Biofloc technology (BFT) in the nursery production of P. vannamei

To address the decrease in shrimp production and adaptation to the fast-evolving demands of the new normal due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of San Agustin, in partnership with the Marmi Agricultural Corporation as its industry collaborator located in Silay City, developed a biofloc technology (BFT) protocol for the tank-based nursery production of white …

Breeding Protocol for Penaeus vannamei

The success of any selective breeding program relies on the genetic diversity of the founder lines so that the selection progresses forward without the negative influence of inbreeding depression. Through this project implemented by the University of the Philippines Visayas, three families of P. vannamei (KONA, SIS & Philippine local) were obtained from different commercial …

Field testing of LAMP detection kit for AHPND in shrimps

Shrimp aquaculture is considered globally as an economically important industry, providing a major source of livelihood especially in countries with large coastal areas such as the Philippines. However, a bacterial disease such as Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease (AHPND), formerly known as Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS), contributes to the decline in shrimp production. The LAMP assay …
