Economic analysis of prawn (Penaeus monodon) culture in the Philippines, II: Grow-out operations
(Asian Fisheries Society, 1996)
The dramatic fall in prawn (Penaeus monodon) prices coupled with environmental concerns has resulted in a relative stagnation of prawn grow-out operations in the Philippines. Leaders of the Philippine aquaculture sector ...
Contribution of natural food and supplemental feed to the gut content of Penaeus monodon Fabricius in a semi-intensive pond system in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 1998)
Juvenile Penaeus monodon were stocked in grow-out ponds and fed a compound diet at high rates for 19 weeks under semi-intensive conditions. At three stages of the rearing period (weeks 6, 11 and 16), the gut content of the ...
Induction of immunity and resistance to white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in shrimp Penaeus monodon (Fabricius) by synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide and bacterial DNA
(University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2012)
Shrimps like all invertebrates are believed to lack true adaptive immunity but recent evidence indicate that they can be protected against pathogenic organisms by priming their immune system with immunostimulatory substances. ...
Development of broodstock for small-scale shrimp hatchery (with particular reference to Penaeus monodon)
(South China Sea Fisheries Development and Coordinating Programme, 1982)
To be self-sufficient in spawner/larval supply, a small-scale Penaeus monodon hatchery should have the following: 1) broodstock tanks or pens depending on location and other factors; 2) pond sources of broodstock of ...
Feeding regimes in relation to reproduction and survival of ablated Penaeus monodon
(University of the Philippines at Los Baños, 1979)
Pond-reared P. monodon were stocked in four 12-cu m flowthrough maturation tanks at 25 males and 50 females per tank; females were unilaterally ablated. The combinations of feeds for the morning and afternoon rations were ...
Typical prawn diseases - causes, prevention, and treatment
(U.P. Aquaculture Society, 1988)
Diseases of prawn in ponds are caused by microorganisn like viruses, bacteria fungi and protozoans as well as factors such as nutritional deficiency, poor pond conditions and environmental pollutants. Most of these may be ...
Prawn health in aquaculture
(U.P. Aquaculture Society, 1988)
Disease management of intensively-cultured prawns requires an understanding of physiology and disease causation. Maladies result from an interaction of the prawn, disease agents and their environment. In intensive culture, ...
Fate and effects of water-borne heavy metals in Penaeus monodon
(European Aquaculture Society, 1991)
Heavy metals impair the aquaculture of shrimps and the quality of shrimp products. Some heavy metals occur in high amounts particularly in the hepatopancreas and the antennal gland (Gibson and Barker, 1979). This study was ...
Evaluation of leguminous seed meals and leaf meals as plant protein sources in diets for juvenile Penaeus indicus
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1998)
The potential of locally available legumes (white cowpea, Vigna unguiculata, and green mung-bean, Vigna radiata) and leaf meals (papaya, Carica papaya, and cassava, Manihut esculenta) in combination with defatted soybean ...
Use of immunostimulants in shrimp culture: An update
(Research Signpost, 2015)
Different approaches are used to prevent and control diseases in aquaculture. Immunostimulation is one method that is gaining popularity and is considered a promising development in aquaculture. Immunostimulants were found ...
