Larviculture of milkfish (Chanos chanos) in outdoor tanks
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
In the past, larviculture of milkfish depended entirely on the use of rotifers and brine shrimp nauplii and rearing trials were done under roofed facilities. Since the dietary value of live food varies according to culture ...
Review of SEAFDEC/AQD finfish seed production research
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Research on seed production of several foodfishes has been a continuing activity of SEAFDEC/AQD since 1976. Fry and juvenile production methods of these fish commodities are in various stages of advancement. For instance, ...
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 ...
Growth and survival of milkfish (Chanos chanos) larvae reared on artificial diets
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
A preliminary feeding experiment was conducted to determine growth and survival of milkfish larvae reared on various feeding regimes involving the use of artificial diets. Two larval diets (Feed A and Feed B) containing ...
Effects of different fat sources on the egg quality of grouper, Epinephelus suillus
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
The effect of different fat sources on the egg quality of grouper, Epinephelus suillus eggs was evaluated. Fish in three tanks, each containing 3 females and 1 male, were fed various types of feeds namely: trash fish ...
In vitro digestibility of locally available feedstuffs for white shrimp Penaeus indicus
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
An in vitro method of determining protein digestibility was modified for application in white shrimps. The protein digestibility of 21 locally available feedstuffs were determined. Vitamin-free casein was used as reference ...
Development of artificial diets for milkfish (Chanos chanos) larvae
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
This study aims to develop nutritionally balanced and cost-effective artificial diets for milkfish larvae. Two larval diets (Feed A and Feed B) were formulated and prepared to contain 45% protein and 10% lipid. Several ...
Successful use of cryopreserved oyster trocophores as a live first feed larval marine fish and invertebrates
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Trochophore-stage larvae of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas were cryopreserved in bulk and stored in liquid nitrogen for periods up to two years before thawing and feeding to a variety of warmwater and coldwater larval ...
A review of SEAFDEC/AQD finfish breeding research
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)
Recent progress undertaken by SEAFDEC/AQD in the development of broodstock of a variety of cultured fish in the Philippines is reviewed. Spontaneous maturation and spawning has been achieved among captive breeders of ...
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 ...
