00. Ocean Decade - Philippines

Permanent URI for this communityhttps://repository.unesco.gov.ph/handle/123456789/7

The UNACOM Online and Digital Enabling Library and Index is developed to support the alignment of research, investments, and community initiatives toward contributing to a well-functioning, productive, resilient, sustainable, and inspiring ocean. The goal is to enable the government, partner agencies, and UNESCO to develop more robust Science-Informed Policies and facilitate a stronger Science-Policy Interface through the gathered data, information, and knowledge related to the Ocean Decade in the Philippines.

Particularly, it aims to:
  • Gather and index all publications, reports, policies, laws, legislations, articles, and other documents of the Philippine National Committee on Marine Sciences (NCMS) related to the Ocean Decade.
  • Disseminate and promote these publications, reports, policies, and other documents on the initiatives and actions to address the Ocean Decade challenges.

    Notes on the induced spawning and larval rearing of the Asian moon scallop, Amusium pleuronectes (Linné), in the laboratory
    Belda, C. A.; Del Norte, A. G. C. (Elsevier, 1988-08)
    Sexual and chemical stimulations were effective in inducing the scallop, Amusium pleuronectes (Linné), to spawn sperm only, whereas thermal stimulation was not at all successful. Chemical stimulation consisted of serotonin injections into the ripe gonads. Fertilizable eggs were obtained by stripping gametes from the ovaries. Cleavage of zygotes (72.4 μm mean diameter) occured 1 h after fertilization. Trochophores (58.9–111.2 μm in length) and straight-hinge veligers or D-veligers (80.0–130.2 μm) were observed in less than 24 h. Five days after fertilization, the umbone stage (101.6–169.1 μm) was reached. Crawling pediveligers (174.0–250.0 μm) appeared after 9 days. Seawater in the culture vessels was changed 24 h after fertilization and every other day thereafter. The larvae were fed on Isochrysis galbana (Tahitian strain) at an initial concentration of 30 cells/gml.
