Milkfish (Chanos chanos) growth hormone cDNA cloning and mRNA expression in embryos and early larval stages.
(Elsevier, 2002)In an attempt to understand growth regulation in milkfish, the milkfish growth hormone (GH) and its cDNA were characterized and the expression of GH mRNA in embryos and larvae was examined by RT-PCR. The milkfish GH was ... -
Development of a method for reproducing epizootic ulcerative syndrome using controlled doses of Aphanomyces invadans in species with different salinity requirements
(Elsevier, 2002)Lesions typical of epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS) were induced in three-spot gourami, Trichogaster trichopterus, and sand whiting, Sillago ciliata, injected intramuscularly with controlled doses of Aphanomyces invadans ... -
Growth and body composition of juvenile mud crab, Scylla serrata, fed different dietary protein and lipid levels and protein to energy ratios.
(Elsevier, 2002)The effect of different dietary protein and lipid levels, and protein to energy (P/E) ratios on growth and body composition of the mud crab, Scylla serrata, was evaluated. Six practical test diets were formulated ... -
Preliminary report on nursery and grow-out culture of hatchery-bred grouper (Epinephelus coioides Hamilton) in ponds
(Blackwell Publishing, 2002) -
Nursery rearing of the Asian catfish, Clarias macrocephalus (Günther), at different stocking densities in cages suspended in tanks and ponds
(Blackwell Publishing, 2002)Growth and survival of hatchery-bred Asian catfish, Clarias macrocephalus (Günther), fry reared at different stocking densities in net cages suspended in tanks and ponds were measured. The stocking densities used ... -
Differential expression of insulin-like growth factor I and II mRNAs during embryogenesis and early larval development in rabbitfish, Siganus guttatus
(Academic Press, 2002)In rodents, the expression of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) is higher than that of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) during fetal life while the reverse is true after birth. We wanted to examine whether this ... -
Genetic diversity of wild and cultured black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) in the Philippines using microsatellites
(Elsevier, 2001)Six microsatellites were used to study (1) the genetic diversity of wild Penaeus monodon shrimp from four geographic regions (Palawan, Quezon, Capiz and Negros Occidental-W) in the Philippines, and (2) its association ... -
Choosing tropical portunid species for culture, domestication and stock enhancement in the Indo-Pacific
(Asian Fisheries Society, 2001)Large and long-term investments in research, development and technology verification are required for the successful culture, domestication and coastal stock enhancement of any species, including crabs. As more species ... -
Mud crab fattening in ponds
(Asian Fisheries Society, 2001)Two independent experiments on mud crab (Scylla serrata, Portunidae) fattening were conducted simultaneously in 150 m2 ponds for 30 days: Expt. I - monosex male (286 ± 1.2 g) vs. monosex female (267 ± 0.9 g) ... -
Pond culture of mud crab Scylla serrata (Forskal) fed formulated diet with or without vitamin and mineral supplements
(Asian Fisheries Society, 2001)The effects of three diets (Diet 1 – with vitamin and mineral supplements, Diet 2 – without vitamin and mineral supplements, and Diet 3 – fish bycatch) and monosex culture (male or female) on the growth, survival, feed ... -
Antibiotic resistance of bacteria from shrimp ponds
(Elsevier, 2001)The incidence of antibiotic resistance was compared in bacteria isolated from pond water, pond sediment, water and sediment from the receiving environment (area where water from pond drains, which is 0 and 50 m away from ... -
Culture of Scylla serrata megalops in brackishwater ponds
(Asian Fisheries Society, 2001)Three- to five-day old hatchery-reared megalops (4.0 to 6.4 mg body weight) of the mud crab, Scylla serrata, were cultured to the juvenile stage in 20 m2 net cages installed in brackishwater nursery ponds. To ... -
Possible application of mibolerone for induced sex inversion of grouper Epinephelus coioides
(Japanese Society of Fisheries Science, 2001)Thirty immature juvenile grouper Epinephelus coioides (19-168 g bodyweight, BW) were randomly stocked in four units 6 t tanks to determine if mibolerone can be used to induce sex inversion in groupers. After acclimatization ... -
Seed production of mud crab Scylla serrata juveniles
(Asian Fisheries Society, 2001)A protocol for the large-scale rearing of the mud crab Scylla serrata juveniles was developed based on the results of small-scale experiments on feeding and water management. This paper also reports the success in producing ... -
Simulated transport of Scylla serrata zoeae at various loading densities
(Asian Fisheries Society, 2001)Percent mortality of mud crab Scylla serrata zoeae was determined after 6 h of simulated transport at mobile and stationary conditions at loading densities of 10, 20, 30 and 40 x 103 ind-l-1. Mortality ... -
Lysine and arginine requirements of juvenile Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer)
(Blackwell Publishing, 2001)Two separate experiments were conducted to determine the dietary requirements of juvenile Asian sea bass Lates calcarifer Bloch for lysine and arginine. Fish (average initial weight: lysine experiment, 13.12 ± 0.12 g; ... -
Evaluation of processed meat solubles as replacement for fish meal in diet for juvenile grouper Epinephelus coioides (Hamilton)
(Blackwell Publishing, 2001)Feeding experiments were conducted to determine the efficacy of low fish-meal-based diets for juvenile grouper Epinephelus coioides (Hamilton). A diet containing 44% protein was formulated using fish meal as the major ... -
Reproductive performance and larval quality of pond-raised Scylla serrata females fed various broodstock diets
(Asian Fisheries Society, 2001)Scylla serrata females with initial body weight (BW) of 350 to 400 g were previously raised on a defined diet of 75% brown mussel meat and 25% fish bycatch in grow-out ponds at Molo, Iloilo City, Philippines for 120 days. ... -
Pathogenicity of the epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS)-associated rhabdovirus to snakehead Ophicephalus striatus
(Japanese Society of Fish Pathology, 2001)The rhabdoviruses isolated from EUS-affected snakeheads in the Philippines was tested for pathogenicity to healthy, naive snakehead Ophicephalus striatus fry, fingerlings and juveniles. Virus exposure of naive snakehead ... -
