Preliminary notes on the salinity preference of milkfish, Chanos chanos, fry
Share
Abstract
Vertical salinity gradient columns were used to investigate the salinity preference of milkfish fry. Newly captured fry showed a preference for 32‰ salinity. Fry which had been in captivity for one to five days, at 12 or 22‰ salinity, had no salinity preference between waters of 12, 22 or 32‰ salinity.

Effects of salinity on growth of young milkfish, Chanos chanos
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1976)Growth of young milkfish was studied at different levels of salinity over a period 68 days. Results suggested that young milkfish reared in freshwater or less saline sea water grew faster than in sea water. The increase ... -
Evaluation of fertilizer use and milkfish yields in Palawan
(Bureau of Agricultural Research, Department of Agriculture, 2007)Milkfish yields in Palawan in 1993–94 were low, only 595 kg/ha-yr on average and ranged 100–700 kg/ha-yr in 35 of 50 farms surveyed. Only seven farms had yields between 1,000 and 1,800 kg/ha-yr. Yields were higher in deeper ...
