Yolk resorption, onset of feeding and survival potential of larvae of three tropical marine fish species reared in the hatchery
(Springer Verlag, 1986)
This paper provides basic early life-history information on milkfish (Chanos chanos), seabass (Lates calcarifer) and rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus) which may explain in part the observed differences in their survival ...
Impact of fishpond management on the mangrove ecosystem in the Philippines
(Natural Resources Management Center and National Mangrove Committee, Ministry of Natural Resources, 1986)
Fishpond development in the Philippines is discussed, examining resulting impacts on the mangrove ecosystems. Socio-economical implications and management measures are also considered.
Egg size and larval size among teleosts: implications to survival potential
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1986)
A survey of the early life history characteristics of 135 teleost fishes from freshwater, marine, tropical, temperate and boreal habitats show the influence of egg size and larval size on survival potential. Marine species ...
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 ...
The larval and juvenile fish community in Pandan Bay, Panay Island, Philippines
(Ichthyological Society of Japan, 1986)
Long-term (1975-1977) collections of larval and juvelnile fish were made from 1) onshore, a sandy beach flanked by a coral terrace and a river mouth, and 2) 500m offshore in 30 m deep water in Pandan Bay. About 70 species ...
Studies on the habitat and food of juvenile milkfish in the wild
(Fisheries Research Society of the Philippines, 1981)
Juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos ) were collected from several different wild environments in Panay Island and neighboring islands. The fish were measured and the food ingested examined. Conditions of milkfish habitats ...
Weaning of hatchery-bred milkfish larvae from live food to artificial diets
(Elsevier, 1984)
Two-week old milkfish (Chanos chanos ) larvae (7.5 mm standard length, 2.3 mg wet body weight) previously fed only rotifers were weaned abruptly to six artificial diets (commercial feed TP, artificial plankton AS and BP, ...
Feeding habits of larval rabbitfish, Siganus guttatus in the laboratory
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1986)
The feeding habits of Siganus guttatus larvae were determined in laboratory rearing studies at 23.8-30.3 degree C by examination of digestive tract contents of larvae given rotifers and/or brine shrimp. Larvae were initially ...
A fundamental study on the behavior of milkfish fry for improving the efficiency of traditional fry collecting gear in the Philippines
(Kagoshima University Research Center for the South Pacific, 1980)
The reaction of milkfish fry to miving and stationary nets of different meshes and colors in an experimental tank was determined. The underwater visibility of the nets saw measured and the water filtration in a fry-sweeper ...
Occurrence and distribution of milkfish larvae, Chanos chanos off the western coast of Panay Island, Philippines
(Springer Verlag, 1987)
The occurence and distribution of milkfish larvae (∼3–17 mm TL) off western Panay Island, Philippines are reported based on 594 plankton net tows made in April and May 1980. Forty-two tows yielded 44 larvae, together with ...
