Screening of inexpensive and indigeneous ingredients for use in practical feed for juvile sea bass (Lates calcarifer Bloch)
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
An eight-week feeding experiment with juvenile sea bass (about 15 g) was conducted in 500-1 fiberglass tanks to screen the most cost-effective practical diet for use in ponds and floating cages. Eleven formulations and one ...
Feed quality problems and management strategies
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Feed is the single most important input in increasing aquaculture production and profits. Success or failure in augmenting yield with feeding depends, to a large extent, on the quality of the diet. Feed quality, generally ...
Effect of a diet lacking in vitamin and mineral supplements on the growth and survival of Penaeus monodon juveniles in a modified extensive culture system
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Penaeus monodon juveniles (mean weight, 0.006 g) were reared in 330 m earthen ponds for 120 days at a stocking density of 7.5/m2 under conditions of the modified extensive system of culturing shrimps. The shrimps were fed ...
Nutritional requirements of commercially important shrimps in the tropics
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
The culture of tropical shrimps has gained greater economic importance particularly among Southeast Asian countries. As shrimp fanning moves from low-input, low-technology operation to the intensive and even highly intensive ...
Reproductive performance of captive Penaeus monodon fed various sources of carotenoids
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Three groups of pond-reared Penaeus monodon broodstock were fed formulated diet in combination with carotenoid-containing natural food: mussel + shrimp broodstock pellet (MBP), crab + BP (CBP), and Artemia + BP (ABP). After ...
Weaning of the Asian catfish, Clarias macrocephalus Gunther, larvae to formulated dry diet
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Two feeding trials lasting 10 days each were conducted to determine the weaning time in the Asian catfish, Clarias macrocephalus, larvae to dry diet feeding. Three-day-old catfish larvae were fed newly-hatched Artemia ...
Use of the golden apple snail, cassava, and maize as feeds for the tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon in ponds
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Penaeus monodon stocked in ponds at 8,000/ha were fed four types of farm-made feeds starting on day 16 of a 4-month culture period. The feeds were golden apple snail alone or in combination with cooked cassava or maize, ...
Evaluation of local ingredients (fish, shrimps, snail, copra, leaf meals and rice bran) for feeding Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Seven experimental diets using locally available ingredients (various combinations of fish, shrimp, snail, copra, leaf meals and rice bran) were tested in Nile tilapia kept in 2-1 aquaria measuring 30 cm x 75 cm x 30 cm ...
Future considerations in fish nutrition research
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Considerable progress has been made In the field of fish nutrition during the past two decades. Nutritional data for some species such as trout, salmon, channel catfish, and common carp are well established and efficient ...
Farming of all-male java tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) at two stocking densities in cages in a brackishwater pond
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
A study was conducted to determine the growth, survival, and yield of allmale Oreochromis mossambicus in cages at two stocking densities: 50 fish/m2 (Treatment I) and 100 fish/m2 (Treatment II) in a brackishwater pond. The ...
