Maturation and induced spawning of the mangrove red snapper (Lutjanus argentimaculatus) reared in a floating net cage in the Philippines

นามธรรม
Wild-caught mangrove red snapper (Lutjanus argentimaculatus) were reared in a floating net cage at SEAFDEC/AQD's Igang Marine Substation at Guimaras Island, Central Philippines. In 1993, monthly samplings and induced spawning trials were conducted as part of a project on seed production. Gonadal development began in February for males and April for females, reached a peak in September and declined in December. Males and females had ripe gonads for up to 5-6 consecutive months. Spawning occurred in the evening (2000 to 2300 hours), 32-36 hours after a single intramuscular injection of 1,500 IU human chorionic gonadotropin kg-1 body weight (BW). About 0.53-2.14 million eggs were collected per female (2.5-4.4 kg BW) with fertilization rates of 21-97% and hatching rates of 42-80% resulting in 30-85% normal larvae (straight and without deformities). The results strongly suggest the feasibility of breeding mangrove red snapper in floating net cages.

How important are snappers?

Aquaculture in Malaysia
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1995)Aquaculture in Malaysia is experiencing rapid growth. Total production in 1992 amounted to 79,699 tons valued at RM 207.4 million. These figures are 23% and 25% higher than the previous year's. Semi-culture of the cockle Anadara granosa was still predominant, contributing about 70% of the total output. Culture and production of the oyster Crassostrea iredalei is still insignificant. Sea bass Lates calcarifer constituted over 80% of the production from marine cages. Cage culture of grouper Epinephelus sp., snapper Lutjanus sp. and pompano Trachinotus blochii were also done in much smaller scale. The mangrove snapper Lutjanus argentimaculatus was recently spawned in captivity and larvae and juveniles were produced. In 1992, the tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon constituted about 87% of brackishwater pond production. Pond culture of the white shrimp P. merguiensis and the mudcrab Scylla sp. is at the experimental stage. Red tilapia hybrid was the major freshwater species cultured in cages, with 1,486 tons harvested in 1992. Freshwater pond production was valued at RM 100.85 million, 22% of which was due to the eel Anguilla japonica. Production of freshwater ornamental fishes is also becoming significant. Other exotic species recently bred and cultured are the African catfish Clarias gariepinus and the pacu Piaractus brachypomus. The indigenous freshwater catfish Mystus nemurus and carp Probarbus julleini have recently been bred in captivity and cultured experimentally. Lately, there have been attempts to culture non-conventional species such as the bullfrog Rana catesbeiana, the soft-shell turtle Trionyx sinensis, and aquatic ornamental plants. -
Culture of grouper, sea bass and red snapper
(University of the Philippines Aquaculture Society, Inc., 2001)Marine fish production has increased dramatically in the past ten years and majority of the cultured species were produced in Asia in 1992. Increase in production was accompanied with concerns on increasing outbreak of disease, degradation of environment as a consequence of culture practices, and the alleged shortage of seed supply and feeds. This paper reviews the state of the art of the culture of grouper, sea bass and red snapper.
