DocumentImproving farmers' resilience and income diversification in flood and typhoon prone areas through backyard Tilapia farming, Philippines 2013
Also available in:
No results found.This technology refers to the grow-out tilapias using modified farming practices in the farmer’s backyard as a means to augment farmer’s income and food requirements. It should be noted that tilapia is widely known and accepted food fish not only in land-locked areas, but also in coastal areas. Tilapia is specifically recommended as a candidate species because tilapias are hardy, fast growing and disease resistant species. They are also prolific and able to breed in captivity. They also feed low in food chain. Therefore an appropriate farmed species in flood and typhoon-prone areas in Bicol. -

Seaweed Production Development
1993Also available in:
No results found.The paper is on experimental farming trials carried out in Sorsogon Bay and the eastern coastal areas of Sorsogon, the Philippines, using Gracilaria species found in the area. Four major Gracilaria species - G. firma (=G. fisheri), G. fastigiata, G. cylindrica (=G. changii) and G. tenuistipitata - were recognised and used in the trials. Fixed bottom monoline (10 × 10 meter plot), floating raft monoline (5 × 5 meter) and pond (in brackish water fish pond) farming trials at 18 localities in the ar ea were conducted. Three environmental conditions were identified : high salinity/ clear water/ firm substrate; high salinity/ semi-clear water/ sandy-mud substrate; and low salinity/ semi-clear water/ muddy substrate. Under optimum environmental condition during early part of year, an average daily percentage growth rate for G. fastigiata, G. firma, G. cylindrica and G. tenuistipitata was observed to be 9.0%, 8.7%, 9.1% and 11.2% respectively from monoline farming trials. For G. fastigiata and G. firma, an average weight attained after 54 days of growing period with initial average individual seed plant of 35.3 grams and 51.0 grams were recorded as 505.2 grams and 1,005.8 grams respectively from fixed bottom monoline farming trials.
