With the advent of new research and studies into aquaculture practices there is a need to improve the size and shape of brackishwater ponds in the Philippines and to make their management more efficient. This article ...

As the importance of engineering to aquaculture becomes more apparent it is also realized that the physical properties of a pond have a strong influence on its productivity. This article reports the plans and programmes ...

Successful molts and morphological defects in P. monodon zoeae (Z₁, Z₂, Z₃) resulting from a 24-h exposure to 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L furanace in baths of 1.0 and 2.0 mg/L were quantified. Molting ...

A pathogenic suctorean, identified as Ephelota gemmipara was observed in P. monodon larvae spawned and reared in tanks. Commonly found to inhabit hydroid colonies, E. gemmipara has a stalked body with two types of tentacles, ...

This paper describes trials at combining Artemia rearing with salt production during the dry season, in newly-constructed earthen salt ponds (reservoir, evaporation, concentration, and crystallization ponds, total area of ...

Penaeus indicus H. M. Edwards harvested after three months of rearing in brackishwater ponds and averaging 6.9 g for females and 5.6 g for males were stocked in two 12 cu m flowthrough ferrocement tanks at 240 females and ...

It is a common belief that the zoea of Penaeus monodon are completely filter feeders. Thus, diatoms like chaetoceros and phytoflagellates are maintained at high feeding densities as much as 80 000 cells/ml in hatchery tanks ...

Research on larval rearing of Macrobrachium is reviewed. The future of prawn culture is discussed.

Natural populations of oysters and mussels have long been gathered for food by coastal communities in the Philippines, and bivalve farming began in early 1900. The first farms were no more than a series of bamboo poles ...
