Lebata-Ramos, Ma. Junemie Hazel; ; Sibonga, Rema ; ; ; (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
Mangroves are known as important nurseries for different species of fish and shellfish. In the Philippines, mud crabs Scylla spp. are among the most valuable crustaceans harvested from the mangroves and are considered a ... -
Handling, storage and transport conditions of mud crabs in trading centers
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)This study aims to improve the handling, storage and transport conditions of mud crabs. The usual practice of the crab growers in the Philippines is to bring the market size crabs to middlemen, brokers or operators of small ... -
Development of protocol for the production of hatchery-reared mud crab Scylla serrata juveniles for soft-shell crab farming
Quinitio, Emilia T.; ; (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
Development of economically viable techniques for growing hatchery-reared juvenile crabs to suitable sizes will address the problem on the source of seed stocks for soft-shell crab farming. This paper reports the production ... -
Defects in the handling, storage and transport of mud crab
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)Consumers prefer to buy live mud crabs (Scylla). Moribund and dead crabs have very low market value. Immediately after harvest, the crabs are tied to render their claws immobile. The time between harvest and arrival of ... -
Development of immunostimulant for mud crab, Scylla serrata
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)Non-specific immune activitation is considered a potential prophylactic approach in the prevention of disease outbreaks in crustacean aquaculture. The present investigation evaluates the dietary supplementation of bacterial ... -

Mandario, Mary Anne; ; (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
Marphysa mossambica is commonly found in brackishwater ponds and is an important natural food for cultured stocks particularly mud crabs. To understand the burrowing activity of polychaete, survival and capacity to ... -
Growth, survival, proximate and fatty acid composition of sandworm Perinereis quatrefagesi (Grube, 1878) fed variable feed types
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)Sandworm Perinereis quatrefagesi has been used as feed for crustacean broodstock due to its reproductive-enhancing properties particularly protein and highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs). Juvenile sandworms collected ... -
Private sectors perspectives: Problems and constraints of the mud crab grow-out industry
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)Mud crab aquaculture industry in the province of Capiz received much attention after production constraints due to diseases were encountered by the prawn industry.
