Lesson I: Fishery Objectives:

1. Explain the concepts of fishery; 2. Discuss the morphology of fish - its parts and functions; 3. Dissect and identify the external parts of fish; 4. Dissect, identify and state the functions of internal parts of the fish; 5. Distinguish the possibility of culturing, preserving and marketing of fish; 6. Differentiate the three branches of fishery arts

Fish culture, as an aspect of aquaculture, is one of the answers to the pressing

needs of increasing food production. As a subsidiary of aquaculture it deals with the cultivation of fishes in ponds and in other aquaculture facilities, such as cages, fish pens, tanks, raceways and rice paddies. Since many freshwater and brackish water species are cultured in ponds, it is the concern of this lesson to study fish and its parts with corresponding functions.

Know 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 ). Based on the fossils recovered five million years ago, there was no distinguishing feature of a fish. The primitive fish belongs to ostracoderms, which has a mouth just a small opening, and the placoderms to which our present day bony fish belong. Fish is a business for it is a source of income, food and livelihood if it can be cultured for commercial purposes and marketed properly. Fishery is the business of catching, handling, taking, marketing and preserving of fish and other fishery products. 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.

Page 7: Fishery Arts 7

Ichthyology - the science that deals with the study of fishes Ichthyologists - scientists or persons who study fishes 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

Page 8: Fishery Arts 7

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.

Fish Scales Tell the Age of a Fish

Look at the image of the fish scale. Like a tree, scales show rings that indicate periods of growth. Rings that are farther apart occur when the fish grows well and there is a lot of food in the summer season. Rings that are close together occur when the fish does not get much food and grows slowly. On the scale you can identify the summer growth and the winter growth. (There will be several rings in each).

The core represents the fish when it was first born, as a fry. The rings near the edge are the most recent periods of growth.

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

Page 10: Fishery Arts 7

Page 10

4. Ganoid - a four- sided plate that fits closely against adjacent

plates without overlapping

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

Characteristics of Fish that are Suitable for Pond Culture

1. Fish should be palatable and good tasting – the fish must have a delicate flavour. 2. Fish must be a fast grower – the fish must be able to grow rapidly or can give a

possibility of four or more harvests a year . 3. Fish should be resistant to pests, diseases and parasites – the fish should not

succumb to abrupt changes in temperature or salinity and can tolerate such conditions in all its existence.

4. Fish should be a universal feeder – the culture fish require food which can be grown easily and abundantly under favourable conditions.

5. Fish should have high market demand – the fish must command a high price to recover the expenses incurred.

Natural Food of Fish in the Pond

Picture

1. Plankton- small plants floating in

water

2. Lab-lab – a twining leguminous

plant

3. Algae – are a very large and

diverse group of simple, typically autotrophic organisms, ranging from unicellular to multicellular forms, such as the giant kelps that grow to 65 meters in length.

Page 22: Fishery Arts 7

Page 22

6. Fish should not be destructive in confinement, either to its kind or to other species or to its environment – the fish should be prolific which means that reproduce very often to have a continuous supply of fry or stocks.

Other Fish Culture Facilities 1. Hapa - it is an unframed

net tied to posts and principally used for nursing fry and holding of breeder. It looks like an inverted mosquito net.

2. Fish cage - it is a framed net

that is either fixed or mobile. Set in water and surrounded with a bamboo raft and provided with an anchor at the bottom. It is used for the culture of fish from fry to marketable size.

3. Fish pen - it is an enclosure

of net or bamboo slats with sturdy posts staked at the bottom of water and used for the culture of fish from fry to marketable size

Tank - it is a structure made of brick tile or concrete used for the purpose of culturing fish from fry, to marketable size. It can also be used as a breeding tank, or as

conditioning tank for breeders.

4. Raceway – an enclosure of concrete

soil or added materials generally in the shape of the canal through which constant water flows. Fish are raised in the raceway at high density and their waste products are carried out by the water passing through the areas.

Principles of Fish Preservation

1. Prevent or delay microbial decomposition of fish 2. Prevent or delay self-decomposition of fish 3. Prevent other causes of spoilage of fish like physical damages

Agents of spoilage

1. Microorganisms

Three Main Groups of Microorganism

a. Bacteria - responsible in the breakdown of plant and animal material and the possible the return of simple inorganic compounds to the soil. The result of this breakdown is spoilage, fermentation and decay. Since fish is an organic matter, it spoils easily. As soon as it dies, bacteria act on it.

b. Molds - fuzzy or cottony organisms that

grow on the surface of the food. They are responsible for the white, orange, black, green or blue green colonies on the surface of the food.

c. Yeasts - whitish to yellowish colonies on the surface of the food. They appear as a film on the surface of the liquid or as sediments at the bottom.

2. Enzymes - proteins that act as biochemical

catalysts in living organisms. They are normally present along the digestive tract and help in the breakdown of food into assimilable forms.

Page 45: Fishery Arts 7

Page 45

Changes in Fish After Death

1. Changes in Appearance - the color starts to fade until it becomes dull as spoilage progresses

2. Rigor mortis - characterized by the stiffening of the muscle tissue. This state lasts only for a few minutes in some fish to several hours in others. the fish in this state is considered fresh.

3. Autolysis - the breakdown of tissues caused by enzymes. Since it softens the tissue, it proves the activity of microorganisms.

4. Putrefaction – the state when the components of the flesh are assimilable forms. It is accompanied by a foul odor, which is the result of the breakdown of protein. The fish at this stage is spoiled and undesirable.

