V. Fish Culture
(Aquaculture)
Definition: Growing fish in controlled
environments.
Methods of Aquaculture:
1. Pond Culture – for Bangus, Tilapia,
Shrimps
2. Pen and Cage Culture – open water
enclosures
3. Integrated Farming – with
crops/livestock
4. RAS – indoor water-saving system
Phases of Fish Culture
1. Fish Cultivation – raising to market size
Extensive - Low cost, low input, natural feeding.
Semi-intensive - Moderate cost, uses supplemental
feeds/fertilizers.
Intensive systems - High input, artificial feeding, high
yield.
2. Fish Propagation – breeding methods
- Natural -Spawning in natural settings.
Semi-natural - Uses hormones to induce spawning
Artificial- Full hormonal control outside normal cycles
3. Fish Conservation – protect populations
- Fish sanctuary: no-fishing zones
Fish Conservation
Protecting fish populations and habitats.
Importance:
Maintains ecosystem balance.
Sustains livelihood and food supply.
Supports scientific research and
biodiversity.
Fish Sanctuary: No-fishing zones that
allow fish populations to recover
VI. Endangered Fish
Species (Philippines)
• Ludong (Cagayan River)
• Lindog, Sirang (Lake Lanao)
• Tawilis, Bia (Taal Lake)
