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 ...
Morphological development and survival of Philippine silver therapon larvae, Leiopotherapon plumbeus (Kner, 1864) reared under different feeding schemes
(De La Salle University, 2016)
Philippine silver therapon, Leiopotherapon plumbeus, locally known as ayungin, is an endemic fish species in the country. The demand for silver therapon remained high despite the decline of its population and commercial ...
Expressions of molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) during the molting stages of the giant mud crab, Scylla serrata
(De La Salle University, 2017)
Survival and growth of mud crabs and any other crustaceans depend on molting. Molting is influenced by several hormones, two of which are Molt-Inhibiting Hormone {MIH} and a molt promoting hormone, the Extracellular ...
Paralytic shellfish poisoning toxin accumulation in shellfishes collected from various habitats in Murcielagos Bay, Philippines during harmful algal blooms occurrence
(American-Eurasian Network for Scientific Information (AENSI), 2014)
This study aims to determine whether the habitat of bivalves plays an influence in the occurrence of tropical shellfish toxicity during toxic red tide bloom occurrences in Murcielagos Bay, Misamis Occidental, Philippines. ...
Development and characterization of nine novel microsatellite markers for the milkfish Chanos chanos
(Springer Verlag, 2015)
The milkfish, Chanos chanos, is an important aquaculture resource in Southeast Asia. Using NGS data, 72 microsatellite markers were developed. PCR product confirmation using agarose gel electrophoresis allowed the ...
Salt tolerant Nile tilapia production: Prospects in aquaculture
(Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Aquaculture (MPEDA), 2016)
In the Philippines, salt tolerant Nile tilapia strains have been developed and promoted for culture to increase tilapia production in brackishwater pond systems previously dedicated for milkfish and/or penaeid shrimp ...
Genetic assessment of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) stocks based on novel short tandem repeats for marker-aided broodstock management
(John Wiley and Sons, 2018)
Milkfish hatchery broodstock are either from on-grown wild-caught or hatchery-produced fry/juveniles. To determine if a marker-assisted management scheme can be formulated for improved milkfish hatchery production, milkfish ...
Domestication of the mud crab Scylla serrata
(Springer Verlag, 2011)
The significant decrease in wild mud crab population highlights the need to manage the resources and domesticate crabs. This paper presents the initial results of the domestication of mud crab Scylla serrata aimed at ...
Growth comparison of Asian Nile and red tilapia strains in controlled and uncontrolled farm conditions
(European Aquaculture Society, 2010)
Growth of several genetically improved Nile tilapia (GIFT or Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia, FaST or Freshwater Aquaculture Center Selected Tilapia, SEAFDEC-selected) and domesticated red tilapia (BFS or Binangonan ...
Genetic research initiatives for sustainable aquaculture production in the Philippines
(Field Science Center, Graduate School of Agricultural Science, Tohoku University, 2019-03)
The Philippines is one of several countries in Southeast Asia that has, for several decades, made steady contributions to world aquaculture production both from inland and marine waters. In recent years, fish production ...
