Larval survival and megalopa production of Scylla sp. at different salinities
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 1999)
Salinity tolerance was determined for each zoeal stage of Scylla sp. Larvae from ablated pond-grown females were abruptly transferred to salinities of 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32 ppt. Spawning salinity or previous rearing ...

Viewpoint on formulating policies for sustainable shrimp culture
(Rome, Italy: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 1999)
An examination is made of all the negative impacts attributed to shrimp culture, particularly to intensive culture, considering also remedial measures recommended to ameliorate their ill-effects and discussing the implications ...
Monosex culture of the mud crab Scylla serrata at three stocking densities with Gracilaria as crab shelter
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 1999)
The effects of three levels of stocking density (0.5, 1.5 or 3.0/m2) and monosex culture (male or female) on the growth, survival and production of Scylla serrata were investigated. Juvenile crabs were stocked in 150 m2 ...
Reproductive performance of pond-sourced Scylla serrata fed various broodstock diets
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 1999)
Feeding experiments were conducted to determine the effect of diet on reproduction of pond-sourced unablated and ablated Scylla serrrata broodstock. Broodstock were fed either natural food (T1) consisting of mussel, squid, ...
The status of seed production of grouper and other coral reef fishes in the Philippines
(Institute for Development Studies, 1999)
Initial work on seed production of grouper in the Philippines was first reported in 1986. Most of the work has been undertaken by the SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD), which concentrated on Epinephelus coioides. ...
Sulphur amino acid requirement of juvenile Asian sea bass Lates calcarifer
(John Wiley and Sons, 1999)
The dietary requirement of juvenile Asian sea bass Lates calcarifer for total sulphur amino acids was studied. Fish (average initial weight of 2.59 plus or minus 0.08 g) were reared in twelve 500 L fibreglass tanks provided ...
Distribution pattern of shrimps and fish among Avicennia and Rhizophora microhabitats in the Pagbilao mangroves, Philippines
(Elsevier, 1999)
For sustainable management of mangrove ecosystems, there is a pressing need to increase our knowledge of fish and invertebrates associated with this system. This study sampled microhabitats (89–258 m<sup>2</sup>) ...
Survival and growth of bighead carp fry exposed to low salinities
(Kluwer, 1999)
Bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis Oshima) fry of various ages (11, 18, and 35 days post-hatch) were exposed to the low salinities encountered during the annual intrusion of seawater in Laguna Lake, Philippines. Practical ...
Test of size-specific mass selection for Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus L., cage farming in the Philippines
(John Wiley and Sons, 1999)
One generation of mass selection based on the collimation procedure (early culling of large fry) was applied on Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus L., in net cages set in Laguna de Bay, Philippines. The objective was to ...
Growth of five Asian red tilapia strains in saline environments
(Elsevier, 1999)
Growth of five Asian red tilapia strains (BFS, NIFI, FAC, PF and HL) were evaluated in brackish and seawater. Eight-week-old juveniles from the five test strains were size-matched with similarly aged Oreochromis mossambicus ...
