Fisheries biology of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forskal)
Garcia, Luis Maria
(Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, South Pacific Aquaculture Development Project, 1990)
Milkfish (Chanos chanos Forskal) is one of the most important food fish species in the world. In Indonesia, Taiwan and the Philippines, more than a quarter of a million tonnes of milkfish are harvested annually in brackish ... -
Survival of larval milkfish, Chanos chanos, during changeover from endogenous to exogenous energy sources
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1990)Survival of laboratory-reared larvae of milkfish, Chanos chanos , during transition from the prelarval to postlarval stages was examined in relation to the changeover of energy sources. The prelarval and early postlarval ... -
Milkfish culture in the Philippines
(South Pacific Aquaculture Development Project, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 1990)In the Philippines, the level of intensity of Chanos chanos culture is categorized into traditional and extensive management. Pond types for different culture systems, stocking practices, acclimation practices, water ... -
Dietary manipulation to control the chronic soft-shell syndrome in tiger prawn, Penaeus monodon Fabricius.
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1990)Penaeus monodon collected from brackishwater ponds in Iloilo, Philippines, were induced to become soft-shelled in the laboratory for 3-4 weeks. Eight isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets containing 0:0; 0:1; 1:0; 1:0.2; ... -
Practical water chemistry for fishfarmers I. Teaching strategies
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1990)Years of ambitious, yet seemingly futile, efforts by the authors in the Philippines in making fishfarmers comprehend and appreciate chemical reactions the way chemists do, paved the way for the formulation of teaching ... -
A statistical procedure for using "reference fish" to compare the growth of genetic strains in aquaculture
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1990)No simple, well-accepted procedures exist for comparing the relative performance of genetic strains of fish in aquaculture environments. The major technical problem is providing adequate statistical replication of ponds ... -
Optimized feeding strategies in the larviculture of the Asian seabass Lates calcarifer.
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1990)This paper reports on the progress made at the Tigbauan hatchery of SEAFDEC in the Philippines, with the larviculture of the Asian seabass Lates calcarifer when using w3-HUFA enriched Brachionus and Artemia . In view of ... -
Use of internal reference population for growth rate comparison of tilapia strains. I. In a crowded environment
(1990)This paper reports an experimental design in which reference fish are included in each replicate to provide internal statistical control over environmental variation. Growth of 10 full-sib families from each of 3 strains ... -
Status of sanitation and marketing of mollusc in the Philippines
(Regional Seafarming Development and Demonstration Project; Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia, 1989)The mollusc industry of the Philippines has contributed to the economic development of the country in terms of food production and dollar earning. The industry has continuously provided cheap but nutritious shellfishes. ... -
Acceptability of selected zooplankton and phytoplankton for growing larvae/fry of bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis).
(Proceedings of the Asian Symposium on Freshwater Fish Culture, 11-15 October 1985, Beijing, China, 1990) -
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 ... -
Interaction of the midgut gland and the ovary in vitellogenesis and consequences for the breeding success: a comparison of unablated and ablated spawners of Penaeus monodon
; Quinitio, Emilia T.; (European Aquaculture Society, 1989)
The midgut glands and ovaries of unablated and ablated females of Penaeus monodon were examined before and after spawning by light and electron microscopy to elucidate the role of the midgut gland during vitellogenesis. ... -
Effect of feeding regimes on growth and survival of bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis Richardson) fry
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1989)Two five-week feeding trials were undertaken to evaluate growth and survival of bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis ) fry of 1.9-2.4 mg mean weight reared on various feeding regimes. In Treatment 1, the carp fry were fed ... -
Nutrition and feeds of Nile tilapia broodstock and fry
(Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development, 1989)Studies on some aspects of tilapia and feed formulation conducted at BRS are reviewed in this paper. The effect fo varying dietary crude protien on growth and spawning frequency of tilapia was determined under laboratory ... -
Economics of milkfish culture in the Philippines
(Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, South Pacific Aquaculture Development Project, 1990)This paper discusses the costs and returns of three phases in milkfish culture as practiced in the Philippines namely: nursery; stunting or retarding the growth of milkfish fingerlings; and modular culture system. The ... -
Larval rearing of Penaeus monodon: Feeds and feeding techniques
(Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development, 1989)Larval rearing of P.monodon requires mass culture of selected phytoplankton and zooplankton species. In the protozocal stage, Skelatonoma; Chaetoceros or Tetraselmis is given singly or in combination. The rotifer Brachionus ... -
Status of shrimp nutrition and feed development in Southeast Asia.
(Asian Fisheries Society. AFS Spec. Publ. 4, 1989)World demand for shrimp has increased significantly in the last decade. Of the 32 species investigated, the most commonly cultured in Southeast Asia is the Penaeus monodon . Formulated feed constituted around 50% of the ... -
Prawn nutrition, feed development and feeding techniques for grow-out and broodstock
(Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development, 1989)Knowledge on nutritional requirements of prawn juveniles and broodstock are scanty. However, relatively more information is now available with regard to requirements of juveniles compared to that of broodstock. Many ... -
An overview of the nutrition, feed and feeding techniques of prawn penaeid/shrimps
(Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development, 1989)This paper echoes what transpired during the first International Conference of Penaeid Prawns/Shrimps held in Iloilo City in December 4-7, 1984, particularly on the Nutrition nd Feed Development. Around 25 papers were ... -
Food consumption of seaperch, Lates calcarifer, in captivity.
(Pudoc, 1989)In the Philppines, feeds and constitutes some 70% of the total capital cost in aquacultural, which illustrates the central ipmortance of such inputs and at the same time justifies a major research effort to study the field ...
