Tilapia Production
- The top producing region of tilapia in the Philippines is the Central Luzon area.
Species Differences
- Indigenous species refer to organisms that originated and evolved in a specific region, while introduced species are those brought from other regions by human activity.
- Native species are naturally occurring in a region, while endemic species are native and restricted to a particular geographic area.
Morphological Differences
- Arborescent organ: A type of structure resembling a tree; often found in certain aquatic organisms.
- Labyrinth organ: A specialized respiratory structure found in some fish that enables them to absorb oxygen from the air.
Aquaculture Methods
- Pen culture involves raising fish in enclosed areas within a body of water, where water flows freely, allowing for exchange within the aquatic environment.
- Cage culture entails enclosing fish in floating cages, offering controlled environments while still connected to natural water.
Protein Measurement
- Crude protein (CP) refers to the total protein content in feed, including both digestible and indigestible fractions.
Regulatory Coverage
- Good Aquaculture Practices (GAqP) cover the nurturing and management practices in aquaculture to promote sustainable production.
Aquatic Environments
- Lotic environments are moving water ecosystems such as rivers and streams.
- Lentic environments are still water ecosystems like lakes and ponds.
Fish Species Details
