(Elsevier, 2024-08)Sea lice infestations can pose significant challenges in the aquaculture sector, affecting fish health and overall production. In the search for effective and eco-friendly solutions, hydrogen peroxide bath treatment has ... -
Complex patterns of genetic structure in the sea cucumber Holothuria (Metriatyla) scabra from the Philippines: implications for aquaculture and fishery management
(Frontiers Media, 2024-06-04)The sandfish Holothuria (Metriatyla) scabra, is a high-value tropical sea cucumber harvested from wild stocks for over four centuries in multi-species fisheries across its Indo-Pacific distribution, for the global ... -
Simulated transport of silver therapon (Leiopotherapon plumbeus) fingerlings at different durations and loading densities: Effects on survival and water quality
(College of Agriculture and Food Science, University of the Philippines Los Baños, 2024-06)The silver therapon, Leiopotherapon plumbeus, is being promoted as a new species for aquaculture. However, information on the optimal conditions for the transport of this species for grow-out culture needs to be established ... -
Temporal variation in the incidence of seaweed health problems affecting farmed Kappaphycus striatus in relation to environmental conditions in shallow waters
(Springer, 2024-04-18)A fixed off-bottom Kappaphycus striatus var. sacol farm was monitored for 12 months (June 2019 to May 2020) and the monthly incidence of disease and pests was recorded. Meteorological information in situ, from the nearest ... -
The complete mitochondrial genome of freshwater gammarid Gammarus nipponensis (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Gammaridae)
(Taylor and Francis, 2024-04-02)This study presents the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Gammarus nipponensis, a freshwater crustacean found in the western regions of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu in Japan. The entire genome is 16,429 bp in length, ... -
Sandfish (Holothuria scabra) as potential reservoir of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) when co-cultured with black tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon)
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2024-03-08)Since the first occurrence of White Spot Disease (WSD) in 1992, it is still listed as one of the crustacean diseases by the World Organisation for Animal Health in 2022. Horizontal transmission in co-culture systems is one ... -
