  • 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.

  • 15.-How-To-Care-For-Fish.Pdf
    MODULE 15: How to care for fish Keeping fish is a satisfying hobby and watching fish swimming in a tank is said to reduce stress. In this module we cover the basics of caring for fish, the difference between tropical, cold water, and marine fish, plus troubleshoot some of the common health problems. 15.1 How to care for fish 15.2 Tropical fish 15.3 Coldwater fish 15.4Marine fish 15.1 How to care for fish First, let's take an overview of fish keeping. As a keeper you are responsible for the tank of water that is the fishes' life support system - get this wrong and quickly you finned-friends become distressed and die. Fish fall into one of three groups: tropical fish, cold water fish, and marine fish. Later is this module we look at the specific needs each group. In this section we now take an overview of the maintenance and care of fish, which is largely the same for each group unless otherwise stated. In addition, if you are a novice but think fish-keeping is for your, these are also a section on "cycling" a brand-new fish tank so that it's a healthy place for your fish to live. Feeding Most of the fish kept in domestic aquariums are fed on flakes or tiny live insects such as water daphnia. How often the fish are fed depends on the type of fish involved. How often to feed Coldwater fish can be fed once a day but tropical fish (with their higher metabolic rate) need twice daily feeding.
