The occurrence of milkfish Chanos chanos fry in Pandan Bay, Antique, from 21 May to 25 June, 1975
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1976)Milkfish fry were collected at the Pandan shoreline and 500 meters offshore. While shore-caught fry were uniform in size those captured offshore varied in size and stage of development. -
Physiological functions of the epibranchial organ of milkfish from the point of its ontogeny
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1976)The epibranchial organ of milkfish was believed for long to be a respiratory organ similar to that in Anabantoids. Later on, the structure was considered to be an accessory to the digestive system. The observations made ... -
Preliminary observation on the number of vertebra in milkfish, Chanos chanos (Forskal)
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1976)The existence of races and/or subpopulation in milkfish, a widely distributed species, is suggested by many workers. Comparison of mean numbers of vertebrae is one of the useful method of distinguishing subpopulations. The ... -
Qualitative analysis of the contents of the anterior portion of the oesophagus from adult milkfish, Chanos chanos, captured in Pandan Bay from 10 May-June 1975
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1976)Qualitative analysis of food items in the anterior spiral portion of the oesophagus suggests that adult milkfish feed on both benthic and planktonic materials. -
Spawning of milkfish, Chanos chanos, in captivity
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1976)Newly captured milkfish released 0.8 mm in diameter non-hydrated eggs spontaneously in captivity. After injection with partially purified salmon gonadotropin (SG-G100), 1.2 mm in diameter hydrated eggs were released. These ... -

(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1976)This account is a brief review of the investigation carried out in India on the various aspects of the biology of the milkfish. It covers the records of observations on the distribution of Chanos fry in the coastal areas, ... -
Occurrence of milkfish eggs in the adjacent waters of Panay Island, Philippines
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1976)Location of spawning grounds of milkfish is one of the most important steps towards gaining knowledge on the spawning habits of the fish as well as the early life history and nature of its eggs and larvae. The present study ... -
Notes on food and feeding habits of milkfish (Chanos chanos) from the sea
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1976)Study on the natural food of adult milkfish was made from specimens caught from the open sea.
