| dc.description.abstract | The main activity of the author in the field practice was about the analysis of the gut contents of the sea urchin (Tripneustes gratilla) at the University of the Philippines-Marine Science Institute (UP - MSI) in Quezon City and Bolinao Marine Laboratory (BML) at Pangasinan which lasted for 6 weeks on June 15, 2016 to July 27, 2016. The UP - MSI was directed by Dr. Fernando Siringan, while the Laboratory was headed by Dr. Antonette J. Meñez. The author was supervised by Ms. Helen Grace P. Bangi, a PhD student at UP - MSI under Dr. Meñez. For the focus of the field practice, the author had the gut separated from the contents, blot-dried the gut, weighed and recorded the weight of the guts. The gut contents which are soaked in formalin were placed in small petri plates with grids and were carefully examined under a dissecting microscope. Each of the contents were identified, counted with the use of tally counter and laptop and were recorded in the record book. The author also had other activities undertaken, namely; evaluation of somatic growth of T. gratilla, the culture of Chaetoceros calcitrans, and the induced spawning of T. gratilla. The strengths and weaknesses of were observed by the author throughout the duration of the field practice. | |
