Sulfide-hemoglobin interactions in the sulfide-tolerant salt marsh resident, the California killifish Fundulus parvipinnis
(Springer-Verlag, 1992)
Sulfide can potentially damage hemoglobin or be detoxified by hemoglobin. In the sulfide-tolerant California killifish neither seems to be the case at environmentally realistic (micromolar) and physiologically relevant ...

Prawn/shrimp culture industry in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 1992)
The Philippines is an archipelago of more than 7,100 islands with 17,460 km of coastline, including mangrove forests which covered about 450,000 ha in the 1920s. Coastal aquaculture began a few centuries ago when earthen ...
Hormonal changes accompanying sexual maturation in captive milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal)
(Springer Verlag, 1992)
Steroid hormone profiles accompanying sexual maturation in captive milkfish are described. There were no significant differences in levels of serum estradiol 17-β (E<sub>2</sub>) and testosterone (T) between immature male ...
Mangrove conversion and brackishwater pond culture in the Philippines
(Asian Wetland Bureau; Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau, 1992)
Around 50% of mangrove loss in the Philippines can be traced to brackishwater pond construction. The decrease in mangroves from 450 000 ha in 1920 to 132 500 ha in 1990 has been accompanied by expansion of culture ponds ...
Pond culture of mud crab (Scylla serrata): an economic analysis.
(1992)
The study compares the profitability of mud crab pond culture with existing crab fattening practices in Iloilo, Philippines.
Monoculture of Scylla serrata at stocking densities of 5,000, 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000 pcs/ha ...
Market survey of snappers (Genus Lutjanus) from Panay and Palawan waters
(Science and Technology Information Institute, 1992)
Thirteen species of snappers (genus Lutjanus) were identified and sourced for location of capture from surveys conducted at the Iloilo Fishing Port and Central Market. They were Lutjanus argentimaculatus,Lutjanus boutton, ...
Sulfide as an environmental factor and toxicant: Tolerance and adaptations in aquatic organisms
(Elsevier, 1992)
This review brings together a large number of independent and seemingly unrelated studies in various disciplines under four major topics: (1) sulfide as an environmental factor in aquatic habitats; (2) sulfide as a toxicant; ...
The use of chemotherapeutic agents in aquaculture in the Philippines
(Asian Fisheries Society, Fish Health Section, 1992)
Chemotherapeutants are widely used to treat diseases of fish, specifically shrimp and aquarium fishes in the Philippines. The most commonly treated diseases are luminous vibriosis, filamentous bacterial disease, shell ...
Toxicity of rotenone to milkfish, Chanos chanos, and tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus
(Asian Fisheries Society, Fish Health Section, 1992)
Milkfish (Chanos canos) and tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) were exposed to varying concentrations of rotenone (95-98% active ingredient) to determine the median lethal concentration (LC<sup>50</sup>). The 1, 6, 12, 24, ...
Metabolism of cysteine to taurine by rat hepatocytes.
(Plenum Press, 1992)
During the past two decades, many investigators have assumed that the major locus of regulation of cysteine catabolism is the partitioning of cysteinesulfinate between its decarboxylation and transamination pathways. Hepatic ...
