No results found.This is the first of a three volumes field guide that covers the species of interest to fisheries of the major marine resources groups exploited in the Western Central Atlantic. The area of coverage includes FAO Fishing Area 31. The marine resources groups included in this volume are the bivalves, gastropods, cephalopods stomatopods, shrimps, lobsters, crabs, hagfishes, sharks, batoid fishes and chimaeras. The introductory chapter outlines the environmental, ecological and biogeographical factor s influencing the marine biota and the basic components of the fisheries in the Western Central Atlantic.

No results found.This report gives an account of penaeid shrimp culture development work including postlarval production, nursery rearing and pond culture. The postlarval culture method was established for Penaeus monodon and P. merguiensis using different types of culture vessels. The total number of postlarvae produced in 1975 was 580 300 and production has increased to over 4 million in 1977; this figure will be rapidly increased in 1978 from induced gonad maturation and spawning. The highest P. monodon postl arvae per brood in a 10 m3 tank was achieved by producing 375 000 with 73 percent survival, and 320 000 with 52 percent survival for P. merguiensis. Mass-culture systems of phytoplankton and rotifers were established for larval food organisms. The particulated soybean curd and rotifers were used for the larval diet to substitute for Artemia nauplii. Artemia will still be needed for a better survival rate. Various types of nursery methods were experimented on formulated diet and on natural food in ponds; the optimal nursery stocking densities were determined. A series of pond culture results indicated that interim fish extermination by using 7 ppm derris root extract was effective. The annual shrimp production in pond projected from preliminary results indicated that 600 kg per ha per year is possible, utilizing natural productivity with the fertilization but no feeding. This phase of the work needs to be repeated. Based on the experiments, recommendations are outlined for f urther work to increase production.
