Isolation And Characterization Of Microalgae Strains For Live Food In Sulawesi, Indonesia, Wa Iba, Michael Rice
Isolation And Characterization Of Microalgae Strains For Live Food In Sulawesi, Indonesia, Wa Iba, Michael Rice
Michael A Rice
Four strains of diatoms were isolated from the waters of Kendari Bay in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, including strains of Melosira moniliformis, Chaetoceros, sp. and a larger species that is likely to be Tetraselmis weissflogii. Isolated strains have exhibited a wide range of salinity tolerances in the 20 to 35 psu range. Strains of isolated phytoplankton were able to reach high densities consistent with strains suitable for use as aquaculture feeds. One strain Kbl-3 attained lipid content of 22.3 percent per gram dry weight at salinity of 35 psu, suggesting that it may be a good feed for shrimp larvae. Most …

Demand for shrimp, particularly the eastern Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (Boone 1931), will continue to increase in Asian and worldwide seafood markets. Providing shrimp farms with a robust, healthy, and continuous supply of shrimp seed is a challenge that must be addressed to meet the demand. Shrimp feed during hatchery production still relies on live microalgae, despite many years of effort to find suitable full or partial-replacement diet alternatives. Successful mass production of microalgae for hatchery feed to obtain good quality shrimp seedstock depends on a number of environmental factors that determine the growth and nutritional values of various …

The development of aquaculture in the Agno-Pantal-Calmay River Estuary system of Dagupan City, Pangasinan Province in the Philippines is reviewed. Traditionally, extensive pond culture of milkfish, Chanos chanos and penaeid shrimp was practiced along with culture of mangrove oysters, Crassostrea iredalei, in adjacent estuarine waterways. Netpen culture of serranid groupers in the estuaries began in the early 1980s, followed by intensive fish pen culture of milkfish in the late 1980s. Over intensification of finfish aquaculture led to hyper eutrophication and fish kills beginning in 1996. Official governmental response to the fish kills is reported, and recommendations to prevent future fish …
