The reproductive patterns of 18 coral species in Luzon, 13 coral species in Visayas and 11 coral species in Mindanao were assessed while the monthly record of reproductive status of 11 broadcast spawning coral species (i.e., Favites abdita, F. colemani, Acropora hyacinthus, A. valida, A. millepora, A. gemmifera, A. humilis, A. digitifera, A. latistella, A. …
DOST-PCAARRD supported the nationwide coral reef assessment in 2015, which assessed a total of 206 stations using HCC and allowed the development of (1) standardized protocol for reef monitoring, assessment and taxonomic identification, and (2) new scale for classifying the status of coral reefs developed using HCC and national and regional benchmarks, assessment scales and …
This project will investigate the potential role of Type VI Secretion System encoded by Vibrio-causing AHPND during shrimp infection. It has been shown that AHPND is caused by plasmid-encoded binary toxins V. parahaemolyticus Photorhabdus insect-related toxins (PirAVP and PirBVP). However, little is known about the pathogenicity and it remains unknown whether other virulent factors are …
Biofloc technology has become a popular technology in the farming of tilapia, Penaeus monodon, and Litopenaeus vannamei. It is an advanced technology identified for solving evolving viral problems and rising costs for energy. BFT has already been pilot tested in three farms in Luzon, two in Visayas, and two in Mindanao. Biofloc technology proved success …
This project aims to assist the shrimp industry by developing quality control materials for microbiological testing laboratories in the country. It is recognized that laboratory testing is an integral part in ensuring food safety through accurate measurement. The DOST-ITDI, through the National Metrology Laboratory, has developed its capability in the field of biological metrology for …
Among the recorded nine (9) naturally-occurring Macrobrachium species in Marinduque, there are 4 species with potentials for culture for their size, including M. australe, M. latimanus, M. lar, and M. latidactylus. These species are among the target species captured by local residents from the wild for domestic consumption and occasionally sold at the local market …
Due to various human interventions like overexploitation, environmental pollution and habitat loss, the natural population of Macrobrachium species is declining. There is also a great deal of confusion over the exact identity of both wild and hatchery-bred M. rosenbergii stocks in the Philippines. The use of mtDNA genes, microsatellite markers and EST/Next gen sequencing data …
This TechnoMart project aims to establish a viable and sustainable Arabica coffee enterprise in the Cordillera, specifically in Sagada, from production of beans to processing of roasted ground coffee, ready for marketing. It has three components: a) organic certification for organic Arabica coffee products, b) value addition of said products for local and international markets, …
This STCBF project intends to promote wider adoption of the recommended S&T interventions in ulang production through STCBF modality; establish a community grower group management system; and enhance active participation and empower the community with the help of the LGUs and local organizations in promoting the application of the recommended technologies. Further, this STCBF project …
