Seed production and the prawn industry in the Philippines
Abstract
In any aquaculture system, the major components are seed and feed. The same is true for Penaeus monodon known locally as sugpo, lukon, pansat or by its trade/export name "black tiger". This paper is an attempt to give a state-of-the-art of prawn hatchery technology and wild fry collection in the country, focus on technical and non-technical problems, and offer solutions and policy recommendations.
