Evaluation of different live food organisms on growth and survival of river catfish, Mystus nemurus (C&V) larvae
(European Aquaculture Society, 2001)Mystus nemurus is one of the most commercially important freshwater fish in Malaysia. Even though artificial breeding or reproduction of M. nemurus is done in private hatcheries around Peninsular Malaysia, inadequate seed ... -
Aquaculture and the coastal environment
(Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development, 1991)Philippine aquaculture production mostly comes from pond culture (brackishwater) constituting 47% of the total 1987 production of 560,970 t followed by mariculture of seaweeds, mollusks and finfishes. Fishponds have increased ... -
New developments in marine prawn disease research in south east Asia.
(Malaysian Fisheries Society. Occasional Publication No. 6, 1992)Researches on marine shrimp diseases for the past three years centered primarily on the diagnosis and control of viral and bacterial infections as well as nutritional, toxic and environmental diseases. Diagnostic techniques ... -
The effect of stocking density, temperature and light on the early larval survival of the abalone Haliotis asinina Linné
(Phuket Marine Biological Center, 2001)Newly hatched trocophore larvae of the abalone haliotis asinina linne were stocked at densities of 1000, 3000 and 5000 larvae/1 at low (20-25oC) and high (ambien, 28-30oC) water temperature levels in ... -
Viewpoint on formulating policies for sustainable shrimp culture
(Rome, Italy: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 1999)An examination is made of all the negative impacts attributed to shrimp culture, particularly to intensive culture, considering also remedial measures recommended to ameliorate their ill-effects and discussing the implications ... -
Photoperiod effects on feeding, food conversion, growth, and survival of abalone (Haliotis asinina Linne) during nursery rearing
(Phuket Marine Biological Center, 2001)Juveniles of Haliotis asinina, 10 mm shell length were subjected to four photoperiodic regimes namely, 6L:18D, OL:24D, diffused 12:12D, and ambient light (12L:12D) serving as control. Juveniles were fed fresh seaweed, ... -
Anthropological study on the coastal fisheries: harmonization of present and traditional technologies for sustainable coastal fisheries through community-based coastal resources management (CB-CRM): the Philippine experience.
(Master’s Program in Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba, 1996)As an archipelago country, communities in the Philippines grow along the coastal areas, and usually near a river. The main source of food and livelihood of these communities would be from their surrounding aquatic resources. ... -
Incidence and causes of mass fish kill in a shallow tropical eutrophic lake (Laguna de Bay, Philippines)
(Shiga Prefectural Government, 2001)Mass fish kills in Laguna de Bay, the largest lake in the Philippines, has been reported as early as in the 1930’s. With the introduction of and development of aquaculture in this lake, considerable attention and concern ... -
Socio-economic impacts of shrimp culture
(International Foundation for Science (IFS), 1998)Farmed shrimp contributed 27% of total world shrimp production in 1995 with a volume of 712,000 tonnes ('metric tonnes,' t). Undoubtedly, the shrimp culture industry earns valuable foreign exchange for developing countries ... -
