classification:
SHELLFISH consist of…3
crustaceans
molluscs
echinoderms
examples of crustaceans
lobster
crab
shrimp
BARNACLES
shrimp
crustaceans: anatomy
- branchial respiration (chamber?)
- some have shell/exoskeleton (protein, chitin)
2 examples of molluscs
clams
oysters
molluscs: body structure
coleomic animals (often red to cavity that only surrounds heart)
foot (muscle w various functions = locomotion, anchoring, predation)
radula (toothy tongue)
mantle (produces shell)
shell (CaCO3, chitin)
visceral mass (internal organs)
cephalopods - what are they?
molluscan species
- far more advanced than other molluscan species
- e.g. octopus/cuttlefish/squid
AQUACULTURE:
what is it?
name the 2 types of systems
growth and repro of aquatic organisms in controlled/semi controlled env
- freshwater production
- saltwater production
aquaculture systems: 4
ponds
raceways
cages
recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS)
3 types of water management:
flow through
recirculation
batch culture
aquaculture systems: PONDS
most common
enclosed water areas
least intense - dep on natural processes
(salmonids)
aquaculture systems: RACEWAYS
- single pass structure
- above or below ground
- large vols water
- gravity floe
- cement/fobreglass/wood
aquaculture systems: cages
types
- Circular or squared
- Variable sizes
- Soft or hard materials
- Can be marine or freshwater
(salmonids)
legislation
Animal Welfare Act 2006
incl “vertebrate other than man” = fish come under welfare guidelines
