      Cannibalism has been recognized as one of the major problems in crab culture. The use of dietary tryptophan (TRP) that has been reported to reduce cannibalism in crabs under laboratory conditions was verified in pond nursery ...
    • Nursery culture of mud crab Scylla serrata using different feeding rates 

      Alava, Veronica R.; Sumile, Jony D.; Parado-Estepa, Fe D. (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
      The effect of different feeding rates on the production and profitability of Phases 1 and 2 (3-week each) nursery culture of hatchery-produced crab Scylla serrata was determined. Minced mussel meat and formulated diet (at ...
    • Nursery culture of mud crab, Scylla serrata, using different ratios of natural food to formulated feed 

      Alava, Veronica R.; Sumile, Jony D.; Parado-Estepa, Fe D. (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2017)
      The effect of feeding different ratios of natural food to formulated feed on the production and profitability of Phases 1 and 2 of nursery culture (3 weeks per phase) of hatchery-produced crab Scylla serrata was investigated. ...
