Enhancing nonspecific immune response of grouper, Epinephelus coioides using levamizole as immunostimulant
(University of the Philippines in the Visayas, 2008)
The use of levamisole as an alternative approach to disease prevention and control has been resorted to in aquaculture. Its immunomodulatory effect in several fish species is well documented but its effect on grouper, ...
Low isozyme variation in native and transplanted populations of the endemic Philippine silver perch, Leiopotherapon plumbeus (Kner, 1864) from three lakes in the Philippines
(College of Agriculture, University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2008)
The silver perch, Leiopotherapon plumbeus (Kner, 1864), is an endemic and economically important fish in the Philippines. A native species of Laguna de Bay, the silver perch was transplanted from this lake to Sampaloc Lake ...
Characterization of betanodaviruses in the Philippines
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2008)
Viral nervous necrosis caused by betanodaviruses is one of the most devastating diseases in cultured marine finfish. In the Philippines, mass mortalities occurred in sea bass, Lates calcarifer larvae and grouper, Epinephelus ...
Managing excess capacity in small-scale fisheries: Perspectives from stakeholders in three Southeast Asian countries
(Elsevier, 2008)
The management of fishing capacity--in both inland and marine fisheries--is a major policy concern in most countries in Southeast Asia. Excess capacity leads to a number of negative impacts, such as resource use conflicts, ...
Dehalogenase from Methylobacterium sp. HJ1 induced by the herbicide 2, 2-dichloropropionate (Dalapon)
(Academic Journals, 2008)
Heavy industrial activities and agricultural processes require consumption of many halogenated compounds, and release them continuously as pollutants into the environment. These xenobiotics show high toxicity and persistence ...
Distribution and symptoms of epiphyte infection in major carrageenophyte-producing farms
(Springer Verlag, 2008)
High density commercial farming of carrageenophyte Kappaphycus alvarezii is often plagued with “ice-ice” disease and epiphyte infection, which eventually leads to reduced production and in some cases collapse of crop. ...
Indicators of diminished organic matter degradation potential of polychaete burrows in Philippine mariculture areas
(University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2008)
Sediments from underneath fish cages and in mesocosm tanks were examined to establish indicators of diminished organic matter degradation potential of polychaete burrows from increased mariculture activities in Bolinao-Anda, ...
Diurnal feeding pattern and gut content of milkfish Chanos chanos (Forsskål, 1775) cultured semi-intensively during the wet and dry season in brackish ponds in the Philippines
(Blackwell Publishing, 2008)
To improve feeding management and reduce feed cost in semi-intensive grow-out culture of milkfish (Chanos chanos, Forsskål 1775) in brackish ponds, the relative shares of natural food (NF) and supplemental feed (SF) ingested ...
Coastal ecosystem-based management with nonlinear ecological functions and values
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2008)
A common assumption is that ecosystem services respond linearly to changes in habitat size. This assumption leads frequently to an “all or none” choice of either preserving coastal habitats of converting them to human use. ...
Biodegradition of monochloroacetic acid by a presumptive Pseudomonas sp. strain R1 bacterium isolated from Malaysian paddy (rice) field
(Asian Network for Scientific Information, 2008)
A bacterial strain tentatively identified as Pseudomonas sp. R1 was isolated from a paddy (rice) field that could degrade monochloroacetic acid (MCA) for concentrations ranging from 5 to 40 mM. Quantitative agreement between ...
