Basis for a blue revolution?
(International Development Research Centre, 1979)In 1977, scientists at the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Centre (SEAFDEC) in the Philippines became the first anywhere to succeed in breeding milkfish (Chanos chanos) in captivity. The advance was made possible by ... -
Viral diseases of shrimp in the Philippines
(Research Signpost, 2015)Shrimp is a high-value commodity and one of the major aquaculture species in the world, including the Philippines. The shrimp farming industry is dominated by the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon and the Pacific white ... -
Studies on the use of copepods in the semi-intensive seed production of grouper Epinephelus coioides
(Blackwell Publishing, 2005)Previous studies by the authors have shown the feasibility of using copepods in the semi-intensive seed production of grouper Epinephelus coioides. Early-stage E. coioides larvae preferred to ingest copepod nauplii over ... -
Luminous Vibrio and the greenwater culture of the tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon with tilapia
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2017)Luminous vibriosis is a devastating infection of penaeid shrimp larvae and juveniles causing heavy mortalities. To counter the bacterial pathogen, Vibrio harveyi, shrimp farmers in the Philippines modified their growout ... -
Arachidonic acid is a major fatty acid in gonads of coral reef fishes and improves larval survival of rabbitfish Sigunus gutattus
(Nova Science Publishers, 2016)The supply of wild fry of coral reef fishes for aquaculture has resulted in the deterioration of their natural stock status, causing public concern. Through a series of studies on the establishment of artificial-fry ... -
Important diseases of Penaeid shrimps
(National Taiwan Ocean University; The Fisheries Society of Taiwan; Asian Fisheries Society; World Aquaculture Society, 2016)In tropical Asia, the two main species of penaeid shrimps that are widely cultured are the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) and the Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei). The former species is indigenous ... -
Use of immunostimulants in shrimp culture: An update
; Amar, Edgar C.
(Research Signpost, 2015)
Different approaches are used to prevent and control diseases in aquaculture. Immunostimulation is one method that is gaining popularity and is considered a promising development in aquaculture. Immunostimulants were found ... -
Sustainable milkfish production in marine fish cages through strong government support and effective public-private partnerships: a case study from Panabo City Mariculture Park in Davao del Norte, Philippines
(FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, 2016)This case study presents the successful practice of sustainable intensification of milkfish aquaculture in marine fish cages under semi-intensive grow-out conditions in the Panabo City Mariculture Park (PCMP) in Davao del ... -
Fish behaviour and aquaculture
; Bagarinao, Teodora; (John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2015)
Research in the application of fundamental concepts of fish behaviour to aquaculture has intensified recently and this chapter further elucidates fish sensory systems and functions and their involvement in the success or ... -

Development of formulated feeds for grow-out culture of grouper (Epinephelus coioides) - tank and field studies
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 2004)The objectives of this study were to compare the performance of a Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Centre (SEAFDEC) formulated diet with a commercial feed for growout culture of grouper and to transfer technology on ... -

Replacement of fish meal by animal by-product meals in a practical diet for growout culture of grouper (Epinephelus coioides)
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 2004)This study was conducted to develop compounded feeds having a low content of fish meal for juvenile grouper and as an alternative to trash fish feeding. Epinephelus coioides juveniles were stocked in 36 units of 250-litre ... -
Evaluation of some terrestrial proteins in complete diets for grouper (Epinephelus coioides) juveniles
; ; Mamauag, Roger Edward (Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 2004)
This study was undertaken to determine the nutritive value of some of the more widely available protein sources in the diets for grouper juveniles, based on apparent digestibility coefficients for dry matter (ADMD) and ... -

Apparent digestibility of selected feed ingredients in diets for grouper (Epinephelus coioides) juveniles
; ; Mamauag, Roger Edward (Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 2004)
This study was conducted to determine the quality of selected feed ingredients as protein sources in grouper diets, based on their nutrient composition and apparent digestibility coefficients for dry matter (ADMD) and crude ... -

Studies on semi-intensive seed production of grouper (Epinephelus coioides)
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 2004)This study was conducted to improve the hatchery survival of Epinephelus coioides by verifying and incorporating laboratory-scale experimental results to a hatchery-scale operation. Nine units of 200 m2 ... -

Amino and fatty acid profiles of wild-sourced grouper (Epinephelus coioides) broodstock and larvae
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 2004)This study was undertaken to provide information on the levels of amino acids in the muscle, liver and gonad of wild-sourced broodstock and larvae, as well as in neurula eggs and day 35 larvae from a hatchery. The fatty ... -
