  • 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.

Light is in fact electromagnetic radiation and is based on photons, the carrier of all wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. The length of these wavelengths are expressed in nanometers (nm), 1 nanometer equaling 1 billionth of a meter. Every wavelength is represented by a different colour. The sun is yellow because its light is most powerful at the visible wavelength of yellow. There are many wavelengths beyond visible light, some of them shorter and some of them longer, all together they compose the electromagnetic spectrum. The shortest wavelengths of the spectrum are in fact the most powerful, starting with gamma rays, followed by X-rays, then ultraviolet light, and then visible light which represents a very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Light, in the form of the sun, is the source of all energy on our planet. Along with water it forms one of the basic requirements for life to flourish. Via photosynthesis, light provides food for plants and corals, as well as oxygen for animals to breathe. Rather more obviously, light also allows us to see, and can be used to alter and improve the appearance of objects. In the context of an artificial habitat such as an aquarium, light should be one of the most important considerations. Not only does it provide nutrients for optimum plant and coral growth, but it can also be used to make colours stand out and even to create a dramatic visual effect within the display.
