Mussels (Mytilus smaragdinus) were posing a threat as fouling organisms in Bacoor Bay, on the south coast of Manila Bay but when attempts were made to market the mussel so much success was achieved that attempts to culture it were begun. A pilot farm was established; mussels now exceed oysters as the most important an profitable crop, 4 mussel projects have now been established, at Bacoor, Tinagong Dagat in northeast Panay, Jiabon in western Samar, and Panguil Bay in northwest Minanao. Projects of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) are also noted. The methods used in mussel culture are described; at Bacoor, Bamboo stakes are used as substrate. Cost and production estimates for a 1 ha farm using the bamboo stake substrate are given.

This paper introduces some new members of the international shrimp culture club and goes on to discuss some recent technological innovations in the industry, particularly the polyculture of tilapia (mainly Oreochromis mossambicus) and shrimp. In the second and final part of his article, Fred Yap introduces some new members of the international shrimp culture club and goes on to discuss some recent technological innovations in the industry. He concludes with speculation on possible developments in the near future.

Based on FAO time series data, in 1984 there were only 33 countries reporting farmed shrimp production. This increased to 51 in 1989 and rose to 60 in 1996. The world total shrimps and prawns production reached 1.114 million mt in 1998. This level represents more than a five-fold increase over the 1985 production of 213 640 mt. The outbreak of disease in shrimp farms has been a serious problem; the example of the white spot virus (WSSV) is given. The situation in two major shrimp producing countries, Thailand and Ecuador, is illustrated. Mon, 01 Jan 2001 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12066/7321 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z
