Study Notes
Aquaculture Terms
- Oceanodromous fish: Migratory fish that move within saltwater only.
- Organic fish: Fish produced using organic concepts and natural procedures, minimizing input of artificial man-made compounds.
- Ornamental fish: Small fish, such as koi, which are typically grown to be kept in aquariums or small landscape ponds.
- Overfishing: Detrimental practice of removing more of a natural aquatic species than what natural reproduction can support.
- Pesculator: Fish elevator used for harvesting live fish from pond harvesting pit, to Fish Sorting Machine of Fish Transfer Tanks.
- Pisciculture: Aquaculture; practice involving finned fish.
- Polyculture: A food production system that grows several species simultaneously in the same space, in aquaculture, growing multiple aquatic organisms in the same water body.
Aquaculture Systems
- Pond acreage: Area committed to extensive aquaculture holdings at a fish farm or company.
- Module I Pond design: The conceptual and engineering design of an aquaculture pond, according to the requirements of the crop organism and site conditions, with the aim of achieving cost-effective production and maximum profit.
Fish Migration
- Potamodromous fish: Migratory fish that move within fresh water only.
Fish Processing
- Processing plant: The building structure that houses the processing equipment and auxiliary systems, used in the fish Processing Plant, for the purpose of preparing fish portions prior to marketing.
- Processing equipment include machines for cleaning, sorting, scaling, eviscerating, filleting, trimming, cooling or freezing, and packing fish and fish portions, prior to marketing.
Aquaculture Engineering
- ROI: Return On Investment, an indicator showing the economic rate of return of a capital investment.
Water Quality
- Secchi disk: A plain white, circular disk 30 cm in diameter used to measure water transparency or turbidity in bodies of water.
- Water quality: The characteristics of water, such as water temperature and contamination, which define its ability to sustain life and its purity from chemicals.
Sex Reversal in Fish
- Sex reversal: Reversing the sex of males or females in fish can be accomplished by hormone application at the larval stages, from day 2-to 20 after hatching.
Aquaculture Production
- In 2002, the combined production of milkfish and tilapia of 364,289 tonnes represented 8-9% of total animal meat consumption.
- The prospects for further increasing aquaculture production are enormous.
- Over a ten-year period, milkfish and tilapia prices increased by an average of 3.4% and 1.7% respectively.
Employment in Aquaculture
- 258,480 people have been employed in aquaculture since 1987.
- The industry estimates employment generation to be higher.
- In the seaweed industry alone, the Seaweed Industry Association of the Philippines (SIAP) claims that in 2002, 1,017,925 individuals were engaged in seaweed farming.
- In 2002, SIAP reported export earnings of US$138,438,853 from seaweeds.
