Basic knowledge for fish cultivation

       For the cultivation of fish, a fish farmer must have knowledge about the physiology and biology of fish. The knowledge of the physiology of fish to be cultivated is important to have that fish farmers can determine maintenance techniques, characteristics and types of fish feed to be given. Some fish species may have different need for types of feed or maintenance of cultivation media or environments.

FISH CULTURE SYSTEM

              Fish farming system is a function or interaction of components consisting of fishes, feed and environment. Nowadays, Culture systems is also known as aquaculture. Aquaculture is an activity to maintain the aquatic organisms in the controlled environment in order to get profit. Aquaculture or fish farming can be defined as human intervention (human efforts) to improve water productivity by aquaculture activities. Aquaculture activities are maintenance activities referred to reproduce (reproduction), growth (growth), as well as improve the quality of aquatic organisms to obtain profits.


              Aquaculture technology involves the production of container construction activities, the selection of the location of cultivation, the determination of cropping patterns, use of seed and the right stocking density (stocking density), suitable quantity, quality, time and manner of feeding, pest and disease control, water management, monitoring , harvesting and post harvest handling.
Aquaculture covers all aquatic organisms such as fish, shrimp, shelled animals or shellfish, algae and echinoderms.
