Bacterial flora of milkfish, Chanos chanos, eggs and larvae
(Japanese Society of Fish Pathology, 1996)Aerobic bacterial flora of eggs and larvae of milkfish, Chanos chanos, was investigated. Microflora in the incubating water of egg, rearing water of larvae, water source, and larval food was also analyzed. Aerobic ... -
Iodine disinfection of grouper Epinephelus coioides eggs
(European Association of Fish Pathologists, 2003)In this study, the developmental stage, iodine concentration and exposure time that will reduce the bacterial load without decreasing the hatching rate for the disinfection of grouper (Epinephelus coioides) egg were ... -
Effect of a diet lacking in vitamin and mineral supplements on growth and survival of Penaeus monodon juveniles in a modified extensive culture system
(Elsevier, 1995)Penaeus monodon postlarvae (mean weight 6 mg) were reared in 330 m2 earthen ponds for 120 days at a stocking density of 7.5 m−2, following a modified extensive culture system where natural food organisms ... -
Changes induced in the gills of milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskål) fingerlings after acute exposure to nifurpirinol (Furanace; P-7138)
(Springer Verlag, 1995)The need for a chemotherapeutant used specifically for fish disease became increasingly apparent with intensive fish culture practices, and with the possibility of bacterial resistance against drugs used for human and ... -
Milt-egg ratio in artificial fertilization of the Asian freshwater catfish, Clarias macrocephalus, injected salmon gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue and domperidone
(Cambridge University Press, 1995)The author deals with the catfish Clarias macrocephalus which are artificially fertilized by inducing females to spawn using various hormones. This paper investigates the effect of Ovaprim on milt production and fertilizing ... -
Growth and production of milkfish (Chanos chanos) in brackishwater ponds: effects of dietary protein and feeding levels
(Elsevier, 1995)The most economical combination of dietary protein and feeding levels for milkfish culture in brackishwater ponds was determined. Milkfish juveniles (average weight, 5 g) were stocked at 7000/ ha and fed two diets containing ... -
Participation of women in oyster and mussel farming in Western Visayas, Philippines
(Blackwell Publishing, 1995)This paper provides baseline information on the involvement of women in small-scale coastal aquaculture such as the farming of slipper oyster, Crassostrea iredalei (Faustino 1933), and green mussel, Perna viridis (Linnaeus ... -
Diel activity patterns in Metapenaeus and Penaeus juveniles
(Springer Verlag, 1995)Small (5–10.9 mm carapace length), medium (11–15.9 mm), and large (16–20.9 mm) juveniles of Metapenaeus anchistus, Metapenaeus sp., Penaeus monodon and P. merguiensis were stocked individually in glass tanks provided with ... -
Mangroves and brackishwater pond culture in the Philippines
(Springer Verlag, 1995)Around 50% of mangrove loss in the Philippines can be traced to brackishwater pond construction. The decrease in mangroves from 450 000 ha in 1920 to 132 500 ha in 1990 has been accompanied by expansion of culture ponds ... -
Foregut evacuation, return of appetite and gastric fluid secretion in the tropical freshwater crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus
(Elsevier, 1995)The effects of animal size and feeding frequency on the foregut evacuation rates by Cherax quadricarinatus, that fed voluntarily on pellet food (meal size eaten, 1.3–1.4% body weight), were determined using a modified ... -
Carrageenan properties and proximate composition of three morphotypes of Kappaphycus alvarezii Doty (Gigartinales, Rhodophyta) grown at two depths
(Walter de Gruyter, 1995)Three morphotypes (brown, green and red) of Kappaphycus alvarezii grown at two depths were evaluated for carrageenan properties and proximate composition. The green morphotype was significantly different from the brown and ... -
Formation of acid sulfate soil and its implications to brackishwater ponds
(Elsevier, 1995)Acid sulfate soil formation was observed experimentally during leaching of pyritic soil material. Pyritic soil was saturated with distilled water in glass columns and treated under waterlogged and drained conditions. ... -
Exploitation of the window-pane shell Placuna placenta in the Philippines
(Elsevier, 1995)The window-pane shell Placuna placenta or 'kapis' has great economic importance in the Philippines. The translucent shell is used in the manufacture of lampshades and other shellcraft items exported to Europe, USA and ... -
Rapid rural appraisal and participatory research in the Philippines
(Oxford University Press, 1995)Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA) was conducted in the fishing village of Lakaran, in the municipality of Dumangas, Iloilo province to identify the resources, livelihood, problems, opportunities, and socioeconomic condition of ... -
Growth and survival of juvenile tiger shrimp fed diet where fish meal is partially replaced with papaya (Carica papaya L.) or camote (Ipomea batatas Lam.) leaf meal
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1995)Fish meal is the major protein source in shrimp and fish diets but its continuous use would make it scarce and expensive. There are, however, potential substitutes like soybean or leaf meals. Papaya or camote leaf meals ... -
The effect of tank color and rotifer density on rotifer ingestion, growth and survival of milkfish (Chanos chanos) larvae
(San Carlos Publications, University of San Carlos, 1995)The effect of tank color on rotifer ingestion, early growth and survival of milkfish larvae was assessed. The larvae were stocked at 30/L in 200-L fiberglass tanks coated black or unpainted (tan). Larvae were fed rotifers ... -
Resistance to a heavy metal mixture in Oreochromis niloticus progenies from parents chronically exposed to the same metals
(Elsevier, 1995)Adult Oreochromis niloticus were mass spawned in concrete tanks. The one-month old progenies (F1) were exposed for two months to a mixture of 0.01 mg L−1 Hg, 0.1 mg L−1 Cd and 1.0 mg ... -
Effect of stocking density and nutrients on the growth and agar gel of Gracilariopsis bailinae (Gracilariales, Rhodophyta)
(San Carlos Publications, University of San Carlos, 1995)The effect of additional nutrients and varying stocking densities (500, 1000, and 2000 g m-2) on the growth and physical properties of Gracilariopsis bailinae was determined. Growth was significantly higher (L ... -
Effect of dietary protein to energy ratios on growth, survival, and body composition of juvenile Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer
(Elsevier, 1995)The optimum protein-to-energy (P/E) ratio for juvenile sea bass (body weight, 1.34 ± 0.01 g) was determined using practical diets in a 3 × 3 factorial experiment. Three protein levels (35, 42.5 or 50%) and three lipid ...
