(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 1999)
An overview is presented of the shrimp farming industry in the Philippines, noting that it was established as brackish-water aquaculture as early as 1521, although it took until the 1970s to take off, blooming during the ...
Review of recommendations from recent SEAFDEC workshops: SICCPPS and AQUACHEM
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 1999)
The Second International Conference on the Culture of Penaeid Prawns and Shrimps (SICCPPS) was convened in Iloilo City by the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) on May 14-17 1996 to bring together ...
Monosex culture of the mud crab Scylla serrata at three stocking densities with Gracilaria as crab shelter
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 1999)
The effects of three levels of stocking density (0.5, 1.5 or 3.0/m2) and monosex culture (male or female) on the growth, survival and production of Scylla serrata were investigated. Juvenile crabs were stocked in 150 m2 ...
Reproductive performance of pond-sourced Scylla serrata fed various broodstock diets
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 1999)
Feeding experiments were conducted to determine the effect of diet on reproduction of pond-sourced unablated and ablated Scylla serrrata broodstock. Broodstock were fed either natural food (T1) consisting of mussel, squid, ...
The status of seed production of grouper and other coral reef fishes in the Philippines
(Institute for Development Studies, 1999)
Initial work on seed production of grouper in the Philippines was first reported in 1986. Most of the work has been undertaken by the SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD), which concentrated on Epinephelus coioides. ...
Viewpoint on formulating policies for sustainable shrimp culture
(Rome, Italy: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 1999)
An examination is made of all the negative impacts attributed to shrimp culture, particularly to intensive culture, considering also remedial measures recommended to ameliorate their ill-effects and discussing the implications ...
Development of hatchery techniques for the mud crab Scylla serrata (Forskål): Comparison of feeding schemes
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 1999)
Scylla serrata larvae were reared in 3 L plastic containers and fed various amounts of artificial diets (AD) with or without natural food (NF: Brachionus rotundiformis and newly-hatched Artemia). The amounts of AD fed alone ...
Larval survival and megalopa production of Scylla sp. at different salinities
(Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research, 1999)
Salinity tolerance was determined for each zoeal stage of Scylla sp. Larvae from ablated pond-grown females were abruptly transferred to salinities of 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32 ppt. Spawning salinity or previous rearing ...
