Study Notes
Lipids
- Triglycerides, sterols, fatty acids, and phospholipids are all types of lipids.
- Triglycerides are composed of glycerol and three fatty acids.
Vitamins and Minerals
- Vitamins are organic molecules that act as cofactors or substrates in some metabolic reactions.
- Vitamins are classified as either fat-soluble or water-soluble.
- Lipids, proteins, and minerals are also important nutrients.
Digestive System
- Insulin is important in fish for carbohydrate metabolism.
- The pancreas plays a crucial role in fat digestion.
- The ratio of the length of the digestive tract to body length of fish is known as the relative gut length.
Fatty Acids
- Marine fish oils are dietary sources of essential fatty acids (EFA) of the n-3 series.
- Freshwater fish from cold water have an essential requirement for fatty acids of the n-3 series.
Carbohydrates
- Carbohydrates are a cheap source of energy in aquaculture diets.
- Carbohydrates also function as a binding agent and enhance palatability of feeds.
Vitamins
- Fat-soluble vitamins include vitamins A, D, E, and K.
- Tocopherol is a fat-soluble vitamin.
Energy
- One calorie is equal to 4.184 joules.
Fish Feed
- Wet feeds include whole trash fish, chopped trash fish, and fish silages.
- Milkfish is one of the leading commercial producers of milkfish in the world.
Fisheries Education
- Dr. Deogracias V. Villadolid is known as the father of tilapia sex reversal in the Philippines.
- The University of the Philippines in the Visayas was the first to initiate fisheries education.
Fisheries History
- The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) was established in 1901.
- Tilapia is one of the oldest fish culture practices in the Philippines.
Fish Farming
- Cost of fish production can be improved by improvement of FCR, efficient feed formulation, and proper feeding.
- Sustainable fish farming practices include maintaining water quality, controlling disease, and optimizing feed.
Water Quality
- The suitable range of water pH for fish growth is 6.0-9.0.
- Growth potential of a fish can be exceeded with proper maintenance of growth-related factors.
Parasites
- Lernaea is a type of parasitic crustacean that infects fish.
Fish Biology
- Protogyny is a phenomenon where female species turn into males, commonly seen in the Serranidae family.
- Ice-ice disease is a health condition of seaweed caused by low salinity, temperature, and light intensity.
Fish Pond Design
- Perimeter dike design should be based on sound engineering principles and economic feasibility.
- There are two types of perimeter dike design: for exposed area and for protected area.
Water Management
- Tertiary canals are built primarily for the purpose of protecting the farm from being flooded with runoff water.
- Diversion canals are built to facilitate flow-through systems in intensive farming.
Tides
- Spring tide refers to the highest high waters and lowest low waters.
- Neap tide refers to the average high waters and average low waters.
- Ebb tide refers to the outgoing or falling tide.
- Flood tide refers to the incoming or rising tide.
Tide Measurement
- Tidal range refers to the difference between the highest high water and the lowest low water.
- Tidal period refers to the time interval between two successive high waters or low waters.
Coastal Management
- The sanctioned buffer zone is the area provided for ecological consideration and physical protection against flooding and wave action.
