Relationship between diet composition and growth rate of the zoeal and mysis stages of Penaeus japonicus Bate
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)
Diets containing Chaetoceros gracilis plus Artemia nauplii artificially prepared diet, Diet-B, and two commercial feeds Tapes and mysid meals, were fed to larvae of P. japonicus. Highest survival rate was obtained when ...
Effects of crude, semipurified and purified starch of sago (Metroxylon sagu Rottb.) on the water stability of pelleted shrimp diets
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)
A study was conducted to determine the comparative effectiveness of purified, semipurified and crude starch of sago as binders for pelleted shrimp diets. The diet containing semipurified sago starch had the highest water ...

(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)
The food of Penaeus monodon collected from Makato R., from Sept 1977 to Jan 1978 is described with preliminary observations on its feeding habit and rate of foregut clearance. Feeding behaviour appears to be associated ...
Changes in length and weight of milkfish fry preserved in formalin
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)
Fry shrank immediately after they were preserved in formalin, but from the second week onwards shrinkage was almost nil. Fry in freshwater formalin solutions shrunk less than those in seawater formalin solutions. It is ...
Notes on the construction of 12 cu m ferrocement maturation tank for prawn broodstock
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)
A preliminary study on the protein requirement of Chanos chanos (Forskal) fry in a controlled environment
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)
Growth rate of fish appeared to be related to the levels of the protein in the diet up to 40%. Fish fed diets containing 50 and 60% grew slower than those fed 40%, and the optimum level appears to be 40% when fed to fry ...
Courtship and mating behavior in Penaeus monodon Fabricius
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)
An illustrated description is given of the courtship and mating behaviour of P. monodon. Courtship and mating follow three distinct phases: (1) parallel swimming of male and female from the bottom to a height of 20-40 cm ...
A preliminary study on the use of the local variety of ipil-ipil Leucaena leucocephala as a protein source for prawn feed
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)
A study was carried out to determine the effect of 10 or 20% leaves or seeds in the diet of Penaeus monodon , and the extent to which local ipil-ipil (Leucaena leucocephala ) could replace head shrimp meal. A brief description ...
An experimental assessment of the aquaculture potential of the brown mussel, Modiolus metcalfei
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)
A study was conducted at Banate Bay, Iloilo, from November 1975 to March 1976. Trials were conducted using spat collectors of four types, but no Modiolus metcalfei spat settled on any of the experimental collectors during ...
Preliminary studies on growth and survival of Penaeus japonicus postlarvae fed with Tapes and commercial formula feeds
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)
Growth and survival of P. japonicus postlarvae was studied using Tapes philippinarum and commercial formula feeds. After a 28-day feeding period, the highest survival rate of 100% was obtained in prawns receiving Diet-B, ...
