Fish Cultivation in Confined Land

Fish Cultivation in Confined Land

With the new method, carp can now be grown in a narrow area, such as in the yard or the corner, home.

The notion that the cultivation of carp to be done in the vast wetland is now living myth.

Today carp can be cultivated in any location, whether in rural or urban, in the pool tarp, plastic or tub.

That way, carp can be an alternative to people who want to earn extra income on the land around their homes.

Fisheries Society Archipelago (PERMINA) Cultivation Training will hold a carp on a narrow land-based Guba biotic System Based Probiotic on Sunday, March 6, 2011 in Kampung carp Jambida, Bantul. Yogyakarta, With a practical resource, Kalimantan, Java carp tissue holder, carp farmers, and agribusiness consultant.

Besides the introduction to the basics of carp cultivation correctly, in Gubug PERMINA Training is focused on direct practice in the pool, good pond, nesting, breeding and rearing, so they can run interactive and applicable.

Training is open to the public, may be followed by anyone, retirees, employees, housewives, youth clubs, preachers, teachers and scholars of rural driving

Koi Care: How to Take Care of Your Aquatic Pet

Koi Care: How to Take Care of Your Aquatic Pet
by: Andy Fletcher



When you decide to keep Koi fish as pets, you must learn a few very basic and vital things about Koi care. Proper nutrition and water quality are the two deciding factors that you have to look at while thinking about Koi care.

Koi fishes are hardy specimens of fish and they can live for long periods of time, sometimes for more than 200 years though the average life span is around 25 to 35 years. These Koi fishes are easy going hassle free kinds of pets and don’t give much trouble to their keepers and you will find it easy to take care of them.

Koi Care – Pond Water Quality

One of the most critical conditions of Koi care is perhaps the quality of the water in the pond. You would be surprised to know that Koi needs fresh and good quality water for their habitat more than food. A Koi will not starve to death if it doesn’t receive food for several weeks, however, it can die in one night if the water quality turns out to be very poor.

You always have to pay attention to how you will sustain your pond water quality through proper filtration and supplies and you also have to chalk out or fix a budget for your pond water quality maintenance expenses.

Nutrition

Another thing to keep in mind is Koi nutrition and proper nutrition will ensure that the kois can protect themselves from diseases, they will grow up to the right proportion and size and you don’t have to worry about good body conformation.

Nursing

One more thing that you should remember about Koi care is that you need to react promptly and take necessary precautionary steps or measures of redressal to combat Koi health problems and accidents. That means if the need arises, you have to even apply first aid to a sick or injured Koi or administer the correct medication.

You also have to take into account the seasonal care pattern for Koi fish. For e.g. in the spring months, Koi fishes feel their worst while summer happens to be their best season for grow out. The Koi fish usually spends the fall months preparing for the harsh cold weather of winter by generating enzymes.

And during winter months, the Koi fishes go deep into sleep or hibernation. Thus it is clear that Koi fishes require separate types of care and maintenance during the various seasons of the year.

Predators

While on the topic of Koi care, I must inform you about potential predators that can feast on your pet Koi. You have to guard your fish from raccoons for these masked and dark circled bandits have been observed to be the most common predators, if you are really serious about Koi care.

3 Great Fish For Your Tropical Aquarium

3 Great Fish For Your Tropical Aquarium
by: Paul Curran



Lamp Eye, Madagascar Rainbow Fish and the Medaka are three fish suitable for your tropical aquarium. Find out about their behavior, what they look like, water conditions, how to feed them and how to breed them

Lamp Eye - Aplocheilichthys macrophthalmus (Family: Cyprinodontidae)

As this fish rarely grows to more than 3 cms you need to assess your community aquarium to see if there are any of the others that lean towards the aggressive and might harm them. For their size these fishes eyes are bigger than you might expect and show as a greenish gold in low light; hence the common names, Lamp or Lantern eye.

As an active fish with a good leap, you must have a cover on the tank to stop them jumping out and the use of floating plants will help. For these fish to enjoy their stay, matured aquarium water is required at a temperature of between twenty three and twenty six degrees Celcius.

Shape wise, the fish has a long body, thinner at the front with a mouth that points upwards slightly. It has attractive fins on a gray green body which may have a dark line along the back with a spotted shiny thin band along the flank. The male's ventral and dorsal fins are more pointed than the female.

Breeding wise, eggs are either laid individually or in bunches that end up amongst the plants. Once laid it is best practice to remove the parents. The eggs will hatch in about a week and a half and you will have to be very careful with the fry as they are a bit delicate.

