    • Cuba expands her aquaculture industry 

      Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Aquaculture Department (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978-12)
      Despite a thriving deep-sea and coastal fishery and high per capita fish consumption in Cuba, aquaculture is relatively undeveloped and will therefore be a target for future expansion following the impact of other nations' new economic zones on the fisheries. Two main areas for expansion exist: the freshwater dams and reservoirs, and the extensive mangrove belt around Cuba, which together have a potential annual production of 50 to 100 thousand tons of fish. At present, stocking programmes are concentrated on tilapia, silver carps, bigheads and grass carps, bass, and oysters; while mullets may be cultivated in brackishwater areas. Cuba has developed a particular interest in the Philippine aquaculture industry owing to the similar climatic conditions of the two countries.

    • Fish farming can help conserve mangrove 

      Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Aquaculture Department (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978-12)
      Recent breakthroughs in hatchery technology allow aquaculture developments which are not merely compatible with mangrove areas, but actually improve mangrove conservation and concurrently permit the exploitation of forestry products. This article discusses the important implications of aquaculture development in mangrove areas, and the rationale underlying site selection, project design and technology.

    • Edible crustaceans in the Philippines 

      Motoh, Hiroshi (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978-12)
      Cursory information on the biology and economic value of sugpo (Penaeus monodon ) relevant to aquaculturists is presented.

    • Freshwater fisheries expands program 

      Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Aquaculture Department (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978-12)
      The SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department Freshwater Fisheries Station, located at Binangonan, on the shores of Laguna Lake, has drafted a programme for expansion. These include the piloting of a fish feed mill and the establishment of a pilot freshwater sugpo (Penaeus monodon) cage culture. Tilapia breeding, which aims to come up with a suitable and fast-growing cross, has also been started. Other freshwater programmes touch on the development of larval rearing techniques for shrimp species, and the setting up of a model eco-community in a fishing village.

    • Increased dialogue among aquaculture R&D agencies

    • Ferrocement tank for sugpo maturation 

      Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Aquaculture Department (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978-11)
      A practical, easy, and economical method of constructing ferrocement tanks highly suitable for sugpo (Penaeus monodon) maturation has been developed. The tank incorporates a cylindrical portion and an auxiliary rectangular portion and can accommodate 80 adult prawns at a 1:1 male-to-female ratio. Design considerations are aimed at ease of use and construction. A flowthrough water supply system, plus an oxygenation and filter system, are included.

    • BFAR, SEAFDEC conduct mobile training for fishfarmers 

      Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Aquaculture Department (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978-11)
      The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources of the Philippines and SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department are proposing to undertake a mobile training program for fishermen and fish farm operators in the Philippines to be implemented immediately and covering an initial 5-year period. The program seeks to accelerate the training, in situ, of subsistence fishermen and small fish farm operators on appropriate aquaculture technologies; set up strategic demonstration projects in various regions of the country; and contribute to the national effort of increasing food production.

    • Aquaculture development plan in Ivory Coast 

      Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Aquaculture Department (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978-11)
      An aquaculture development plan has been formulated to eliminate, in the long term, protein deficiency especially in the northern part of the country. It is proposed to establish fish farms, rural fish culture in ponds, and integrated with the rearing in rice valleys, floating cages, racks, and enclosures rearing in lakes, lagoons, rivers, and mangroves. Tilapia nilotica, possibly combined with a predator (Lates niloticus or Clarias lazera), is the most promising species for culture. Brief details of the objectives and organization of the plan are presented in this article.

    • SEAFDEC nursery pond system solves prawn fry survival problems 

      Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Aquaculture Department (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978-11)
      Prawn culture has been encouraged in the Philippines as an alternative to fish (bangus), since the former provides a higher income, better nutrition, and increased employment. The Aquaculture Department has made sugpo fry (Penaeus monodon ) available to pond owners, but these hatchery-bred fry are found to be much less viable than those from natural habitats. This has prompted the launching of an improved pilot nursery pond system which enables fry to be harvested as early as P4 and P5 stages, using improvements in design and operation to solve the critically long gap between the hatchery and the grow-out pond. By this method, hatchery production has been raised by about 100 percent, and a commercial size nursery has now been established capable of accommodating 2.4 to 5 million fry per operation, or 15 to 40 million per year.

    • OI, SEAFDEC in joint R & D venture 

      Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Aquaculture Department (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978-11)
      The SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department has entered into a collaborative venture with the Oceanic Institute of Hawaii, aimed at research and development, particularly on milkfish (Chanos chanos), transfer of developed technology, and exchange of information. Each institution has a background in aquaculture research activities.

    • RP starts pilot aquaculture support system program 

      Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Aquaculture Department (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978-11)
      The Philippines has set into motion an aquaculture industry development support scheme, jointly undertaken by 4 institutions. The project model provides for two components: a macro component which covers the island of Panay, and a micro or village level component concerned with milkfish, crustacean (including sugpo, or tiger prawn), and mollusc production. Details of the proposed infrastructure, technology, field implementation and management are given.
