(Seaweed Industry Association of the Philippines, 2003)
Seaweed research at the Aquaculture Department of SEAFDEC focuses mainly on 2 genera of agarophytes (Gracilaria and Gracilariopsis) and carrageenophytes (Eucheuma and Kappaphycus).
From 1988 to 1998, research works were ...
Cage culture of the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone, 1931) at different stocking densities in a shallow eutrophic lake
(Blackwell Publishing, 2009)
Postlarvae of Litopenaeus vannamei were acclimated and stocked in lake-based cages at the following stocking densities: 10, 20, 30 and 40 shrimp m<sup>−2</sup>. Another set of shrimp was stocked in concrete tanks as reference ...
Development of environment-friendly aquaculture technologies and practices
(Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences, 2002)
The significant role of aquaculture in providing food security has been recognized, not only through its contribution to food supply, but also through the promotion of economic and social well-being. Aquaculture is also ...
Establishment of method managing aquaculture environments to allow sustainable production
(Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences, 2001)
This paper briefly discusses the more important diseases in fish and shrimp culture in the Philippines. Although still at its infancy stage, recent trends in disease prevention and control are also presented.
Swollen hindgut syndrome (SHG) in hatchery-reared Penaeus monodon postlarvae
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
In the course of routine microscopic analysis of hatchery-reared Penaeus monodon postlarvae, several batches were found with hindgut abnormalities not previously described in shrimp postlarvae. The abnormality was named ...
Molecular typing and antimicrobial susceptibility of Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2008)
The aim of the present study was to use three PCR-based techniques for the analysis of genetic variability among Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains isolated from the Philippines. Seventeen strains of V. parahaemolyticus ...

(Phuket Marine Biological Center, 2000)
To relieve pressure on wild stock population, a hatchery technique for the window-pane shell, Placuna placenta Linnaeus has to be developed. A study was conducted to determine the suitable algal diet for P. placenta during ...
Supplementation of grouper (Epinephelus coioides) weaning diet with different sources of phospholipids
(European Aquaculture Society, 2001)
In a rapidly growing fish, phospholipid requirements are high due to rapid membrane development. At an early stage, larvae cannot synthesize large amounts of phospholipids for membrane development, which should therefore ...
Disease management in shrimp farming
(INFOFISH, 2002)
Shrimp monoculture systems have been beset with devastating losses due to infectious diseases and environmental deterioration. On a global scale, efforts to make shrimp culture a sustainable industry are warranted because ...
Studies on the efficacy of Sarafin® (sarafloxacin hydrochloride) on vibrios associated with vibriosis in black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon)
(Fish Health Section, Asian Fisheries Society, 2002)
In vitro activity of Sarafin® (sarafloxacin hydrochloride) was determined against 7 luminous Vibrio harveyi isolates and 3 non-luminous Vibrio species (V. parahaemolyticus, V. alginolyticus and Vibrio species) isolated ...