Madagascar Rainbow Fish - Bedotia geayi (Family: Atherinidae)

Keeping this fish in a shoal (not large) with water between 25 and 18 degrees centigrade will see them at their best in your community tank. It is an active swimmer and sturdy little fish that grows up to about 8 cms and likes to dwell in the top part of the aquarium. Although it has only come onto the scene a relatively short time ago this fish has become a favorite with aquarium lovers.

Body wise, it has a somewhat unique feature in that it has two dorsal fins, a short one and a long one. Color wise, the main color is olive green and there is a stripe along the sides of the fish from eye to tail. It is easy to feed as it it accepts most offerings so ideally give it a varied diet.

Breeding is easy for this species so you need to have thickly planted tank with hard water at a temperature of at least 26 degrees centigrade. Eggs laid will adhere to plants and the eggs themselves are quite big but you will have to wait a few days for completion as only a few eggs are laid per day. Bear in mind that due to the extended spawning period, fry will hatch and be at various stages of their development.

Medaka - Oryzias latipes (Family: Oryziatidae)

This fish is ideal for your tropical aquarium. It grows to about 5 cms, will consume most foods and can survive in a wide range of temperatures, although 20 to 24 degrees centigrade is the best for it. There are three other species of Oryzias that you may also come across under the name medaka but the Oryzias latipes is the main one.

With this fish there are no specific patterns on its mainly gold color. Its head is slimmer than you would normally expect and its body lengthier than usual. It is interesting to know that before breeding took place the original color was; well there wasn't one. It was transparent!

Males are somewhat smaller than females and have bigger fins. Breeding is relatively easy and the tank should be at the same temperature as the main tank, have floating plants and be thickly planted underwater with fine leaved plants. Until they have been fertilized, the eggs will stay attached to the end of the female.

It is best practice to take out all the plants with attached eggs from the tank to another one and after about two weeks the fry will emerge. Remove and feed on infusoria then fine dry food, then micro worms and other food for the more grown up fish.

So there you have it, three more excellent fish for your tropical aquarium collection.

Betta Fish Is The Perfect Pet Fish

Betta Fish Is The Perfect Pet Fish
by: Rosalinda Zamora


I still remember the first time I saw two beautiful looking fish in a friend's house. One fish was blue and the other was red, and they were swimming majestically in their fishbowls. That was my first encounter with a fish species known as Betta fish or Betta Splendens or Siamese Fighting Fish (three names that refer to one fish).

Up until today, I'm still keeping a few of them in my house, and they make perfect pet fish for my family. Every member of my family loves them.

Why do I like most about Betta fish, you may ask. Definitely, I have many different reasons, but here are three of them.

1. Betta fish are beautiful pet.

It's a tropical fish that comes with different colors such as red, blue and yellow. Some Betta fish have more than one color on their bodies. Believe it or not! I can spend hours looking at how Betta fish move in their bowls but even if you don't know a thing about Betta fish, you will be mesmerized by their colors alone.

2. Betta fish are easy to care.

Betta fish are hardy type of fish and they can live in a small container. A small fishbowl is enough to house one Betta fish, but be aware that two male Betta fish shouldn't be placed in one container. Or else, these two Betta fish might fight until death (that's why they are also called Siamese fighting fish).

3. Betta fish are responsive.

If you have a Betta fish in a small fishbowl and you move closer to the fish, you'll see that your fish will turn its head to look at you. That's what makes me fall in love with Betta fish. They are responsive to your presence and aware that you are there, unlike many other pet fish.

So, you can now consider if you want to adopt Betta fish as your family pet or for your kids. They are lovable creatures and you will know it immediately one you have a Betta in your house.

measuring fecundity with fish length

population fecundity relative from one hundred, a thousand or ten thousand individual of certain age group. Amount of fish in every age class multiplied [by] mean fecundity of that age. Result of which [is] got from suming all age group give fecundity relative. this fecundity can differ from year to year because many individual which is not prolific annually. If in one year, there are individual in number many will cause low fecundity in the year the other.

fecundity with length.
fecundity [is] often attributed to length than weighing, because its decrease length [of] infinitesimal relatip [do] not like weight able to decrease easily. Matter which must be paid attention in making [relation/link] of fecundity with length if taking sampel which repeatedly have to take a care, because if taken fish when gonad [is] growing this matter [do] not represent growth of somatik. Become here difference there must be [among/between] growth of somatik with growth of gonad. Most [all] writer plot absolute fecundity with fish length and that [relation/link] [is]:




Where
F = fecundity,
L = long [of] fish,
and a of b represent got konstanta of data.
The equation if [is] likened into to logarithm will get equation of straight line regresi

Log F = log a + b log L


Price Exponent of b range from 2,34 - 5,28 and most gyrating above 3 ( Bagenal, in Gerking, 1967). There [is] also making Correlation [among/between] fecundity with length by ordinary regresi later;then dites seen its correlation coefficient. Hoyt ( 1971) getting equation for the length of fish with amount of ripe egg of fish of silver jaw ( Bucata Ericymba) that is

Y = (- 1379,3 + 32,74 X )


with correlation coefficient of r = 0,89.



