AQUACULTURE
Breeding, raising,
and harvesting fish,
shellfish, and
aquatic plants.
Wharf
a platform built out
from the shore into
the water and
supported by piles.
FECUNDATION
•The process of
fertilization, specifically
in the context of breeding
and raising aquatic
organisms.
•It involves the union of
sperm and egg, leading to
the formation of a zygote,
which will eventually
develop into a new
individual.
HATCHERY
a place where the
hatching of fish or
poultry eggs is
artificially controlled
for
commercial purposes.
BRACKISH WATER
Occurs when the
freshwater from a river
or lake meets the salty
seawater of
an ocean body.

BACKGROUND
OF
AQUACULTURE
Grade 8 Agri-Fishery (AFA) QUARTER 1
Aquaculture and
fisheries
It is said that in the early days, nobody
bothered about the culturing of fish for
the people believed that the sea can
forever yield them adequate supply of
fish. The increase of population and the
use of illegal fishing, however, did have
adverse effect in the natural
productivity of the seas and other bodies
of water making the fish scarce. This
prompted the people to culture fish.
Aquaculture and
fisheries
•Fish culture was believed to
have started in
China.
Historical records reveal that
net making and methods were
developed in 2953 B. C. under
the regime of Fu Hi.
Aquaculture and
fisheries
•The Roman considered fish as among
the most highly priced delicacies
during the first century A.D. Fish
farming was well attended during
this period but it did not
contribute much to the scientific
progress of aquaculture because
the people were
more interested in
food rather than in the progress
of the industry.
Aquaculture and
fisheries
•The first real inventor of
practical fecundation by
artificial means was Jacob
of Westphalia. In England,
Leonard Mascall who
published "Book of Fishing"
in 1590 is said to be the
pioneer of fish culture. In
the United States, early
interest in fishponds was
recorded in the diary of
Squire Caroll on August 27,
1792. The gold fish is the
first species of fish reared
in the United States.
Aquaculture and
fisheries
•In Indonesia, the origin of
fishponds is not known. Some
authors say it might be of
Chinese origin, while others say
it is of Malay origin. Records
of fishponds in government
archives date back from 1821.
Aquaculture and
fisheries
•The most original form of fish
farming practices in
Japan is in
seaweeds and pearl culture.
•Mikimota is the pioneer in the
culture of pearl oysters, thus
he is known as the king of pearl
oyster culture.
Fish Culture
in the
Philippines
Grade 8 Agri-Fishery (AFA) QUARTER 1
•In the Philippines, there is no
record as to when the cultivation
of fish in pond started. The first
fishponds must have been
introduced by the Malay emigrants
long before the Chinese traders
came to the Philippines. Navotas
and Malabon are the two principal
towns which may be considered as
pioneers in the fishpond industry
in the Philippines.
•Dr. Pio Valencia is the pioneer of
fish culture in the Visayas, while
Talava, pioneered oyster culture
in our country.
•Scientific fish farming in our
country may be said to have
started with the experiments
on milkfish culture in 1940.
In the sixties, improved
milkfish culture was applied.
•To further support the
industry, national and
international research
institutions were established
in the early seventies.
•Among the leading aquaculture
research centers today are the
Southeast Asian Fisheries
Development Center's
Aquaculture Department in
Tigbuan, Iloilo; the
International Center for
Living Aquatic Resources
Management in Makati; the
Central Luzon State
University's Freshwater
Aquaculture Center in Nueva
Ecija; and the Brackishwater
Aquaculture Center of the
University of the Philippines.
•Fishes cultured in freshwaters
are tilapia, carp, catfish,
mudfish, and gourami. Milkfish
and prawns are the most important
species cultured in brackish
water ponds. The culture of
marine species is still in the
experimental stage. Only a few
species have far been reared in
ponds and pens.
Types of
AQUACULTURE
SYSTEM
Grade 8 Agri-Fishery (AFA) QUARTER 1
POND CULTURE
Common method of fish
culture. Water is
maintained in an
enclosed area by
artificial construction
of dike/bund.
CAGE CULTURE
Rearing of fish from
juvenile stage to
commercial size in a
volume of water
enclosed on all sides.
PEN CULTURE
Raising of fish in a
volume of water
enclosed on all sides
except bottom. This
system can be
considered a hybrid
between pond culture
and cage culture.
RACEWAY CULTURE
Raising of fish in running
water. Raceways are
designed to provide a flow-
through system to enable
rearing of much denser
population of fishes.
CIRCULATING
AQUACULTURE SYSTEM
An aquaculture system
that incorporates the
treatment and reuse of
water with less than
10% of total water
volume replaced per day.
