(United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation; Japanese Man and the Biosphere National Committee; Mangrove Ecosystem Research Centre, 1997)
Philippine Mangroves have decreased from around 500,000 ha at the turn of the century to 132,000 ha in 1990. Given the varied and important socioeconomic and ecological functions of mangroves including harvest of forestry ...
Optimum stocking density and tank size for larval rearing of the grouper, Epinephelus coioides
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1997)
The effect of stocking of stocking density and tank size on early growth and survival of grouper, Epinephelus coioides (=suillus) larvae were determined. In one experiment, larvae were stocked in 500L tanks at densities ...
Protein and dry matter digestibility of feedstuffs in complete diets for Penaeus monodon
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1997)
The digestibilities of animal and plant protein sources were determined for P. monodon (30 ~ 40 g wet weight). Protein sources were incorporated in complete diets containing the indicator, chromic oxide at 1.8%. Casein, ...

The effect of habitat structure and substratum on predation of the greasyback shrimp Metapenaeus ensis (De Haan), white shrimp Penaeus merguiensis De Man and tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon Fabricius by sea bass Lates calcarifer ...
Changes in shrimp feed quality and effects on growth and survival of Penaeus monodon juveniles
(Elsevier, 1997)
Five practical shrimp diets were formulated to contain 1, 10, 20, 50, and 100 g tetraethoxypropane (TEP) kg<sup>−1</sup> diet. A diet with no added TEP served as the control. Diets were fed to Penaeus monodon (average ...
Effect of salinity on survival of Metapenaeus anchistus juveniles and subadults
(University of the Philippines in the Visayas, 1997)
Survival of Metapenaeus anchistus (De Man) juveniles and subadults at 5, 15, 25, 35 (control) and 45 ppt salinity levels was determined and compared. Salinity levels lower than 35 ppt level were prepared by diluting pure ...
