Field guide to Philippine mangroves
(Zoological Society of London-Philippines, 2009)
Awareness of mangrove importance, particularly for coastal protection, has grown among the general public over the past several years. In turn, this has led to numerous planting initiatives by various groups. However, most ...
Microsatellite–centromere mapping in the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) by half-tetrad analysis using induced triploid families
(Elsevier, 2006)
Genetic improvement of the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) can be achieved by artificially controlling its life cycle using recent advances in reproductive biology. In this study, we developed 43 microsatellite loci to ...
Non-linearity in ecosystem services: temporal and spatial variability in coastal protection
(Ecological Society of America, 2009)
Natural processes tend to vary over time and space, as well as between species. The ecosystem services these natural processes provide are therefore also highly variable. It is often assumed that ecosystem services are ...
Respiratory vasculatures of the intertidal air-breathing eel goby, Odontamblyopus lacepedii (Gobiidae: Amblyopinae)
(Springer Verlag, 2008)
Lacking a propensity to emerge over the mud surface, the eel goby, Odontamblyopus lacepedii, survives low tide periods by continuously breathing air in burrows filled with hypoxic water. As with most marine air-breathing ...
Intertidal burrows of the air-breathing eel goby, Odontamblyopus lacepedii (Gobiidae: Amblyopinae)
(Ichthyological Society of Japan, 2008)
Odontamblyopus lacepedii inhabits burrows in mudflats and breathes air at the surface opening. Investigations of the intertidal burrows using resin casting demonstrated a highly branched burrow system. The burrows are ...
Prevalence of monodon baculovirus (MBV) in wild shrimp Penaeus monodon in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 2008)
Prevalence of monodon baculovirus (MBV) was determined using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extracts from the hepatopancreas of the wild black tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon collected from 7 ...
Growth and carrageenan quality of Kappaphycus striatum var. sacol grown at different stocking densities, duration of culture and depth
(Springer Verlag, 2008)
Kappaphycus striatum var. sacol was grown in two separate studies: (1) at two stocking densities, and (2) at four different depths, each for three different durations of culture (30, 45 and 60 days) in order to determine ...
Post-August 2006 oil spill populations of Penaeid shrimp in island and riverine mangroves in Guimaras, central Philippines
(University of the Philippines Visayas, 2009)
To evaluate the impact on biota of the release of arrow up million liters of bunker oil off Guimaras Island, Central Philippines, the penaeid shrimp populations in a protected island mangrove (Tandog) and a riverine mangrove ...
Effect of nematode Panagrellus redivivus density on growth, survival, feed consumption and carcass composition of bighead carp Aristichthys nobilis (Richardson) larvae
(Blackwell Publishing, 2004)
The study aimed to determine the optimum density of free-living nematodes in feeding bighead carp, Aristichthys nobilis, larvae. In the first experiment, carp stocked at 25 larvae L<sup>−1</sup> were fed varying levels ...
Response of the tropical abalone, Haliotis asinina, larvae on combinations of attachment cues
(Springer Verlag, 2005)
The effects of different diatom species and types of substrates in combination with 0.45 μM GABA on the metamorphosis of Haliotis asinina larvae were tested. Diatom slurry elicited the best metamorphic response followed ...