This correlation show strong and positive [relation/link] from both variable. Additional [of] length have correlation [to] with accretion of egg. Healy ( 1971) getting linear correlation almost [among/between] fecundity with fish length of sand goby ( Minutes pallas Gobius), but variation [of] among fish Which [is] of uniform length, fecundity different each other and its correlation coefficient lower that is r = 0,55. In investigating fish of fall fish ( Corporalis Semotilus), Reed ( 1971) getting [relation/link] [among/between] fecundity with fish length [is].


F = - 14.913,3 + 76,7 L

with correlation coefficient of r = 0,958.


Dennison and of Bulkley ( 1972) during twice accurate summer [of] potency reproduce fish of bullhead ( Ictalurus braze) [in] Clear Lake Iowa, for example getting that [there] no correlation [among/between] fecundity with body length ( Picture 7). Correlation coefficient got for year 1969, r = 0,19 and for year 1970, r = 0,09. Lowering of got correlation possible because of extreme rotation boundary of fecundity [at] [is] same size measure represent matter which [do] not habit.

How Much Fish Oil do YOU Need to be Healthy?

How Much Fish Oil do YOU Need to be Healthy?
by: Emile Jarreau


I think it's safe to say that just about everyone has heard about the healthful benefits of adding fish oil to your diet. The Omega 3 Fatty Acids it contains, has been linked to positive effects in humans including lower blood pressure, lower triglycerides and overall cholesterol levels, and even possible reducing the effects of certain types of cancers including colon, breast, and prostate cancer. It has been included in numerous medical studies as being INCREDIBLY helpful in lowering the risk of heart disease for those that have taken significant amounts of Omega 3 over their lifetime. This begs the question, “How much is enough?”

The answer can be tough and there is perhaps no EXACT answer, but a few variables must be looked at when deciding on how much of it is enough for you is.

First of all, let's look at how age can play a role. Younger people need a higher dose of fish oil than older folks do. This is likely due to the fact that younger people have higher metabolisms and are more active. This results in their bodies burning off higher amounts of calories and fats that they ingest. Older people on the other hand, are usually more sedentary and don't need quite as much fish oil to achieve the same benefits from taking the supplement.

Another factor that plays a role in researching the amount of fish oil you may need in your diet is the quality you are taking. It is readily available in capsule and liquid form anywhere that vitamins are sold, but not all is created equal. The fact is the quality and concentration of fish oil over the counter can vary greatly. You'll want to choose a quality fish oil that is at least health food store grade, and preferably pharmaceutical grade. The higher quality of it, the less you will have to ingest to experience the health benefits.

Finally, the last factor to consider when deciding what dosage of fish oil to take pertains to your particular medical condition. For instance, if you have high cholesterol, or a high risk of heart disease or high blood pressure, your doctor may prescribe a higher than normal dose for you. This is for your DOCTOR to decide though, as it is not advised to self prescribe more than is recommended on the product label itself.

The GENERAL rule of thumb is to take between 2.5 and 3.5 grams of fish oil per day. It is recommended that you visit with your doctor and discuss with it including both the positive and potentially negative effects of taking fish oil. Included in your diet in the right amount, containing omega 3 fatty acids can be one of the smartest and most healthy things you ever do for yourself and your body.

Catfish fish morphology

Catfish fish morphology.

catfish fish is one type of fish from catfish groups. The length of adult catfish reached 120 cm. This body size is a measure of body belonging to the fish catfish species. Elongated shape with a dominant color such as silver glittery white on the back and bluish. Body color silvery glow very bright as a child, so many people who keep the aquarium as ornamental fish. This silver color will fade after the larger catfish.

Just like other catfish, catfish do not have the stature aka slippery scales. Form a relatively small head. Her mouth is located at the lower end of the head. In the corner of his mouth are two pairs of whiskers that serves as a search tool feed and tentacle while swimming. At the back there are fins with a strong fingers that can turn into shaft. soft fingers fruit numbered 6-7.
form symmetrical forked tail fin. In the pectoral fin is 12-13 fingers - fingers soft and one hard fingers that function as shaft. Anus fin length, consisting of 30-33 soft radius. Meanwhile, in the belly fins are 6 soft fingers.
