Optimisation of mesh enclosures for nursery rearing of juvenile sea cucumbers
Type: Journal Article
Mariculture of tropical sea cucumbers is promising, but the nursery rearing of juveniles is a bottleneck for farming and sea ranching. We conducted four medium-scale experiments lasting 3–6 weeks, using thousands of cultured ...

Type: Journal Article
An experiment was conducted to two different immunostimulants were investigated to detect changes in the activity of innate non-specific immune response, disease resistance and growth performance as alternatives to antibiotics ...
Quantitative genetic parameter estimates for body and carcass traits in a cultured stock of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) selected for harvest weight in Vietnam
Type: Journal Article
Benefits derived from selective breeding have been demonstrated in livestock and in some fish species, but by contrast, there have been few systematic selection programs reported for shrimps. Improving growth rate has been ...
Performance of mono-sex tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in rice field with different ditch size
Type: Journal Article
The effects of ditch size on growth and production of mono-sex tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus in rain fed concurrent rice–fish system were technically and economically evaluated for a period of 4 months. Three different ...
Algal bioproducts derived from suspended solids in intensive land-based aquaculture
Type: Journal Article
Land-based aquaculture produces suspended solids in culture pond and settlement pond waters that could be harvested as a bioresource. The first aim of this study is to quantify, characterise, and subsequently harvest the ...
