BABYLON SHELL

LATIN NAME: BABYLONIA  AEROLATA

 

Introduction

Babylonia areolata is an aquatic mollusk in the genus of the gastropod family Buccinidae. Buccinidae  mollusks live in almost every habitat, including deep-sea vents, coral reefs, estuaries, rocky and sandy shorelines, freshwater lakes, rivers and almost everywhere on land from deserts to rainforests (Lydeard and Lindberg, 2003).

This species distributes from Ceylon and the Nicobar Islands through the Gulf of Thailand, along the Vietnamese, Chinese coasts to Taiwan (Altena and Gittenberger, 1981) and inhabits sandy or muddy bottoms in shallow water. Economically, mollusks have Figureured prominently in fisheries and mariculture, being used as food (e.g., clams,scallops, abalone, calamari and conch) and commercial pearl production (Landman going to be a target species of commercial fisheries in Thailand. At present, catches are decreasing and the size of mollusk obtained from the Thai , Viet coasts is small, therefore aquaculture has increasingly attempted to supply the market and the enhancement of stock. There are three different shell colors (brown, cream and white) of , ivory shell is a gastropod familyet al., 2001) Babylonia areolata is found in the Gulf of Thailand. Different shell colors have different values (Figure 1). The brown shell has the highest price while the white shell has the lowest price. There is a big export demand for brown shells to countries such as China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Japan.

Caulerpa lentillifera is one of the favored species of edible Caulerpa due to its soft and succulent texture. They are also known as sea grapes, green caviar, “ar-arosep“, or “lato” in the Philippines. C. lentillifera is farmed in the Philippines and in Okinawa where the plant is eaten fresh.

Umi-budō served Okinawan style

The pond cultivation of C. lentillifera has been very successful on Mactan Island, . About 400 ha of ponds are under cultivation, producing 12-15 tonnes of fresh seaweed per hectare per year. C. lentillifera is also eaten in Okinawa, where it is known as umi-budō, meaning “sea grapes”.

C. lentillifera is usually eaten raw as a snack or in a salad.

TIGER PRAWN

Penaeus monodon (common names include giant tiger prawn, jumbo tiger prawn, black tiger prawn, leader prawn, sugpo and grass prawn) is a marine crustacean that is widely reared for food. The natural distribution is Indo-West-Pacific, ranging from the eastern coast of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, as far as South-east Asia, and the Sea of Japan. They can also be found in eastern Australia, and a small number have colonised the Mediterranean Sea via the Suez Canal. Further invasive populations have become established in Hawaii and the Atlantic coast of the USA (Florida, Georgia and South Carolina).

Both sexes reach approximately 36 centimetres (14 in) long, and females can weigh up to 650 grams (23 oz), making it the world’s largest species of prawn.

P. monodon is the most widely cultured prawn species in the world, although it is gradually losing ground to the whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei. Over 900,000 tonnes are consumed annually, two-thirds of it coming from farming, chiefly in south-east Asia.

Sustainable consumption

In 2010, Greenpeace added Penaeus monodon to its seafood red list – “a list of fish that are commonly sold in supermarkets around the world, and which have a very high risk of being sourced from unsustainable fisheries”. We only supply high quality, no chinese pellets for food, and bred sustainable.

WHITE SHRIMP 

Whiteleg shrimp

LATIN NAME: Penaeus vannamei

Whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei, formerly Penaeus vannamei), also known as Pacific white shrimp, is a variety of prawn (not shrimp) of the eastern Pacific Ocean commonly caught or farmed for food. It is the major species of farmed shrimp. Whiteleg shrimp are native to the eastern Pacific, from Sonora in Mexico to northern Peru. The main sources of whiteleg shrimp are Ecuador, Mexico and Brazil. Whiteleg shrimp sold in the U.S. market are primarily from Mexico and Ecuador. A small amount of whiteleg shrimp is now farmed in the U.S.  Commercial  culture of Vannamei is very profitable. It can be harvested in short duration of 45 days

Sustainable consumption

In 2010, Greenpeace International has added the whiteleg shrimp (Pacific white shrimp) to its seafood red list. “The Greenpeace International seafood red list is a list of fish that are commonly sold in supermarkets around the world, and which have a very high risk of being sourced from unsustainable fisheries.”

SNOOT OTTER CLAMS:

LATIN NAME: Lutraria rhynchaena

PRODUCTION:

The theme “perfecting production technology process in the artificial production of snout otter clam seed and commercial snout otter clam in Khanh Hoa Province.” was conducted by Engineer Tran Trung Thanh, from August 2006 to August 2008. He said that the Research Institute for Aquaculture No. III has succeeded in the artificial production of snout otter clam seed and commercial snout otter clam. We brought 20,000 snout otter clam seeds to Diep Son (Van Thanh, Van Ninh District) to breed commercial Snout otter clams.”

BVS buys in KHANH HOA province (Vietnam)young snout otter clams and breed them in epoxy ponds. They’re fed with spiruline.

SIZE / WEIGHT:

SMALL SIZE:     syphon lenght = 10 cm

MEDIUM SIZE :   syphon lenght = 20 cm

Its scientific name is Lutraria rhynchaena (Jonas,1844). Snout otter clam (Latraria philippinarum Reeve) is a bivalve species distributing in high salinity seawaters.

The habitat is relatively stable with salinity ranging from 17-48%o, temperature from 12-37%o. The shell is big and has oval shape. When the two shell close, the anterior and the posterior are not tight. The shell skin is very thin, of brown yellow color and easily peeled off, exposing the interior layer of the shell. On the shell there are no radiation edges.

According to research, snout otter clams are distributed in some Asian countries such as China, Thailand, Philippines and Vietnam. In 2001, snout otter clams were discovered in Van Phong Bay with a perspective of about 3-5 ton/ year. The snout otter clams found here are bigger than those in Quang Ninh Province. According to fishermen in Van Phong Bay, snout otter clams stick to shallow coastal waters of 5-10m in depth. In Vietnam, some researches of producing snout otter clam seeds by using chemicals, inducing egg release by increasing and reducing temperature and causing thermal shock

In 2005, the Research Institute for Aquaculture No. III did a research on producing snout otter clam seeds. As a result, 2-3mm snout otter clam seeds are produced with a survival rate of 2-3%. After a research on artificial culture process, the figure has reached 5-6%. The survival rate has been highly estimated, according to Engineer Tran Trung Thanh.

This is species of high economic value. Its meat is fragrant, delicious and rich in protein. However, the resource is declining due to excessive exploitation. The discovery of Snout otter clam in Van Phong Bay in recent years shows that this place is its suitable habitat. The species can be used to filter and clean water as they feed on organic particles discarded from the breeding of lobsters, groupers…

GROUPER FISH

LATIN NAME: Epinephelus tauvina

Name ,origin

The word “grouper” comes from the word for the fish, most widely believed to be from the Portuguese name, garoupa. The origin of this name in Portuguese is believed to be from an indigenous South American language.

In Australia, the name “Groper” is used instead of “Grouper” for several species, such as the Queensland groper (Epinephelus lanceolatus). In the Philippines, it is named lapu-lapu in Luzon while in the Visayas and Mindanao it goes by the name pugapo. In New Zealand, “groper” refers to a type of wreckfish, Polyprion oxygeneios, which goes by the Māori name of hāpuku. In the Middle East, the fish is known as Hammour, and is widely eaten, especially in the Persian Gulf region.

In the United States, grouper are often found in waters off Florida.

Description

Groupers are teleosts, typically having a stout body and a large mouth. They are not built for long-distance fast swimming. They can be quite large, and leng
