2) Aquaculture (1) Flashcards
The farming of aquatic organisms in inland and coastal areas, involving intervention in the rearing process to enhance production and the individual or corporate ownership of the stock being cultivated (FAO)
Aquaculture
Fisheries operations involving all forms of raising and culturing fish and other fishery species in fresh, brackish, and marine water areas (RA 8550)

- china - 61%
- indonesia - 8%
- india - 6%
- viet nam - 3%
- philippines - 3%
Aquaculture can be classified according to the following:
- aquatic environment
- species cultured
- systems/structures utilized
- level of intensity
Aquaculture can be classified according to what?
- aquatic environment
- species cultured
- systems/structurs utilized
- level of intensity
Classification of aquaculture according to level of intensity
- Backyard aquaculture
- Extensive aquaculture
- Intensive aquaculture
- Semi-intensive aquaculture
- Super-intensive aquaculture
Classification of aquaculture according to species cultured
- shrimp aquaculture
- finfish aquaculture
- seaweed culture
- bivalve culture
- etc.
- Monoculture or polyculture
classification of aquaculture according to systems/structures utilized
- pens
- raceways
- tanks
- cages
- ponds
Rate at which energy/biomass is produced per unit area over a specifide period of time (i.e. kcal/m2/year or tons/hectare/year)
Productivity
Measuring Primary Productivity
Chlorophyll Method
Light and Dark Bottle Method (measuring oxygen produced)
Chlorophyll Method
The amount of a given activity that can be accommodated within the environmental capacity of a defined area
Carrying Capacity
the maximum quantity of fi sh that any particular body of water can support over a long period without negative effects to the fish and to the environment (maximum standing crop).
carrying capacity in aquaculture
carrying capacity can be increased through
- fertilization
- supplemental feeding
- aeration
- maintenance of water quality.
Nutrients are added to aquaculture systems in order to ___ and ___.
- augment the carrying capacity
- increase productivity
Nutrients are supplied via
the application of fertilizers (either organic or inorganic)
major nutrients
- Nitrogen (N)
- Phosphorus (P)
- Potassium (K)
different forms of nitrogen
- Nitrogen gas (N2)
- ammonia (NH4)
- nitrite (NO2)
- nitrate (NO3)
Phosphorus are present in natural waters as
- orthophosphate
- undifferentiated organic phosphates
In soil, P is most available between pH
pH 5.5 and 7
Potassium is important in
osmoregulation and other metabolic processes in plants
