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 ...
L-ascorbyl-2-phosphate Mg as vitamin C source for juvenile Penaeus monodon
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Phosphated ascorbic acid (magnesium L-ascorbyl-2-phosphate or MAP) is a stable form of vitamin C. The suitability and growth requirement level of this derivative in practical diet was determined for juvenile Penaeus monodon. ...
The growth of a bialgal culture and its use as food for shrimp larvae
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1985)
The cultivation of the microalga Tetraselmis chuii with the protection of the extracellular products of Chlorella kessleri, grown in a bialgal culture, allows its development in outdoor tanks without special conditions of ...
Farm-made feeds: preparation, management, problems, and recommendations
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Making feeds exclusively for certain farming activities is quite common in the tropics particularly in the farming of fishes that feed low in the food chain. Feed preparation will depend on several factors such as availability ...
Effect of dietary astaxanthin and vitamin A on the reproductive performance of Penaeus monodon broodstock
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Reproductive performance of pond-reared tiger shrimp given astaxanthin (100 mg/kg diet) and Vitamin A (20,000 IU) for 61 days was assessed in a 2x2 factorial experiment in a completely randomized design. Mean gonad index ...
Feed formulation and evaluation for semi-intensive culture of fishes and shrimps in the tropics
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Semi-intensive farming systems account for about 70% of fish and crustacean aquaculture production in the tropics, employing semi-intensive feeding methods ranging from the use of low-cost pond fertilization techniques to ...
The effect of different levels of vitamins premix in the diet of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) fingerlings
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
The present study was conducted to determine the growth and survival of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) fingerlings fed diets with various levels of vitamin premix. The fingerlings (mean weight, 1.55 to 2.12 g) were ...
Effects of dietary carbohydrate, lipid and energy on the growth, feed efficiency, and tissue composition of bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) fry
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
The utilization of dietary carbohydrate and lipid as energy sources for bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) fry and various protein:energy ratios were investigated in a 2x3x3 factorial feeding experiment. Semi-purified ...
Preliminary observations on the diel feeding patterns of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (L.) in Laguna de Bay, Philippines, with the aid of the computer model MAXIMS
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center; Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development (PCAMRD), Department of Science and Technology; Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, 2001)
Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, cultured in cages in Laguna de Bay, were sampled on two occasions in 1995, each time over a 24-hour cycle. The weights of stomach content were averaged and analysed with the computer ...
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 ...
