1
Total productivity can be increased by
rearing non-competitive species together.
New cards
2
Captive rearing and release example
Population seeding.
New cards
3
Hydroponic productivity increases because of the nutrients and organic matter supply: ________ is full of nutrients that the plants use.
Fish faeces
New cards
4
Temperature
Dependant on species, warmer ________ increase growth rates, but decrease oxygen; Increases metabolic reaction rates.
New cards
5
Water flow
Fish often swim against the flow of water; This is used to get individuals to swim on the same direction, decreasing collisions and disease spread.
New cards
6
Carnivorous species
________, like salmon, are fed of small oily (like herring) fish which are caught easily.
New cards
7
stock density
Increased ________ increases the spread of parasites and diseases.
New cards
8
Herbivorous fish
________ are more likely to find natural food.
New cards
9
Advantages of aquaculture
High productivity
High food conversion rates (energy ratios)
Herbivorous species feed off naturally growing plant species or crop waste.
New cards
10
Habitat fragmentation results in
Exposure to predators.
New cards
11
Dynamite fishing
Stuns fish using shockwaves
Destroys habitats.
New cards
12
hormone injections
Eggs and milt are collected from mature individuals (sometimes using ________)
New cards
13
Different net mesh sizes
This can allow juvenile fish to escape nets
New cards
14
Acoustic deterrent devices
Produces sound waves that repel aquatic species which communicate using echolocation
New cards
15
Biodegradable fishing equipment
Prevents ghost fishing
New cards
16
Different hook shapes/sizes
Specially designed to only catch target species
New cards
17
Decoys
Deter birds from becoming susceptible to ghost fishing.
New cards
18
Artificial control of abiotic and biotic factors to maximise productivity
High food inputs for carnivorous species
Fish farms
Monoculture
Growth hormones
Small nets
Pesticides
New cards
19
Introducing a fish to a pond and allowing it to feed on wild food
Maintaining habitats
Protection from predators
Natural food
Pest control species
Decreases disease
New cards
20
Location
Does the specie thrive in the local abiotic factors
New cards
21
In some species, it is desirable to have a specific sex
Growth rates
Breed stock
Caviar (AndalucĂa)
New cards
22
Spread of disease is controlled using
Circulating water tanks (fish naturally swim against the flow)
Pesticides
Biological control (lump suckers)
New cards
23
Predation and competition is controlled by
Netting
Bird scarers
Culling of predators
New cards
24
Temperature
Dependant on species, warmer temperatures increase growth rates, but decrease oxygen
Increases metabolic reaction rates
New cards
25
Dissolved oxygen
Fish with high oxygen requirements need aerated tanks
Food waste and faecal matter need to be removed
Fish with low oxygen requirements can be kept at greater densities
New cards
26
Day length
Reproduction is affected by ____________
Some species stop growing when they become sexually mature
New cards
27
Water flow
Fish often swim against the flow of water
This is used to get individuals to swim on the same direction, decreasing collisions and disease spread
New cards
28
Hydroponic productivity increases because of the nutrients and organic matter supply
Fish faeces is full of nutrients that the plants use
New cards
29
Advantages of aquaculture
High productivity
High food conversion rates (energy ratios)
Herbivorous species feed off naturally growing plant species or crop waste
New cards
30
Disadvantages of aquaculture
Carnivorous species have lower productivity
Carnivorous species are fed off fished species
Some species cannot be raised in captivity
New cards
31
Environmental impacts that need to be reduced include
Food supply impacts
Habitat loss
Pesticide pollution
Development of antibiotic resistant bacteria
Lice control impacts
Wild gene pool impacts
