    Determination of the fungal flora in the rearing water, eggs, larvae and post-larvae of Penaeus monodon in a large-scale hatchery system
    Baes, Glanee F. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1995-03)
    The rearing water and homogenized. eggs, larvae, post-larvae of Penaeus monodon were taken front the large-scale hatchery system. These were counted, isolated and identified. Analysis was done by determining the mean, standard deviation and skewness of the data. The result showed that the skewness of the yeast and mold counts in the rearing water were 0.93 and 0.64, respectively 'while that in the homogenized samples were 0.92 and 1.09, respectively. These showed that the data were positively skewed, hence, fungi were greater in the early larval stages than in the later stages. The mean showed that yeast yielded greater counts as compared to the molds. Furthermore, rearing water have also higher fungal count than that of the homogenized prawns. The fungi identified were Aspergillus, Balanium, Bispora, Cladosporium and Phialomysis. In the study, the fungi identified were the normal mycoflora which did not adversely harm the prawn due to favorable hatchery conditions, there being no disease outbreak during the duration of the study.

    Effect of Physico-chemical parameters of rearing waters on survival rates of larvae and post larvae of Penaeus monodon in two hatchery systems
    Alindong, Ray Lauron (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1995-03)
    Physico-chemical parameters such as temperature, pH, salinity, and D.O. of the small-scale and large-scale hatchery system were monitored daily for a duration of two months. The relationship between the physico-chemical parameters and the survival of the different larval and post-larval stages between the two hatchery systems was then determined. Results showed that the physico-chemical parameters obtained from the small-scale hatchery system were favorable to the survival of the larval stages of the prawn. However, the physico—chemical parameters obtained from the large-scale hatchery system were more suitable for the growth of the post-larval stages.
