A review of mangrove rehabilitation in the Philippines: successes, failures and future prospects
(Springer, 2008)
From half a million hectares at the turn of the century, Philippine mangroves have declined to only 120,000 ha while fish/shrimp culture ponds have increased to 232,000 ha. Mangrove replanting programs have thus been ...
Effects of dietary l-tryptophan on the agonistic behavior, growth and survival of juvenile mud crab Scylla serrata
(Elsevier, 2010)
The reduction of the survival of mud crab during culture has been largely attributed to aggressive encounters and cannibalism. In some crustaceans, suppressed aggression is linked to increased concentration of circulating ...
Effect of dietary protein to energy ratios on growth, survival, and body composition of juvenile Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer
(Elsevier, 1995)
The optimum protein-to-energy (P/E) ratio for juvenile sea bass (body weight, 1.34 ± 0.01 g) was determined using practical diets in a 3 × 3 factorial experiment. Three protein levels (35, 42.5 or 50%) and three lipid ...
Lysine and arginine requirements of juvenile Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer)
(Blackwell Publishing, 2001)
Two separate experiments were conducted to determine the dietary requirements of juvenile Asian sea bass Lates calcarifer Bloch for lysine and arginine. Fish (average initial weight: lysine experiment, 13.12 ± 0.12 g; ...
Reproductive performance in induced and spontaneous spawning of the mangrove red snapper, Lutjanus argentimaculatus: a potential candidate species for sustainable aquaculture
(Blackwell Publishing, 2003)
A reliable breeding technique was developed for the mangrove red snapper, <i>Lutjanus argentimaculatus</i> (Forsskal 1775), to help sustain the aquaculture of this immensely popular species in Southeast Asia. Using ...
Potential of feed pea (Pisum sativum) meal as a protein source in practical diets for milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal)
(Elsevier, 2003)
A 12-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the use of feed pea meal as a dietary protein source for juvenile milkfish. Six isonitrogenous (30% crude protein) and isocaloric (16.5 kJ/g) practical diets were formulated. ...
Feed preference of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) fry given different algal species as natural feed
(Elsevier, 1986)
Acclimated milkfish fry (mean wet weight, 6.0 mg) were fed with unialgal cultures of five species of freshwater algae: Oscillatoria quadripunctulata, Chroococcus dispersus, Navicula notha, Euglena elongata and Chlorella ...
Effects of different illumination levels on zooplankton abundance, feeding periodicity, growth and survival of the Asian sea bass, Lates calcarifer (Bloch), fry in illuminated floating nursery cages
(Elsevier, 1997)
The effects of different illumination levels on Zooplankton abundance and feeding periodicity, growth and survival of hatchery-produced Asian sea bass, Lates calcarifer, fry in illuminated floating net cages were determined ...
Influence of feeding rate and diet form on growth and survival of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry
(Elsevier, 1987)
Young Nile tilapia (12 mg mean body weight and 11 mm total length) were stocked at a density of 5 fish/l in twelve 50-l aquaria filled with 30 l of tap water. They were fed pellet crumbles containing 35% crude protein at ...
Methionine requirement of juvenile tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon Fabricius
(Elsevier, 1996)
An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to determine the dietary requirement of postlarval Penaeus monodon for the sulfur-containing amino acid methionine. Shrimp postlarvae (mean weight 21 ± 0.3 mg) were reared in 40-1 ...
