Results of drift card experiments and considerations on the movement of milkfish eggs and larvae in the northern Sulu Sea

စိတ္တဇ
For a period of one year beginning December 1977, drift card experiments were conducted off the western and southwestern coasts of Panay Island to determine the surface currents in the area.
Of a total 2,384 drift cards released during the study, 382 (16.02%) were recovered, 92% of them within 30 days following dispatch. The surface currents in the study area are strongly influenced, in direction and speed, by the prevailing monsoon winds. During the NE monsoon period, the surface currents move away from the coast; during the SW monsoon, toward and/or parallel to the coast. Based on the results, the probable movement and transport of milkfish eggs and larvae from the spawning ground to the fry collection ground are also discussed.

Preliminary observation on the number of vertebra in milkfish, Chanos chanos (Forskal)
Senta, Tetsushi; Kumagai, Shigeru (Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 1976)The existence of races and/or subpopulation in milkfish, a widely distributed species, is suggested by many workers. Comparison of mean numbers of vertebrae is one of the useful method of distinguishing subpopulations. The ...
