Promotion of Aquashade Technology in Luzon to Increase Nile Tilapia Seed Production During Warm Months

This project will involve an interdisciplinary team who will work for wider adoption of the technology in Luzon where most of the tilapia hatcheries are located. The dissemination of technology will be in collaboration with other SUCs and LGUs that will result in increased seed production in their respective areas which is highly needed for …

Enhancing the Agri-Aqua Food Value Chain through Smart Technologies and Partnerships towards Food Resiliency in the New Normal in Region 3

This project focuses on enhancing the food value chain for Tilapia in Region 3. Second to milkfish, tilapia is the most cultured freshwater fish in the country. Based on the 2019 Philippine Statistics Office (PSO) data, fresh tilapia production in the Philippines totaled 1,344,382.36 MT with Central Luzon contributing 644,113.05 MT or 47.91% to the …

Innovations for Higher Tilapia Production

Hot temperatures, particularly during El Nino episodes can lower fry production in hatcheries   by reducing the frequency of spawning and egg   production. To ensure year-round fry production, the program designed an aquashade to mitigate the effect of warm temperatures. The aquashade made from  collapsible metal frames and greenhouse net which can block sunlight …

Pilot Scale Application of Aquashade to Reduce Water Temperature and Enhance Seed Production in Hatchery Systems for Tilapia

The Central Luzon State University through the leadership of Dr. Emmanuel M. Vera Cruz developed the aquashade for the tilapia hatchery production in 2016.  Shading the breeding area especially during the hot season was shown to reduce water temperature by as much as 40oC and enhance fry production by seven fold.  Two designs of aquashade …

Use of Colloidal Gold Nanoparticles (AuNPs) Immune Assay for the Rapid Detection of Bacterial Pathogens in Freshwater Tilapia Aquaculture

Among the various disease-causing pathogens, bacterial pathogens are the major cause of infections and disease problems in wild fish and fish reared in confined conditions. An important prerequisite for diagnosing and establishing proper treatment and preventive action against diseases is through disease detection.  The Central Luzon State University through the leadership of Dr.Karl Marx A. …

Use of Nano (Zeolite-Silica) composite for the Removal of Pollutants from Water and Soil for Freshwater Tilapia Aquaculture Production

The Central Luzon State University through the leadership of Dr. Juvy J. Monserate developed the Zeolite-silica Nanocomposite (ZNC) technology. The ZNC is a novel material synthesized and fully characterized at CLSU Nanotechnology R & D Facility.  ZNC can be utilized as soil and water conditioner for aquaculture purposes. Because of its enhanced properties: 262 m2 …
