    1. What is Fish?

    Fish is a cold-blooded vertebrate living in water,


    breathing by means of gills; whose body may or may not
    be covered with scales. In general, it includes all the fin
    fishes and other aquatic animals such as crustaceans,
    (crabs, prawns, shrimps, lobsters) and mollusk (clams,
    mussels, oysters, snails and shellfishes).
    2. What are the branches of Fishery?
    1. Fish Culture - the human effort of raising the
    maximum productivity of fish and other fishery aquatic
    products and maintaining the supply of these products
    to satisfy human needs.
    2. Fish Capture - branch of fishery science that deals
    with the scientific method of catching fish as well and
    the type of fishing gear used.
    3. Fish Preservation - branch of fishery science that
    deals with the scientific method of preserving fish and
    other fishery aquatic products to prevent spoilage.
    3. What are the internal and external parts of
    fish and function?
    External Parts of the Fish and Their
    Functions:
    1. Operculum/gill cover - part of the fish that covers
    the gills
    2. Scales - part of the fish that cover the body
    3. Lateral lines - lines along the body of the fish used
    to
    Help the fish adapt itself to its new environment
    4. Fins - part of the fish that used for swimming,

    Balancing and propelling in water


    5. Eyes - part of the fish that used for seeing
    6. Mouth - part of the fish that used for swallowing
    objects, particularly food
    7. Anus - part of the fish that serves as an excretory
    organ of the fish where the waste matter

    Coming from the body of fish passes out.


    8. Caudal Peduncle - part of the fish that connect the
    body and the Tail
    9. Nostril - part of the fish that used for smelling
    Internal Parts of Fish and their Functions:
    1. Spine – the primary structural framework upon which
    the fish’s body is built. It connects to the skull at the front
    of the fish and the tail at the rear. The spine is
    Made up of numerous vertebrae, which are hollow and
    which protect the
    Delicate spinal cord.
    2. Spinal cord – the part that connects the brain to the
    rest of the body and relays sensory

    Information from the body to the brain, as well as


    instruction from the brain to the rest of the body.
    3. Brain – the control center of the fish where both
    automatic functions and higher
    Behaviours occur. All sensory information is processed
    here.
    4. Lateral line – one of the fish’s primary sense organs. It
    detects underwater vibration and is capable of
    determining the direction of their source.
    5. Swim or air bladder – a hollow, gas-filled balance
    organ that allows a fish to conserve
    Energy by maintaining neutral bouyancy in water.
    6. Kidney – filters liquid waste materials from the blood.
    These waste are then passed out
    The body
    7. Stomach and intestines – break down food and absorb
    nutrients.
    8. Pyloric caeca – finger like projection located near the
    functions of the stomach and the

    Intestine. It known to secrete enzymes that aid digestion.


    It may also
    Function to absorb digested food or do both.
    9. Liver – it assists digestion by secreting enzymes that
    break down fats, and also serves
    As storage area for fats and carbohydrates.
    10. Heart – circulates blood throughout the body.
    11. Muscle – provide movement and locomotion. These
    are parts of the fish that are

    Usually eaten. They compose the fillet of the fish.


    12. Gonad - hormone-secreting sexual gland of a fish.
    4. Parts of GILLS and function.
    Parts of Gills
    1. Gill filament - used for exchange of gases such as
    oxygen and carbon dioxide.
    2. Gill arch - used for support and for passing blood to and
    the gill filaments. 3. Gill rakers - used for straining food
    from the water
    5. Types of scales. Identify.
    Types of Fish Scales
    1. Placoid - it resembles a miniature tooth called denticles
    Ex. shark scales
    2. Cycloid - it is oval or circular in outline and have a
    smooth and exposed rear edge
    3. Ctenoid - scales that have a rear edges made of small
    brush- like spines or comb liked teeth. Ex. Scales of perch,
    pongies and bass
