Philippine Aquatic Wildlife Rescue and Response Manual Series: Marine Turtles
(Marine Wild Fauna Watch of the Philippines, Inc., 2014)
This manual addresses the lack of information materials on how to deal with marine turtle encounters in the Philippine seas to ensure that the proper treatment and intervention is provided. The manual also responds to the ...
Morphometric relationship of length and weight of giant tiger prawn Penaeus monodon according to life stage, sex and source
(Elsevier, 1998)
Regression analysis was performed on length–weight and length–length measurements of Penaeus monodon (n=3270 individuals) including carapace length, body length, total length and body (wet) weight of different life stages ...
Ultrastructure of the anterior intestinal epithelia of the orange-spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides larvae under different feeding regimes
(Springer Verlag, 2014)
Enterocytes of the anterior to midsection of the intestine in grouper Epinephelus coioides larvae were compared among different treatments: unfed to the point-of-no-return (PNR), fed natural food only, and co-fed natural ...
Spontaneous maturation and spawning of milkfish in floating net cages
(Elsevier, 1986)
Milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) reared from wild-caught fry and from hatchery-bred fry matured at 3.5-5.5 years (2.3-4.9 kg). Maturation and spawning of the hatcherybred fish marks the first time the milkfish life-cycle ...
Developmental stages of a microsporidian parasite of the white prawn, Penaeus merguiensis de Man 1888
(University of the Philippines, 1982)
A microsporidian parasite found to invade the ovaries of the white prawn, Penaeus merguiensis de Man, 1888, causes the whitening of the mature female gonads. Ultrastructure examination of the white ovaries reveal the ...
The morphology and life cycle of the gill monogenean (Pseudorhabdosynochus lantauensis) on orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) cultured in the Philippines
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2010)
The morphology of Pseudorhabdosynochus lantauensis is described. It is the most numerous parasite recovered from the gills of cultured orange-spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides in the Philippines and is smaller compared ...
Formalin as an alternative to trifluralin as prophylaxis against fungal infection in mud crab Scylla serrata (Forsskål) larvae
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007)
The toxicity of formalin and trifluralin to the larval stages of the mud crab Scylla serrata was compared in a static bioassay. Prophylactic doses of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 μg L<sup>−1</sup> formalin and 0.05, 0.1, ...
Induction of larval settlement and metamorphosis in the donkey-ear abalone, Haliotis asinina Linnaeus, by chemical cues
(Springer Verlag, 2004)
The effects of the chemical inducers, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and potassium chloride (KCl), on the larval settlement and metamorphosis of the donkey-ear abalone, Haliotis asinina, was investigated. H. asinina larvae ...
Effect of juvenile hormone and serotonin (5-HT) on mixis induction of the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis Muller
(Elsevier, 2000)
Juvenile hormone (JH) and serotonin (5-HT) were previously shown to enhance mictic (sexual) female production of the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis in batch cultures. To explore the basis of these effects, experiments were ...
Microsatellite–centromere mapping in the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) by half-tetrad analysis using induced triploid families
(Elsevier, 2006)
Genetic improvement of the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) can be achieved by artificially controlling its life cycle using recent advances in reproductive biology. In this study, we developed 43 microsatellite loci to ...
