Eggs are hatched, raised, and then sold at day 21 or older. Natural food (Chlorella, Brachionus, Artemia) are fed to the larvae, enriching the rotifer and Artemia in particular with highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) and Vitamin C.

AQD's
Work on
Milkfish |
|
AQD has had over 30 years of
research and extension work on milkfish, from the development of
broodstock technology; to induction of spawning and larval
rearing since 1977; regular spontaneous spawning of broodstock
in captivity during the breeding season since 1980; completion
of life cycle in captivity in 1983; development of techniques
for collection of spawned eggs in seacages in 1986; natural
spawning in concrete tanks in 1990; formulation of effective
larval diet in 1995 and broodstock diet in 1997.
AQD provided the technology to the
Philippine government's National Bangus Breeding Program that
was started in 1981 until it was privatized in 1995. Training courses on
milkfish hatchery were offered as early as 1984; and the first commercial
hatchery mass-produced fry in 1991. After that, the technology
was transferred to more private hatcheries. |
