Development and characterization of nine novel microsatellite markers for the milkfish Chanos chanos
(Springer Verlag, 2015)
The milkfish, Chanos chanos, is an important aquaculture resource in Southeast Asia. Using NGS data, 72 microsatellite markers were developed. PCR product confirmation using agarose gel electrophoresis allowed the ...
Dietary soy peptide enhances thermotolerance and survival of juvenile japanese flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus
(World Aquaculture Society, 2015)
Soy peptide (SP), a soy protein enzymatic hydrolysate, contains bioactive substances that could be utilized as an immune-stimulating feed ingredient. The experiment evaluated the efficacy of dietary SP on promoting growth, ...
Seasonal gonad cycle of the climbing perch Anabas testudineus (Teleostei: Anabantidae) in a tropical wetland
(Springer Verlag, 2015)
Seasonal reproduction of the climbing perch Anabas testudineus in the Candaba wetland, Philippines, is described. Monthly specimens were collected, gonads and viscera excised, and the gonads histologically examined. Low ...
Improved growth performance of Gracilariopsis heteroclada via short-term nitrogen enrichment
(De Gruyter, 2015)
This study examined the effect of short-term nitrogen (N) enrichment on Gracilariopsis heteroclada growth and agar quality. Planting materials were soaked in different concentrations of ammonium chloride (NH<sub>4</sub>Cl) ...
Cultured Aquatic Species Information Programme - Scylla serrata (Forsskål, 1755)
(Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2015)
Total volume of 3D small patch reefs reflected in aerial photographs can predict total species richness of coral reef damselfish assemblages on a shallow back reef
(Springer Verlag, 2015)
Because fish have a high dispersal ability, an understanding coral reef fish metacommunity structure is vital for effective conservation. Coral reefs provide patchy habitat of various sizes and scales. We examined the ...
Parasites of window-pane oyster (Placuna placenta Linnaeus, 1758) from Trapiche, Oton in west central Philippines
(College of Agriculture, University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2015)
Parasitology of edible and commercially valuable window-pane oysters (Placuna placenta L.) using gross macroscopic examination and histology was conducted. To screen for the presence of parasites, wild oysters were collected ...
Metabolic rate characteristics and sediment cleaning potential of the tropical sea cucumber Holothuria scabra
(Ministry of Tropical Agricultural Research Centre, 2015)
The oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and ammonium excretion rate (AER) of a tropical sea cucumber, <i>Holothuria scabra</i>, were determined in laboratory experiments. OCR and AER exhibited a significant negative correlation ...
Low pH affects survival, growth, size distribution, and carapace quality of the postlarvae and early juveniles of the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii de Man
(Springer Verlag, 2015)
Acidification of rain water caused by air pollutants is now recognized as a serious threat to aquatic ecosystems. We examined the effects of low pH (control pH 7.5, pH 6, pH 5, pH 4) on the survival, growth, and shell ...
Partial replacement of soybean meal with fermented copra meal in milkfish (Chanos chanos, Forsskal) diet
(Bioflux, 2015)
Feeding trials were conducted to determine the optimum partial replacement level of soybean meal (SBM) with fermented copra meal (FCM). Isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets containing 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% of the locally ...
