Grade 8 TLE - Agriculture and Fishery Arts Reviewer

Vocabulary flashcards covering Fish Habitats, Fisheries Legislation, Occupational Safety and Health (OSH), and Aquaculture Tools & Monitoring based on Grade 8 TLE Agriculture and Fishery Arts.

Marine Habitat

A saltwater habitat with high salinity that includes oceans and seas, where fish species such as tuna and sardines live.

Freshwater Habitat

A habitat with low salinity that includes rivers, lakes, ponds, and streams, essential for producing fish species like tilapia.

Brackish Water Habitat

An aquatic habitat occurring in estuaries and coastal areas where freshwater and saltwater mix, resulting in variable salinity levels.

Coral Reefs

Marine structures that provide essential food, shelter, protection, and breeding/nursery areas for fish populations.

Republic Act No. 10654 (RA 10654)

The Amended Fisheries Code of the Philippines designed to prevent illegal fishing, promote sustainable fisheries, protect aquatic resources, and safeguard biodiversity.

IUU Fishing

An acronym for Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated fishing, referring to activities that violate fisheries laws, fail to report catches, or operate without proper regulatory oversight.

Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR)

The government agency responsible for fisheries management, conservation of aquatic resources, setting regulations, and implementing sustainable fisheries measures.

Fine Mesh Nets

Restricted fishing gear that captures juvenile or immature fish, preventing them from reproducing and recovering fish populations.

Sustainable Approach in Fisheries

A fishery management strategy focused on protecting biodiversity and habitats, adhering to gear regulations, managing fishing effort, and preserving fish populations for future generations.

Occupational Safety and Health (OSH)

A multidisciplinary field focused on promoting and maintaining the health, safety, and well-being of workers in the workplace.

Hazard

A source of potential harm or adverse health effect in the workplace environment.

Risk

The probability or likelihood of harm or adverse health effects occurring when a person is exposed to a hazard.

Ergonomic Hazards

Workplace hazards related to physical strain and body positioning, such as repetitive tasks, awkward postures, heavy lifting, and prolonged positions.

Physical Hazards

Workplace hazards that include slippery surfaces, sharp objects or tools, and heavy equipment.

Biological Hazards

Hazards arising from biological agents, including pathogens, viruses, parasites, and contaminated seafood or water.

Psychosocial Hazards

Workplace stressors that affect psychological well-being, such as excessive stress, long working hours, fatigue, and isolation.

Environmental Hazards

Hazards caused by natural surroundings or weather, including extreme weather, water pollution, and climate change.

Chemical Hazards

Hazards associated with exposure to hazardous liquids or substances, such as cleaning agents, fuel spills, and pesticides.

pH Meter

An aquaculture instrument used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of water.

Dissolved Oxygen Meter

An aquaculture instrument used to measure the amount of oxygen available in water (DO).

Secchi Disk

An aquaculture tool used to measure water transparency and clarity.

Laboratory Thermometer

An aquaculture instrument used to measure water temperature to assess suitability for cultured species.

Salinometer / Refractometer

An aquaculture tool used to measure the salinity or salt concentration of water.

Three Steps of Equipment Maintenance

The sequence of maintaining aquaculture tools: Clean (remove residue/dirt), Inspect (check for damage), and Calibrate (adjust for measurement accuracy).

Systematic Problem-Solving Process in Aquaculture

A six-step method for responding to fish stress: 1. Observe, 2. Select appropriate tools, 3. Collect accurate data, 4. Analyze results, 5. Take corrective action, and 6. Continue monitoring.
