by the GlobalSeaweedSTAR Philippine Team in a layman’s language. This provides the different stakeholders of ...
