Milkfish nutrition: A review
(Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development, 1989)
This paper reviews recent work on milkfish nutrition. Substantial progress had been made towards understanding the digestive physiology of milkfish. Major enzaymes envolved in the digestions of carbohydrates, protein and ...
Histological observations on the rearing of milkfish, Chanos chanos, fry using different diets
(Blackwell Publishing, 1986)
Six different diets, commonly used in the Philippines for rearing milkfish, Chanos chanos, try, were tested by means of growth, survival and histology. These diets included:
a) live food (Artemia nauplii); b) two different ...
The effect of various levels of protein, fat carbohydrates and energy on growth, survival and body composition of Chanos chanos fingerlings
(Center for Agricultural Publishing and Documentation, Pudoc Wageningen, 1989)
Rice and fish are staple foods in the Philipines as well as in other parts of Southeast Asia, where calorie/protin malnutrition is a serious probem. Milkfish, (Chanos chanos) is well-liked by the masses and, therefore, ti ...
The effect of dietary protein-energy levels on growth and metabolism of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal)
(Elsevier, 1988)
<ol><li>Groups of milkfish juveniles (mean weight, 2.8 g) were fed diets containing white fishmeal and gelatin with varying protein-energy to total metabolizable energy (PE:TME) ratios.</li><li>Amino acids were incorporated ...
Combinations of dietary fat sources in dry diets for Chanos chanos fingerlings
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1986)
A study was conducted to determine the effects of 1:1 ratio of several dietary fat sources added in semipurified diets at 10% level on milkfish fingerlings. Results showed that the cod liver oil + coconut oil diet promoted ...
Growth of juvenile milkfish Chanos chanos in a natural habitat
(Inter Research, 1985)
A population of juvenile milkfish, C. chanos (Forsskaal) was studied in a small mangrove lagoon in Naburut Island, central Philippines. Several size groups of milkfish occurred in the lagoon as a result of its periodic ...
Effect of different diets on the ultrastructure of hepatocytes of Chanos chanos fry (Chanidae: Teleostei): An electron microscopic and morphometric analysis
(Springer-Verlag, 1983)
The hepatocytes of milkfish fry offered different artificial diets (carbohydrate-, lipid-, protein-oriented) and live food (Artemia spp., Brachionus plicatilis) differ considerably both qualitatively and quantitatively as ...
Effects of increased stocking density and supplemental feeding on the production of milkfish fingerlings
(Fisheries Research Society of the Philippines, 1982)
Experiments were conducted in twelve 144 sq. m. brackishwater ponds at Leganes Research Station, SEAFDEC, to determine the effect of increased stocking density and supplemental feeding on milkfish fingerling production. ...
Culture experiments on the harpacticoid copepod, Tisbintra elongata Mori, and evaluation of that species as a food organism for milkfish larvae
(Faculty of Fisheries, Kagoshima University, 1980)
The mass culture of the harpacticoid copepod, Tisbintra elongata, indigenous to Panay Island were conducted, feeding them on several kinds of food materials. Salinity tolerance as physiological parameter was also examined. ...
Feed preference of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) fry given different algal species as natural feed
(Elsevier, 1986)
Acclimated milkfish fry (mean wet weight, 6.0 mg) were fed with unialgal cultures of five species of freshwater algae: Oscillatoria quadripunctulata, Chroococcus dispersus, Navicula notha, Euglena elongata and Chlorella ...
