Maturation of Oreochromis niloticus gonads
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)At hatching when fry were 5 to 6 mm, primordial germ cells (PGCs) were found to concentrate along the dorsomedian region of the peritoneal wall at the root of the developing mesentery and in places far from the appearance ... -
LHRHa and pimozide-induced breeding in the catfish, Clarias macrocephalus (Gunther)
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)Clarias macrocephalus is endemic yet dwindling freshwater foodfish in the Philippines. Induced breeding protocol was developed by monitoring the size and maturation of eggs at 0-48 h after a simultaneous injection of ... -
Growth and survival of milkfish (Chanos chanos) larvae reared on artificial diets
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)A preliminary feeding experiment was conducted to determine growth and survival of milkfish larvae reared on various feeding regimes involving the use of artificial diets. Two larval diets (Feed A and Feed B) containing ... -
Effects of different fat sources on the egg quality of grouper, Epinephelus suillus
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)The effect of different fat sources on the egg quality of grouper, Epinephelus suillus eggs was evaluated. Fish in three tanks, each containing 3 females and 1 male, were fed various types of feeds namely: trash fish ... -
Feeding habits of hatchery-reared grouper, Epinephelus suillus larvae
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1996)The feeding habits of hatchery-reared Epinephelus suillus larvae were determined by examining their gut contents. The larvae (2.6 mm TL) were initially fed rotifers on day 2 and newly-hatched Artemia nauplii on day 21 (9.1 ... -
