Improvement of Philippine Penaeus vannamei for enhanced growth and White Spot Syndrome Virus resistance through selective breeding

Shrimp / By

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 / By

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 …

Maximizing Pond Use through Mangrove Crab Fattening Cum Fish Culture to Improve the Livelihood of Farmers

Mangrove Crab / By

Fattening of crabs is an easy-to-learn technology and can be a good means of improving the livelihood of coastal communities because it is profitable and involves lesser risks due to its short duration of culture. Likewise, it can be a business enterprise for small to medium – scale farmers. This has been done in many …
