This paper presents the nature of sea cucumber fishery in Palawan, Philippines with information on gathering practices, commonly traded species and secondary accounts on wild populations. Current issues on sea cucumber ...
Promoting responsible aquaculture for the sustainable production of soft-shell crabs
(Secretariat, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2018)
Soft-shell crabs command a high price because these could be eaten whole when cooked. Myanmar, Viet Nam, and Thailand are among the Southeast Asian countries that produce considerable quantities of soft-shell crabs mostly ...
Evolution of genome size within the genus Haliotis (Vetigastropoda: Haliotidae)
(National Shellfisheries Association, 2018)
Genome size (C-value) and the percentage of adenine and thymine nucleotides in the genome (AT content) are fundamental characteristics of every species, and very important parameters in molecular cytogenetic and phylogenic ...
Addressing gaps in the culture of pathogen-free polychaetes as feed in shrimp hatcheries
(Secretariat, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2018)
One of the factors that contribute to the success of shrimp hatchery operations is the availability of good quality broodstock diets. Polychaetes have been regarded as the best maturation diet for shrimps as they contain ...
Establishing adaptive strategies towards a climate-resilient seaweed farming: A case in Panobolon Island, Guimaras, Philippines
(Secretariat, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2018)
Seaweeds are ecologically important primary producers, competitors, and ecosystem engineers (Harley et al., 2012), support complex food webs in coastal zones, and provide habitats and food for associated organisms, from ...

(Southern Leyte State University, 2018)
In this study, a preliminary experiment was conducted to investigate the beneficial effects of an indigenous DHA-rich thraustochytrid strain, Schizochytrium sp. LEY7 as supplement for snapper fry Lutjanus sp. using a ...
Microalgal paste production of the diatom Chaetoceros calcitrans using electrolytic flocculation method at optimum culture conditions
(Springer Verlag, 2018)
The optimum culture conditions of the local strain Chaetoceros calcitrans were determined to improve biomass and reduce cost of production. Under outdoor culture conditions, higher cell density was attained when the cultures ...
Female-specific SNP markers provide insights into a WZ/ZZ sex determination system for mud crabs Scylla paramamosain, S. tranquebarica and S. serrata with a rapid method for genetic sex identification
(BMC, 2018-12)
Mud crabs, Scylla spp., are commercially important large-size marine crustaceans in the Indo-West Pacific region. As females have the higher growth rate and economic value, the production of all female stocks is extremely ...
Immunization regimen in Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer) broodfish: A practical strategy to control vertical transmission of nervous necrosis virus during seed production
(Elsevier, 2018-08)
Outbreaks of viral nervous necrosis (VNN) in Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer) at the larval stages via vertical transmission of nervous necrosis virus (NNV) from asymptomatic broodfish remain as a major deterrent during ...
Status of sea cucumber fishery and populations across sites with different levels of management in Palawan, Philippines
(Elsevier, 2018)
This study was conducted to investigate the sea cucumber fishery and compare populations between exploited and unexploited sites. Three islands were selected, the Arrecife Island as the unexploited site and the Johnson and ...
