    UNIT 21: AQUATICS AND FISHKEEPING Unit 21: Aquatics and Fishkeeping Unit code: J/503/1723 QCF level: 5 Credit value: 15 x Aim This unit aims to develop learner understanding of fish biology, aquatic invertebrates and aquatic management, as well as their practical skills in maintaining of aquatic species in appropriate conditions. x Unit abstract In this unit learners will explore the factors that an aquarium employee or ornamental fish farmer need to understand. The unit focuses on the work involved at an aquarium, aquatic centre, specialist pet centre or similar, and the ideas in this unit are major considerations for this area of the industry. Certain aquaria around the world use these skills to support species on the verge of collapse and, as such, have developed in-depth breeding programmes. Examples of the skills developed in this unit can be seen around the world for example an aquarium in California has been able to establish Scorpion fish in captivity, a species notoriously difficult to breed, by applying a knowledge of water requirements and health management strategies. x Learning outcomes On successful completion of this unit a learner will: 1 Understand the taxonomy and biology of ornamental aquatic species 2 Be able to establish, monitor and interpret freshwater and marine community aquaria and ponds 3 Understand appropriate aquatic health management strategies 4 Understand procedures and practices relating to the acquisition, transportation, holding and supply of aquatic organisms.

We are fortunate to be able to appreciate this beauty without fear of debilitating the reefs, thanks to an increasingly responsible sustainable marine trade, supplemented by captive-breeding programs. The latter is a subject close to our own hearts, having successfully reared the first Percula clown fishes in captivity in the UK in the 1970's. However, beauty comes at a price, these stunning creatures are more complex to keep in captivity than freshwater fish and so require investment in additional equipment….but we are confident we can help you achieve this with the Waterlife SeAquarium range.

  • Takifugu Niphobles
    Joseph Fratello Marine Biology Professor Tudge 10/16/17 Takifugu niphobles Introduction: The Takifugu niphobles or ​ ​ ​ the Grass Puffer is a small fish that resides in the shallow waters of the Northwest Pacific Ocean. The scientific name of the fish comes from the japanese words of taki meaning waterfall and fugu meaning venomous fish (Torres, Armi G., et al). The Takifugu niphobles is part of the ​ ​ family Tetraodontidae which encompasses all puffer fish and are known for their ability to inflate like a balloon. The fish do this by quickly sucking water into their stomachs causing them to inflate and causing the flat lying spines which cover their bodies to become erect. Their diets consist of a wide array of small crustaceans and mollusks (Practical Fishkeeping, 2010). Takifugu ​ niphobles are one of the two most common fish in the Northwest Pacific Ocean and are ​ often accidently caught by fishermen who employ the bottom longline technique (Shao K, et al., 2014). The sale of these fish, including other puffers, are banned in japanese markets due to their highly toxic nature. Yet, puffer fish are considered a japanese delicacy despite the fact that a wrong cut of meat can kill a fully grown man. Upwards of thirty to fifty people are affected by the toxin every year and chefs must undergo two years of training before they can legally sell the fish (Dan Bloom 2015). These fish have a very unique means of reproduction, in which they swim towards the shore and lay their eggs on the beach. The fish then, with the help of the waves, beach themselves and fertilize these eggs.

  • Back to Nature Natural Reef Aquarium Methodology by Mike Paletta (Aquarium USA 2000 Annual)
    Back To Nature Natural Reef Aquarium Methodology by Mike Paletta (Aquarium USA 2000 annual) The reef hobby, that part of the aquarium hobby that has arguably experienced the most change, is ironically also an example of the axiom that the more things change the more they remain the same. During the past 10 years we have seen almost constant change in reefkeeping practices, and, in many instances, complete reversal of opinions as to which techniques or practices are the best. We have gone from not feeding our corals directly to feeding them, from using some type of substrate to none at all and then back again, and, finally, we have run the full gamut from using a lot of technology to little or none. It is this last change, commonly referred to as the "back to nature" or natural approach, that many hobbyists are now choosing to follow. Advocates of natural methodologies have been around since the 1960s, when the first "reefkeeper," Lee Chin Eng, initiated many of the concepts and techniques that are fundamental to successful reefkeeping. Mr. Eng lived near the ocean in Indonesia and used many of the materials that were readily available to him from this source. "Living stones," which have come to be known as live rock, were used in his systems as the main source of biological filtration. He also used natural seawater and changed it on a regular basis. His tanks were situated so they would receive several hours of direct sunlight each day, which kept them well illuminated. The only technology he used was a small air pump, which bubbled slowly into the tank.

  • Aquacultue OPEN COURSE: NOTES PART 1
    OPEN COURSE AQ5 D01 ORNAMENTAL FISH CULTURE GENERAL INTRODUCTION An aquarium is a marvelous piece of nature in an enclosed space, gathering the attraction of every human being. It is an amazing window to the fascinating underwater world. The term ‘aquarium’is a derivative of two words in Latin, i.e aqua denoting ‘water’ and arium or orium indicating ‘compartment’. Philip Henry Gosse, an English naturalist, was the first person to actually use the word "aquarium", in 1854 in his book The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea. In this book, Gosse primarily discussed saltwater aquaria. Aquarium or ornamental fish keeping has grown from the status of a mere hobby to a global industry capable of generating international exchequer at considerable levels. History shows that Romans have kept aquaria (plural for ‘aquarium’) since 2500 B.C and Chinese in 1278-960 B.C. But they used aquaria primarily for rearing and fattening of food fishes. Chinese developed the art of selective breeding in carp and goldfish, probably the best known animal for an aquarium. Ancient Egyptians were probably the first to keep the fish for ornamental purpose. World’s first public aquarium was established in Regents Park in London in 1853. Earlier only coldwater fishes were kept as pets as there was no practical system of heating which is required for tropical freshwater fish. The invention of electricity opened a vast scope of development in aquarium keeping. The ease of quick transportation and facilities for carting in temperature controlled packaging has broadened the horizon for this hobby.
