Changes in mRNA expression of grouper (Epinephelus coioides) growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor I in response to nutritional status
(Elsevier, 2006)
Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) are key links to nutritional condition and growth regulation in teleost. To understand the endocrine mechanism of growth regulation in grouper, we cloned the ...
Growth and agar quality of Gracilaria heteroclada (Zhang et Xia) grown in a filter tank
(College of Agriculture, University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2006)
Gracilaria heteroclada Zhang et Xia was grown in filter tanks to determine the growth, agar quality and uptake pattern of nitrogen and to observe the water quality in recirculating water system with seaweed.
Rapid uptake ...
Microsatellite–centromere mapping in the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) by half-tetrad analysis using induced triploid families
(Elsevier, 2006)
Genetic improvement of the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) can be achieved by artificially controlling its life cycle using recent advances in reproductive biology. In this study, we developed 43 microsatellite loci to ...
Price relationships in Philippine milkfish markets: Univariate and causality analysis
(International Association of Aquaculture Economics and Management (IAAEM), 2006)
Uncertainties and lack of information on milkfish product prices, along with production-related problems with inputs, generally constrain efficient resource use in milkfish grow-out operations. Milkfish growers complain ...
The coral communities of Mararison Island, Culasi, Antique, Philippines
(University of the Philippines in the Visayas, 2006)
An assessment of the extensive fringing reefs surrounding Mararison lsland, Culasi, Antique was undertaken in 1994 to 1996 and in 1998 to provide scientific basis for management and enhancement of the island s resources ...
Development and sustainability of Philippine aquaculture
(Royal Academy of Overseas Sciences, 2006)
Aquaculture plays a predominant role in the Philippines, an archipelago of 7,150 islands with 36,300 km of coastline, 26.6 million ha of coastal waters, and 250,000 ha of lakes, rivers and reservoirs over which are spread ...

Analysis of the sustainability of extensive and intensive methods in brackish water fishpond culture primarily producing shrimp in three Southeast Asian countries
(Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences, 2006)
This study is an investigation of the aquaculture methods used in brackish water fishpond culture mainly producing shrimp in the Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia. Extensive methods are practiced in the Philippines and ...

Arachidonic acid enrichment of rotifers and effects of dietary arachidonic acid on broodstock performance of rabbitfish Siganus guttatus
(Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences, 2006)
Rotifers (Brachionus sp.) were cultured with various combinations of baker’s yeast, Nannochloropsis sp., Culture selco, and DHAPS with or without supplementation of arachidonic acid (triacylglycerol form). Rotifers were ...

Detection of betanodaviruses from different organs of broodstocks and wild juveniles of orange-spotted grouper, Epinephelus coioides
(Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences, 2006)
Aquaculture of grouper including orange-spotted grouper suffers losses from viral nervous necrosis (VNN). This disease usually occurs in larval stage resulting in a high rate of mortality. It is conceivable that vertical ...

Arachidonic acid distribution in mangrove organisms in the Philippines, Malaysia and Japan
(Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences, 2006)
There has been little information on the importance of arachidonic acid (20:4n-6, ArA) in fish and other aquatic animals, although the importance of eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3, EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3, ...
