    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • API® Lesson 4 | Understanding Fish Mouth Types
    API® Lesson 4 | Understanding Fish Mouth Types This lesson plan provides a basic understanding of different types of mouths in fish. The position of the mouth can be an indication of feeding habits. Based on the type of mouth one can then determine the preferred location used to secure food. The shape of the mouth such as elongated, spear-like, or tubular can also shed light on feeding habits. For Instructor/Teacher/Parent Make sure to read through the entire lesson plan before beginning this with students/family members as materials needed for this lesson are an aquarium to observe, and paper and pencil for drawing. Learning Objectives After completing the activities outlined in this lesson plan, students should be able to: • Provide definition and description of varying fish mouth types • Preferred location of fish for feeding based on mouth type • Examples of teeth in fish • Basic understanding of sensory organs and purpose in and around the mouth Length This activity will take about 2 hours for completion of this exercise. Materials • Freshwater aquarium with a few varieties of fish (top, middle and bottom feeder fish) • Paper/Sketch Pad • Pencil to sketch fish mouth images • Three different food types o Floating food, such as API TROPICAL FLAKES o Sinking food, such as API BOTTOM FEEDER SINKING PELLETS o Bottom wafer-like food, such as API ALGAE EATER WAFERS Key Terms Review key terms (printable sheet included at the end of the lesson) with students/family members. 1) Terminal Mouth 2) Superior Mouth 3) Inferior Sub-Terminal Mouth 4) Barbels 5) Suction Mouth 6) Protrusible Mouth Warm Up Ask a couple of questions to warm up for the lesson: 1) Do you currently have any fish? Can you identify different mouth shapes? 2) What location in the aquarium do you typically see your fish intake their food? 3) What type of food do your fish eat? Before You Start 1.

Infusoria were cultured using vegetables (Brassica pekinensis and Brassica International Islamic University chinensis) and dry fish meal with 30 ppt, 15 ppt saline water and freshwater in 40 liter aquaria. In the 30 Malaysia, Malaysia and 15 ppt aquaria, Euplotes sp. was the dominant species and cell sizes were 60–80 µm. The densities of Euplotes sp. were 400–500 individuals/ml in the 30 ppt aquaria and 800-1300 individuals/ml in the 15 MZ Sani, Department of Biotechnology, ppt aquaria. In both conditions, the high densities were maintained for 13 days. The densities of protozoa Kulliyyah of Science, in saline water were higher in 15 ppt than in 30 ppt aquaria.
