The propagation of the mud crab Scylla serrata (F.) de Haan
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
The mud crab Scylla serrata is an important commercial species found in many brackish areas in the Philippines. During spawning and hatching, the berried females migrate to the sea. Seeds for pond stocking are obtained ...
Organic pollution in culture water resulting from excess feed and metabolite buildup
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
Penaeus monodon postlarvae were subjected to increasing feed concentrations and their growth and survival rates were recorded. Measurements were made of dissolved organic matter, and ammonia and nitrite-nitrogen concentrations. ...
The biology and control of Caligus sp., an ectoparasite of the adult milkfish Chanos chanos Forskal
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
One unidentified species of copepod belonging to the genus Caligus of the family Caligidae was found to infest the adult milkfish broodstock. To control the parasites infesting the adult milkfish, tests were made using the ...
Bacteria from seawater used in Penaeus monodon larval cultures
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
Bacteria in the seawater used in P. monodon hatchery operations were isolated on Bachmann's agar. The total plate counts in 25 isolations ranged from 1.0 - 5.0 x 10<sup>2</sup> to 5.1 -10.0 x 10<sup>5</sup> cells per ml. ...
Reduction in Chaetoceros populations by furanace
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
One of the most promising prophylactic agents being tested to control Penaeus monodon larval diseases is furanace (6-hydroxymethyl-2 2(5-nitro-2-furyl) vinyl pyridine). To evaluate further its suitability as a chemotherapeutic ...

Breeding and larval rearing of the milkfish Chanos chanos (Pisces: Chanidae)
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
Two sexually maturing female milkfish were captured in April 1977 and induced to spawn by means of acetone-dried Pacific salmon pituitary powder. The eggs were fertilized and incubated and the resultant young reared to ...

Artificial fertilization of eggs and early development of the milkfish Chanos chanos (Forskal)
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1977)
Hydrated eggs obtained from a female milkfish were artificially fertilized with the milt collected from a male injected with acetone-dried pituitaries of salmon. The fertilized eggs (1.1 to 1.25 mm in diameter) developed ...
