Ration reduction, integrated multitrophic aquaculture (milkfish-seaweed-sea cucumber) and value-added products to improve incomes and reduce the ecological footprint of milkfish culture in the Philippines
(AquaFish Collaborative Research Support Program, Oregon State University, 2012)
In the Philippines, cage culture of milkfish in marine environments is increasing. The practice uses high stocking densities, with significantly greater inputs of artificial feeds which more often than not, have led to ...

Co-culture trials of sandfish Holothuria scabra and black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon in mangroves
(Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences, 2012)
To address its mandate to develop environment-friendly culture techniques, the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD) is trying to establish a culture system in mangroves for ...

The relationship between nutritional stress and digestive enzyme activities in sea cucumber Holothuria scabra
(Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences, 2012)
The sea cucumber Holothuria scabra (sandfish) was studied to determine what digestive enzymes are present, to perform a basic characterization of their activity, and to attempt to correlate enzyme activity with nutritional ...

Utilization of organic waste from black tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon, by sandfish, Holothuria scabra
(Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences, 2012)
In Southeast Asian countries, a large proportion of shrimp aquaculture has switched its target species from native black tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon, to exotic P. vannamei because of frequent viral disease outbreaks. One ...

Overview of sea cucumber aquaculture and sea-ranching research in the South-East Asian region
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 2012)
South-East Asia has traditionally been the global centre of production of tropical sea cucumbers for Chinese markets. Early research into culture methods took place outside this region, notably in India, the Pacific region ...

Ability of sandfish (Holothuria scabra) to utilise organic matter in black tiger shrimp ponds
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 2012)
Due to frequent viral disease outbreaks, a large proportion of shrimp aquaculture in South-East Asian countries has switched from black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) to P. vannamei, an exotic species originally imported ...

Evaluation of nutritional condition of juvenile sandfish (Holothuria scabra)
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 2012)
It is important to accurately evaluate the wellbeing or nutritional condition of organisms when monitoring the wild stock conditions and improvement in aquaculture techniques; however, reliable nutritional condition indexes ...
Size measurement and nutritional condition evaluation methods in sandfish (Holothuria scabra Jaeger)
(Wiley, 2012)
The aims of this study were to establish an accurate size measurement method and a nutritional condition evaluation method of Holothuria scabra (Jaeger). Although 0.5% KCl and 0.05% MgSO<sub>4</sub> did not induce anaesthesia, ...
