A simple method of tagging prawns
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
The recognition of individual animals is crucial to many aspects of research. Prawns (Penaeus monodon) present unique difficulties in this respect since they molt regularly. Thus, almost all tagging and marking methods ...
The propagation of the mud crab Scylla serrata (F.) de Haan
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
The mud crab Scylla serrata is an important commercial species found in many brackish areas in the Philippines. During spawning and hatching, the berried females migrate to the sea. Seeds for pond stocking are obtained ...
Organic pollution in culture water resulting from excess feed and metabolite buildup
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
Penaeus monodon postlarvae were subjected to increasing feed concentrations and their growth and survival rates were recorded. Measurements were made of dissolved organic matter, and ammonia and nitrite-nitrogen concentrations. ...
The biology and control of Caligus sp., an ectoparasite of the adult milkfish Chanos chanos Forskal
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
One unidentified species of copepod belonging to the genus Caligus of the family Caligidae was found to infest the adult milkfish broodstock. To control the parasites infesting the adult milkfish, tests were made using the ...
Effect of feeding rate on the survival and growth of milkfish (Chanos chanos) fry in a controlled environment
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)
The optimum daily feed allowance varies with species, age, size, frequency of feeding, culture procedures, quality of feed and water quality. This experiment indicated that with a diet containing 40% protein and 3,450 kcal ...
The use of decapsulated brine shrimp eggs as food for shrimp larvae
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1978)
Decapsulated cysts of Artemia salina were experimentally fed to the larvae of Penaeus monodon, Metapenaeus ensis, M. endeavouri and Macrobrachium rosenbergii and were found to be comparable to freshly hatched brine shrimp nauplii.
Bacteria from seawater used in Penaeus monodon larval cultures
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
Bacteria in the seawater used in P. monodon hatchery operations were isolated on Bachmann's agar. The total plate counts in 25 isolations ranged from 1.0 - 5.0 x 10<sup>2</sup> to 5.1 -10.0 x 10<sup>5</sup> cells per ml. ...
Reduction in Chaetoceros populations by furanace
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
One of the most promising prophylactic agents being tested to control Penaeus monodon larval diseases is furanace (6-hydroxymethyl-2 2(5-nitro-2-furyl) vinyl pyridine). To evaluate further its suitability as a chemotherapeutic ...
First annual report of the Aquaculture Department of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1973
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1974)
An illustrated account is presented, covering background (establishment of the department), plan of operation (functions; activities), project site development (Leganes Station, Tigbauan Station, construction of buildings, ...
