The Rate of algae (lumut) production in the dagat-dagatan salt-water fishery experimental station fishponds / Herminio R. Rabanal [and five others].

Includes bibliographical references

Lumut is the Tagalog term used to designate the assemblage of fitamentous green algae (Chlorophyceae) sometimes intermingled with filamentous blue-green algae (Myxophyceae) growing in brackish and salt-water ponds and composing the main bulk of the natural food of cultivated bañgos, or milkfish, Chanos chanos (Forskål). The following experiment on lumut is intended to provide a method of estimating the total production of the algae per unit area under conditions obtaining in Philippine milkfish ponds. This should provide a basis in estimating the bañgos productivity in fishpond projects. Experimental work was un¬dertaken from November 1, 1949 to February 27, 1950 and from July 31, 1950 to October 30, 1950 at the Dagat-dagatan Salt-Water Fishery Experimental Station, Malabon-Navotas, Rizal Province, Luzon.