Characteristics of Fresh and Stale Fish

Fresh Fish Stale Fish

Eyes Bright, bulging pupils Velvet, black corneas transparent

Dull, wrinkled, sunken pupils, dull black, corneas opaque

Gills

Bright red, covered with clear slime, fresh odor under gill cover

Dull brown or gray, slime cloudy, odor under gill cover sour and offensive

Flesh Firm, stiff body; impression made by fingers do not remain

Soft and flabby; impression made by fingers remain

Belly walls Intact Often ruptured, viscera protruding

Muscle tissue White Pinkish, especially around backbone

Vent Pink, not protruding Pale brown protruding Odor Fresh, fishy odor Stale, sour or putrid Color Bright Faded and dull Classification of Bacteria According to Shape

1. Coccus - round 2. Bacillus - rod-shaped 3. Spirillus - spiral 4. Staphylococcus - grapelike 5. Streptococcus - chainlike

Page 46: Fishery Arts 7

Page 46

Classification of Bacteria According to Their Temperature Requirement 1. Thermophilic - thrive at high temperature

(heat loving) 2. Psychrophilic - thrive best at low temperature

(cold-loving organisms) 3. Mesophilic - those that thrive between low and high

temperatures

Classification of Bacteria According to Their Oxygen Requirement 1. Aerobic - requires free oxygen in order to live 2. Anaerobic - lives in the absence of free oxygen 3. Facultative - grows with or without free oxygen

Types of Enzymes

1. Lipolytic - enzyme that acts on fats 2. Proteolytic - enzyme that acts on proteins 3. Amylolitic - enzyme that acts on carbohydrates

Methods of Fish Preservation

1. Fish Curing 2. Utilization of Fishery By Products 3. Refrigeration and Cold Storage 4. Canning or Bottling

1. Fish Curing - includes all the methods of fish preservation except refrigeration and canning. It is the process of preservation by the use of preservatives and other chemicals for the purpose of keeping fish and other fishery products fresh for future use.

Types of Fish Curing

a. Salting - application of salt to the fish b. Drying - lowering of water content of the product

to a degree where bacteria cannot grow and reproduce

c. Smoking - application of smoke to the product d. Pickling and spicing - preservation of food by the use of

vinegar and other spices e. Salting - considered the basis of all methods of

fish preservation

Page 47: Fishery Arts 7

Page 47

Salt - colorless or white crystalline compound known chemically as sodium chloride (NaCl) occurring abundantly in nature, both in solid form and in solution

Factors Affecting Salting

1. Composition of salt

a. Pure salt - fish salted with pure salt is of better quality. It is soft and flabby and has yellowish white color

b. Impure salt - fish salted with impure salt is firm and rusty in color

2. Temperature - high temperature makes salt dissolve faster, permitting a rapid penetration of the product with salt.

3. Methods of Salting

a. Kench Salting or Dry salting b. Dry Salting to Make Brine c. Brine Salting d. Fermenting

4. Methods of Cleaning

a. whole fish b. splitted fish c. gutted fish 5. Size of the Fish - small sized of fish is salted faster than

larger size of fish 6. Storage of Fish

Page 48: Fishery Arts 7

Page 48

B. Drying and Dehydration - lowering the water content of the fish with the aid of heat

Drying - known as natural drying Dehydration - used of chemical devices to provide artificial heat for dryin Factors Affecting Drying

1. Humidity of Air 2. Velocity of the wind 3. Intensity of sunshine

Humidity - amount of moisture in air Velocity - speed of air/wind Factors Affecting Dehydration

1. Kind of drier used 2. Temperature range 3. Storage of finished product 4. Relative humidity

The finished products of drying and dehydration is commonly called daing or tuyo

C. Smoking - method of preserving fish by the application

of smoke and other interrelated processes such as salting, drying and heat treatment

Smokehouse - an airtight container where smoke can be introduced. Types of smoking

1. Hot Smoking or barbecuing - a slow type of broiling that places the poduct in close proximity to the fire. The food is cooked and smoked in temperature ranging 150◦F to 190◦F.

2. Cold smoking - method of smoking in which the fish are hung at some distance from a low smoldering fire and cured at temperatures ranging from 90◦F to 110◦F.

Page 49: Fishery Arts 7

Page 49

Factors Affecting Smoking

1. Kind of Fish - fat fish are preferable to lean ones. Scaly fish are usually used to obtain an attractive appearance of the finished product

2. Condition of raw materials 3. Kind of smoke-producing materials

a. Hard wood - good quality of smoke is produced b. Soft wood - thin smoke is produced; thus, a low

grade of smoked product 4. Length of smoke curing

D. PICKLING - preservation of food by the use of vinegar and other

spices. Pickling of fish as a method of preservation is not commercially done in the Philippines because the preservative action of vinegar is short. Pickling has some digestive action in fish which renders it softer and pastier. Pickled fish is usually used as appetizer so preservation by this method is recommended for use at home. Mensuration and Calculation Activity # 1 Demonstrate how to come up with the true and correct brine solution following the recommended ratio, salting process with emphasis on the proper amount of salt, drying and dehydration, and taking into consideration the exact or calculated number of days of exposure to sunlight.

2. CANNING - application of heat to food in a hermetically sealed container at a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to destroy microorganisms and to render any bacterial cell for a definite period of time.

Page 50: Fishery Arts 7

Page 50

Page 54: Fishery Arts 7

Page 54

4. The fish is soaked in 25% brine solution (salt and water) from 30 minutes to

an hour depending on the size of the fish. Smaller fish are soaked for a

shorter time compared to the bigger ones.

5. After salting, the fish are washed to remove the dirt and excess salt on the

surface.

6. Spread out the fish on drying trays and place under the sun. Turn over every

3 hours.
