The results of the study showed that additional nutrients are necessary for the growth of G. The effect of background color and rotifer density on intake, growth and survival of sea bass (Epinephelus suillus) larvae. In black tanks, larval survival was improved at high rotifer densities of 15/ml.
Of the land mammals in the Philippines, 76% of the species are small (rats, mice and bats), but many of the larger ones (flying squirrels, bats, civets, leopard cats, flying lemurs, macaques, tarsiers, deer, wild boar, tamaraw) are endangered.

In addition, there are a lot of suitable sites for culture in the Philippines and a good quality food source, the red algae Gracilariopsis heteroclada, is readily available." Capinpin heads the abalone R&D effort at AQD. It was during the Meiji era that biological studies of abalone was initiated when Japan needed to generate more money from exports. Feed Gracilaria to abalone every other day by spreading it evenly in the pond.
Small abalone grow fastest in the warmer months of April to September; slower growth is from October to March. High temperatures during induced spawning and high concentrations of toxic substances in the pond may contribute to this. It is ideal for rearing abalone to a shell length of 20-30 mm -- also known as mid-term abalone rearing -- in the open sea.
34; In other countries, the best growth of abalone was observed when mixed algal diets were used, but in the Philippines, the use of a single-species algal diet is sufficient." AQD is working on abalone species with the highest potential of aquaculture in the Philippines So far, AQD researchers were able to artificially breed the donkey's ear and raised the spat in the hatchery.
REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY
34; A major factor limiting the expansion of abalone cultivation in temperate countries is the ready and economic availability of suitable algal populations," explains Emmanuel 'Manny' Capinpin, a researcher leading the abalone culture effort at AQD. Gracilariopsis. heteroclada has a high protein content, promotes rapid growth, and can sustain growth of Haliotis asinina over long periods of time. Moreover, this alga is abundant, cultured in drainage channels and brackish water ponds, and available year-round."
In addition to the quality of food, the correct design of the culture system is also important for farmers. 34;Farmers need to be aware that the ideal farming system is one that promotes even distribution of abalone, easy access to feed, minimal contact between ear and feed with faecal waste, good water flow and exchange, explains Manny. In addition to abalone larval settlement and survival patterns, the researchers will also study the effective mass culture of diatoms for larval forage.
This setup is similar to the setup at the Oyster Research Institute in Japan. Multiple spawnings occur when both groups have been induced to spawn by completely draining the tank and replacing water after 45 minutes of desiccation. But wild-caught female broodstock spawn more frequently and produce more eggs than hatchery-bred broodstock.

CCAGE CULTURE TRIALS
AQD is conducting studies on abalone Haliotis asinina in cages at its Igang Marina. 34; Abalone's increased tendency to stack with higher density due to lack of primary surface area limits movement. 34; We can conclude that food limitation is one of the main factors affecting growth at higher densities."
In the study, the abalones were fed weekly, and the higher density cages naturally receive more food, which in turn limits water movement. 34;The design of the growing system should provide good water flow to encourage the abalone to eat faster. I believe the net cage is a good design because water can flow from any direction and has a high surface area to volume ratio.”
This is a shorter period compared to temperate countries where abalone grows at a rate of 2-3 cm per year and reaches market size within 3-5 years. SOME OF THE ABALONE RESEARCH STUDIES HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED EC Capinpin Jr and KG Corre. Abalone is just one of about 20 raw materials that were prioritized for research at AQD from 1998 to 2000.
Existing artificial diets
The following is based on a review article entitled The development of artificial diets for abalone by AE Fleming, RJ van Barneveld and PW Hone published in Aquaculture. The search for artificial diets for abalone aquaculture began about 30 years ago and has intensified in recent years. Japan has six such groups, including Nihon Nosan Kogyo KK which is arguably the world's leading feed company.
The company sold 300 tons of artificial feed abalone in 1993.] Australia and China each have four research groups; the United States, three; New Zealand, two; South Africa, three; Canada, Mexico, France, Korea, Thailand, Ireland, one each. The Philippines and Taiwan - both with commercial fisheries and taking new steps to establish abalone aquaculture - do not yet have any. A solitary study on artificial feed and nutrition is conducted by A Q D scientists Myrna Teruel and Oseni Millamena.

The first consideration when formulating feeds is to ensure that the essential amino acids and energy are supplied in sufficient amounts and proportions to meet the animal's needs. AFI entered the abalone market in 1982 and has since successfully launched at least six abalone products (see tables on the next page). In 1993, AFI distributed $2 million worth of farmed abalone to the U.S., Canadian, Japanese, Hong Kong and New Zealand markets.
Fisheries statistics for abalone export-import worldwide are not well organized in a coherent format for the industry, reports AFI's Frank Oakes. Its consumption is almost entirely in canned form, which is not considered a premium product in the Japanese and American markets. The Chinese consider canned abalone to be a prestige item, often presented as a display of wealth or a demonstration of respect.
At the top of the market are Mexico's CalMex brand (H. fulgens) and the South African abalone (H. midae). Japan is the largest consumer of premium quality abalone (live, fresh and frozen). Interested abalone farmers can still learn about the premium abalone market from Japanese consumers.

Premium-quality
The most prized is the black abalone, ezo awabi or Haliotis discus hannai, which is one of eight native species in Japan and is harvested from Ezo Prefecture. Abalone species that compare favorably in appearance and flavor to ezo awabi can also command premium prices. a live flask for the premium market at US$32 per kg," reports Frank Oakes. It had reached high-margin outlets such as resort hotels and competed well with ezo awabi.
34;The influence of China and Southeast Asia will be significant in determining the location and product concepts best suited for future production sites." Abalone meat is removed from the shell and cut into steaks which are very popular. The European abalone species are small (100 g) and aquaculturists can easily produce small abalone.

The issue of abalone aquaculture was discussed in Fishery Journal, August 1992, an 8-page magazine published by Yamaha Motor Co, Ltd of Japan. The proposed Fisheries Code of the Philippine Congress defines municipal waters as 7 kilometers from the shoreline from which boats of 3 gross tons or less may fish. They are familiar with AQD lights, which are close together, the electric cooperative lights are elevated, and lights on the mountain would be the University of the Philippines campus in Miag-ao.
They pay the municipal government more than P150,000 per year for the three-year rights to the coastal area. His research includes the bioenergetics of milkfish, which, Christian noted, makes it different from typical pond studies. Radio TV broadcasters or commentators and news writers are encouraged to quote or rephrase any articles in this section in whole or in part, provided that the source of the material, such as researchers, institutions or publications, is properly cited.
How do you view the progress of aquaculture technology
It is only now that an institutional effort is being made to save the shrimp industry, but it is already quite late. High-density milkfish culture is the new craze, and this may well follow in the footsteps of the shrimp industry. They will try to generate technology on their own if it is not available and this is not a good idea.

Digestive enzymes and the digestive capacity of abalone
Cellulase is found in the intestines of many species of abalone, although they vary in activity levels. Abalone did not easily digest cellulose, but its enzymes could efficiently digest the cell walls of red and brown algae. Similar lipase levels between dietary groups indicate that lipids do not play a significant role in abalone energy metabolism.
