A dynamic simulation model for the blooming of Oscillatoria agardhii in a monomictic lake
(Elsevier, 1995-01-15)The occurrence of phytoplankton blooms is a common problem in water bodies. The quantitative description of the algal population growth is of primary importance to understand the mechanisms which lead to these phytoplankton ... -
Efecto de la fitasa en el aprovechamiento del fósforo en dietas para tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Resultados preliminares.
(UNICIENCIA, 2001-06-01)Con el fin de evaluar si mediante la adición de la enzima fitasa se puede aumentar la cantidad de fósforo (P) disponible en dietas comerciales de tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) y con ello reducir su excreción al medio, ... -
Organic matter sedimentation and resuspension in tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) ponds during a production cycle
(2002-07-01)The rates of sedimentation and resuspension of organic carbon and total nitrogen were measured in earthen fishponds, based on nutrient input, water quality parameters and fish size and biomass. Material collected in ... -
Conceptualization and validation of a dynamic model for the simulation of nitrogen transformations and fluxes in fish ponds
(Elsevier, 2002-11-01)Nitrogen is a key element in aquatic environments and an important pond management variable. In aquaculture systems, nitrogen accumulation eventually leads to a deterioration of the system. The interactions between various ... -
Distribución y abundancia de Caiman crocodilus en el Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre Caño Negro, Costa Rica
(Revista de Biología Tropical vol.51 no.2 571-578 2003, 2003)The distribution and abundance of a population of Caiman crocodilus fuscus were estimated by monthly counting of eyeshines at night, from February 1999 to March 2000 in six transects of Río Frío in the Caño Negro National ... -
Growth of Oreochromis aureus fed with diets containing graded levels of coffee pulp and reared in two culture systems
(Aquaculture vol.217 no.1-4 275-283 2003, 2003)A study was conducted to compare growth and feed utilization of Oreochromis aureus fed graded levels of coffee pulp (CoP) and reared in aquaria or in pens. Diets contained 0, 130, 260 and 390 g kg 1 of oven-dried CoP. ... -
Induction of sperm activation in open and closed thelycum penaeoid shrimps
(Aquaculture vol.216 no.1-4 371-381 2003, 2003)A modified egg water (EW) technique for in vitro induction of sperm activation was applied to Trachypenaeus byrdi, Xiphopenaeus riveti (closed thelycum shrimps), and Litopenaeus occidentalis (open thelycum) from a tropical ... -

(Revista de Biología Tropical, 2004-12-01)Three experiments were conducted to analyze the effect of the probiotic Bacillus subtilis on the growth of juvenile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). The experiments were ... -
Nitrogen budget and fluxes in Colossoma macropomum ponds
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2005-07-01)This study quanti¢ed the accumulation of nitrogen (N) in the water column, sediments, ¢sh and seepage water during a production cycle of Colossoma macropomum. By combining estimates of the deposition rates of uneaten feed, ... -
Effect of organic nitrogen and carbon mineralization on sediment organic matter accumulation in fish ponds
(Aquaculture Research, 2005-07-01)In aquaculture, ponds with high loads of organic inputs, organic matter accumulates at the bottom over time. Uneaten feed, senescent phytoplankton and faeces are the principal sources of accumulated material, but quanti¢cations ... -
