Studies on the use of copepods in the semi-intensive seed production of grouper Epinephelus coioides
(Blackwell Publishing, 2005)Previous studies by the authors have shown the feasibility of using copepods in the semi-intensive seed production of grouper Epinephelus coioides. Early-stage E. coioides larvae preferred to ingest copepod nauplii over ... -
Limit of colour vision in dim light in larvae of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii
(Springer Verlag, 2018)Colour vision depends on sufficient ambient light and becomes ineffective at a particular low light intensity. It is not known how decapod crustaceans see colour in dim light. In the present study we investigated the colour ... -
Characterisation of Vibrio isolates recovered from the eyes of cage-cultured pompano (Trachinotus blochii) infested with caligid parasites (Lepeophtheirus spinifer)
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2018)Exophthalmia was documented among sea cage-cultured pompano (Trachinotus blochii) broodstocks with caligid parasite (Lepeophtheirus spinifer) infestation in the Philippines. Following sequencing, and based on the results ... -
Genetic assessment of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) stocks based on novel short tandem repeats for marker-aided broodstock management
(John Wiley and Sons, 2018)Milkfish hatchery broodstock are either from on-grown wild-caught or hatchery-produced fry/juveniles. To determine if a marker-assisted management scheme can be formulated for improved milkfish hatchery production, milkfish ... -
An overview of agricultural pollution in the Philippines: Summary report
(World Bank, 2016)The 'study' constitutes the totality of the work and includes multiple components, including national overviews of agricultural pollution for the three focus countries, thematic working papers, and an overall synthesis ... -
Sensory systems and feeding behaviour of the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, and the marine whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei
(Borneo Marine Research Institute, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, 2017)Information on the sensory basis of shrimp feeding provides the means for assessment of the effectiveness of food items in terms of smell, taste, size, and colour. This chapter summarizes information about the sensory basis ... -
Effect of colored light regimes on the stress response and RNA/DNA ratio of juvenile red sea bream, Pagrus major
(Borneo Marine Research Institute, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, 2017)We hypothesized that fish with red-sensitive retina would be stressed by red light and thus inhibited in somatic growth. Red sea bream (Pagrus major) juveniles (total length =3 cm) with red-sensitive retina were chosen to ... -
Partial replacement of soybean meal with fermented copra meal in milkfish (Chanos chanos, Forsskal) diet
(Bioflux, 2015)Feeding trials were conducted to determine the optimum partial replacement level of soybean meal (SBM) with fermented copra meal (FCM). Isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets containing 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% of the locally ... -

Clonal production of Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) Doty in vitro
(Springer Verlag, 2017)Micropropagation has proven to be a reliable method to mass produce certain crops. This method also has been applied in macroalgae to produce clones for seaweed farming. Protocols for callus production and shoot regeneration ... -
Luminous Vibrio and the greenwater culture of the tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon with tilapia
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2017)Luminous vibriosis is a devastating infection of penaeid shrimp larvae and juveniles causing heavy mortalities. To counter the bacterial pathogen, Vibrio harveyi, shrimp farmers in the Philippines modified their growout ... -
Shelter colour preference of the postlarvae of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii
(Springer Verlag, 2017)The addition of artificial shelters of various materials has been used in Macrobrachium rosenbergii tanks and ponds as a means of increasing productivity. The present study investigated the shelter colour preference of M. ... -
Salt tolerant Nile tilapia production: Prospects in aquaculture
(Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Aquaculture (MPEDA), 2016)In the Philippines, salt tolerant Nile tilapia strains have been developed and promoted for culture to increase tilapia production in brackishwater pond systems previously dedicated for milkfish and/or penaeid shrimp ... -
Mortality of pond-cultured Litopenaeus vannamei associated with acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) and white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection in the Philippines
(Japanese Society of Fish Pathology, 2017)Mortalities of up to 60% were observed in pond-cultured Litopenaeus vannamei in Bohol, Philippines. Histopathological examination revealed typical acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) pathology. PCR test generated ... -
Digital curation projects: A study of selected academic and research repositories in the Philippines
(Nanyang Technological University, 2016)The paper examines digitization and preservation initiatives in selected academic and research libraries in the Philippines. It identifies the drivers for the projects, practices followed, and issues encountered. Most of ... -
Substrate preference for burying and feeding of sandfish Holothuria scabra juveniles
Altamirano, Jon
; ; (Elsevier, 2017)
Substrate preference for both burying and feeding of sandfish Holothuria scabra juveniles (3–6 g wet body weight) and their associated daily behavior, growth and survival were investigated in laboratory and field experiments ... -
Growth response of cultured larvae of silver therapon Leiopotherapon plumbeus (Kner, 1864) in outdoor tanks in relation to fertilizer type and fish density
(Wiley, 2016)This study evaluated the effects of fertilizer type and fish density on early growth and survival of silver therapon Leiopotherapon plumbeus (Kner, 1864) larvae reared in outdoor tanks. In the first experiment, larvae (1.92 ... -
Temporal changes in innate immunity parameters, epinecidin gene expression, and mortality in orange-spotted grouper, Epinephelus coioides experimentally infected with a fish pathogen, Vibrio harveyi JML1
(Elsevier, 2017)Changes in innate immunity parameters and epinecidin mRNA transcript levels were examined to characterize the non-specific immune response of E. coioides to pathogenic V. harveyi JML1 isolated from affected cage-cultured ... -
Poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate-enriched Artemia sp. for giant tiger prawn Penaeus monodon larviculture
(John Wiley and Sons, 2017)The beneficial effects of PHB as supplement for giant tiger prawn Penaeus monodon postlarvae using a short-term enrichment strategy via Artemia were examined. The effects of co-supplementing with a lipid emulsion were also ... -
