Studies on the habitat and food of juvenile milkfish in the wild
(Fisheries Research Society of the Philippines, 1981)
Juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos ) were collected from several different wild environments in Panay Island and neighboring islands. The fish were measured and the food ingested examined. Conditions of milkfish habitats ...
Increasing milkfish (Chanos chanos) yields in brackishwater ponds through increased stocking rates and supplementary feeding
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1990)
Brackishwater milkfish culture in the Philippines is normally practiced at fish stocking rates of 2,000-3,000 ha<sup>-1</sup> with fertilizers as the sole nutrient input. Supplementary feeding is not common. We stocked two ...
The milkfish fry shortage in the Philippines and supply from fisheries and hatcheries
(University of Philippines in the Visayas, 1997)
This paper reviews the history and status of the milkfish fry fishery and hatchery and examines the issue of fry shortage in some detail. The fry fishery in the Philippines is a well developed industry that uses efficient ...
Spontaneous maturation and spawning of milkfish in floating net cages
(Elsevier, 1986)
Milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) reared from wild-caught fry and from hatchery-bred fry matured at 3.5-5.5 years (2.3-4.9 kg). Maturation and spawning of the hatcherybred fish marks the first time the milkfish life-cycle ...
Weaning of hatchery-bred milkfish larvae from live food to artificial diets
(Elsevier, 1984)
Two-week old milkfish (Chanos chanos ) larvae (7.5 mm standard length, 2.3 mg wet body weight) previously fed only rotifers were weaned abruptly to six artificial diets (commercial feed TP, artificial plankton AS and BP, ...
Histological observations on the rearing of milkfish, Chanos chanos, fry using different diets
(Blackwell Publishing, 1986)
Six different diets, commonly used in the Philippines for rearing milkfish, Chanos chanos, try, were tested by means of growth, survival and histology. These diets included:
a) live food (Artemia nauplii); b) two different ...
An economic analysis of the modular pond system of milkfish production in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 1989)
In 1980, the annual yield of milkfish ponds in the Philippines was 800 kg/ha while the potential yield is estimated to be 2000 kg/ha. The modular pond system analyzed in this study can largely close the gap between actual ...
Economic assessment of commercial hatchery production of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) fry
(John Wiley and Sons, 1999)
The economic viabilities of two types of commercial hatchery milkfish (Chanos chanos) fry operations were assessed and compared. Based on the actual cost of input, the physical facilities, and the potential production ...
Observations on artificial fertilization of eggs and embryonic and larval development of milkfish, Chanos chanos (Forskal)
(Elsevier, 1978)
Hydrated eggs obtained from a female milkfish, Chanos chanos, were artificially fertilized with the milt collected from a male injected with acetone-dried pituitaries of salmon. The fertilized eggs (1.1–1.25 mm in diameter) ...
Studies on the digestive lipases of milkfish, Chanos chanos
(Elsevier, 1990)
Milkfish grown on two natural foods were examined to determine the distribution pattern of the digestive lipases along the digestive tract and to identify the optimum condition for lipase activity. One food consisted of a ...
