Swim bladder – to store and concentrate the bile
Kidneys – filter out liquid
Stomach and intestines
Pyloric caeca – organ that resembles thin
Liver – important organ for fish
Heart – circulates blood throughout the body
Muscels – provide movement of fish
Gonads – sexual gland of fish and locomotion

Fish Culture

Fish propagation – natural and artificial methods
- Natural – fish does not interfere
- Artificial – made possible by injecting hormones
Fish cultivation – rearing of fish
Fish conservation – the public control

Commonly cultured fish in ponds

Tilapia – fish that obtains rooturity
Milkfish – this is silvery fish of the open seas
Carp – has double barbels at the mouth

Fish Processing/Preservation

Methods to use in fish curing
Methods used in the Philippines
- Salting
- Drying
- Fermentation
Salting – process of preservation of fish
- Dry Salting – directly applying salt to the fish
- Brine Salting – solution of salt and water
- Salting to make brine – similar to drying and salting smaller fish
Fermentation – salting smaller fish
Drying – oldest method of preservation of fish
- Sun drying – spread on tray or grid
- Artificial heat – exposure to hot air or radiation
- Air blast – dried by means of a fan run by electric
