(Elsevier, 2020-07-13)A recombinant giant grouper Luteinizing Hormone (LH) consisting of tethered beta and alpha subunits was produced in a yeast expression system. The giant grouper LH β-subunit was also produced and administered to rabbits ... -
Value chain analysis of the horse mussel Modiolus metcalfei (Hanley, 1843) fishery in Iloilo, Philippines
(Asian Fisheries Society, 2020-06-30)The exploitation of horse mussels Modiolus metcalfei (Hanley, 1843) in Dumangas, Iloilo has been going on for decades, yet effective fisheries management remains hindered by the poor understanding of the fishery. A value ... -
In-vitro evaluation of some commercial probiotics used in the grow-out culture of the tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon: Effect on bacterial parameters
(Research India Publications, 2007)This study was conducted to evaluate 8 commercial probiotic products being marketed for the grow-out culture of the tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon and the “SEAFDEC Indigenous Probiotic”. Bacterial parameters investigated ... -
A social network analysis of the Philippine seaweed farming industry: Unravelling the web
(Elsevier, 2020-08)Seaweed farming is a major economic endeavor among the households in the key seaweed-production areas in the Philippines because of its high profitability potential relative to farming effort. This study used Social Network ... -
Nursery culture of sandfish Holothuria scabra in sea-based floating hapa nets: Effects of initial stocking density, size grading and net replacement frequency
(Elsevier, 2020-09)Sea-based culture of early juvenile sandfish Holothuria scabra up to fingerling size (>2 g) using floating hapa nets has been confirmed as a viable nursery system in tropical countries such as the Philippines. However, ... -
Survival, growth and biomass of mud polychaete Marphysa iloiloensis (Annelida: Eunicidae) under different culture techniques
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2020-04-20)Polychaetes are commercially exploited as fishing bait and supplemental diet to crustacean and finfish broodstock. However, scarcity of supply and biosecurity issues limits its use. Polychaete aquaculture has become the ... -
Digestibility and effective level of meat and bone meal in formulated diet for milkfish, Chanos chanos Forsskal, grown in fresh and seawater
(Masyarakat Akuakultur Indonesia (MAI), 2015)The efficient level of MBM for good growth and survival of milkfish, Chanos chanos Forsskal, without histological changes in tissues (liver, intestine, muscle, kidney and brain) was determined in both freshwater (FW) and ... -
Analysis of biosecurity-related policies governing the seaweed industry of the Philippines
(Springer Verlag, 2020-03-10)The seaweed industry in the Philippines is a significant contributor to aquaculture production, both nationally and internationally. It out-produces the capture fisheries sector and most global producers, with the exception ... -
Stock enhancement of abalone, Haliotis asinina, in multi-use buffer zone of Sagay Marine Reserve in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 2020)Donkey's ear abalone (Haliotis asinina) is a gourmet seafood export of the Philippines but its wild stock is at risk due to high fishing pressure. This paper aims to show evidences that abalone seeds produced in hatcheries ... -
Point-of-no-return and delayed feeding mortalities in first-feeding larvae of the silver therapon Leiopotherapon plumbeus (Kner) (Teleostei: Terapontidae)
(Elsevier, 2020-02)This study examined the incidence of mortalities among first-feeding post-yolk sac silver therapon Leiopotherapon plumbeus (Kner) larvae deprived of live food in the hatchery. Starting after their yolk was consumed at 40 ... -
