Survey on the use of natural food and supplemental feed in commercial milkfish farms on Panay, Philippines
(Stuttgart University, 2000)
This study evaluated the feed intake of the milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskål) in commercial brackishwater ponds under different management regimes. Feed intake and growth were compared between a rather intensive culture ...
Milkfish (Chanos chanos) fingerling production in freshwater ponds with the use of natural and artificial feeds
Milkfish fry were reared to fingerling size in freshwater ponds. For the first experiment, fish were fed the blue-green algae Oscillatoria inoculated and grown in the ponds, Oscillatoria supplemented with a fishmeal-based ...
Historical and current trends in milkfish farming in the Philippines
(Academic Press, 1998)
This chapter focuses on the historical and current practices of milkfish farming in the Philippines. The Philippines ranks among the top 12 largest fish producers in the world and the milkfish, Chanos chanos, is the official ...
The length-weight relationship, food habits and condition factor of wild juvenile milkfish in Sri Lanka
(Elsevier, 1986)
Wild juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos) were obtained from Negombo lagoon in September 1984. Thirty-one specimens (92–186 mm FL) had a fork length-body weight relationship of log W = −5.6083 + 3.2598 log L. These fish were ...
Microbound larval feed as supplement to live food for milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) larvae
(European Aquaculture Society, 1991)
Highly variable results using Brachionus as food for milkfish (Chanos chanos) larvae may be related to: (1) relatively low content of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs) in Brachionus and (2) inability of first feeding ...
Survival and growth of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) larvae reared on larval feeds as supplement to live food
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1994)
Studies on the digestive lipases of milkfish, Chanos chanos
(Elsevier, 1990)
Milkfish grown on two natural foods were examined to determine the distribution pattern of the digestive lipases along the digestive tract and to identify the optimum condition for lipase activity. One food consisted of a ...
Biological evaluation of frozen zooplankton as food for milkfish (Chanos chanos) fry
(Verlag Paul Parey, 1991)
Milkfish fry with an average standard length and weight of 13.88 mm and 3.95 mg, respectively, were reared for 30 days using live and frozen Moina macrocopa and Brachionus plicatilis at feeding densities of 10–20 individuals ...
Histopathology of chlorella-feeding in larval milkfish, Chanos chanos
(1986)
Unicellular algae, particularly Chlorella, are widely used as starter feeds for marine finfish larvae. However, milk fish larvae when reared on Chlorella sp., suffered morality up to 100% within the first days of feeding ...
The effect of tank color and rotifer density on rotifer ingestion, growth and survival of milkfish (Chanos chanos) larvae
(San Carlos Publications, University of San Carlos, 1995)
The effect of tank color on rotifer ingestion, early growth and survival of milkfish larvae was assessed. The larvae were stocked at 30/L in 200-L fiberglass tanks coated black or unpainted (tan). Larvae were fed rotifers ...
