Intro & Definitions
“An activity leading to the harvesting of fish”
What is fisheries?
Bringing back species that were depleted by humans.
What is species restoration?
What happens to ammonia toxicity as pH increases.
What is increases?
Extensive aquaculture usually used to grow shellfish or algae.
What are longlines?
Genus and species
What is a scientific name?
The cultivation (farming) of aquatic organisms in a controlled aquatic environment
What is aquaculture?
To provide an alternate protein source.
What is food source?
Water quality parameters tested weekly.
What are ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate?
Can be extensive or semi-intensive. Minimal infrastructure & lower cost. Species grown depends on environmental factors.
What are ponds?
Broad of filtration that physically removes waste from a system.
What is mechanical filtration?
A form of intervention in the rearing process to enhance production, such as regular stocking, feeding, protection from predators, etc.
What is farming?
Providing fish for fishermen.
What is recreational?
What happens to ammonia toxicity as temperature increases.
What is increases?
Intensive aquaculture that is high cost, high infrastructure, but can grow a variety of species.
What is RAS?
The levels of classification in a taxonomic pyramid in order.
What are Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species?
The first fish recorded to have been aquacultured.
What is a carp?
Any organism that has been kept for the purpose of display, decoration or as a pet.
What is ornamental?
The amount of thio needed to be added to 100L of tap water.
What is 0.35g?
High flow rate, decline in W.Q. as you progress down the system, and species are limited by environmental factors.
What is a raceway?
A tank that holds dirty water in a RAS and does not contain fish.
What is a sump?
The four kinds of aquatic organisms that are aquacultured.
What are finfish, shellfish, crustaceans, and algae?
To further scientific understanding in different fields such as ecology, medicine, and animal behavior.
What is research?
ppm unit equivalent
What is mg/L?
System that is fully submerged in open water, normally holding large finfish, and species are dependent on environmental factors.
What is a sea cage?
Plastic spheres with high amounts of surface area to hold bacteria.
What is biomedia?
