z
Fish farming is the raising of fish for personal use or profit. It is
sometimes called fish culture. By raising fish we make better
use of our land and our water. If you raise fish your family will
have more to eat. The protein in fish will keep your family
strong and healthy. Fish are tasty, like chicken, sheep, and
goat. If your family is not too big, you will have more fish than
you need for food and you can sell them at the market. With
more food and more money you and your family can live better.
z There are different types of farming systems being practiced:
Extensive Fish Farming System

● least managed form of fish farming
● fish depends only on natural food
● large ponds measuring 1 to 5 ha in area
● stocking density limited to only less than 5000 fishes/ha.
● no supplemental feeding or fertilization of water provided
● yield (500 to 2 ton/ha), and survival is low.
Semi-intensive Fish Farming System

● involves rather small ponds (0.5 to 1 hectare in an area)
● with higher stocking density (10000 to 15000 fish/ha).
● care is taken to develop natural foods by fertilization
with/without supplemental feeding. However, the
major food source is natural food.
● yield is moderate (3 to 10 ton/ha)
z There are different types of farming systems being practiced:
Intensive Fish Farming System

● highly managed form of fish farming
● involves small ponds/tanks/raceways
● with very high stocking density (10-50 fish/m3 of water)
● fish are fed wholly with formulated feed.
● control of water quality by use of aerators
● control of feeding by use of commercial feed.
● yield is high 15 to 100 ton/ha or more
Integrated Aquaculture System

● fish culture is integrated with agricultural crops such as
rice, banana and coconut, thereby producing fish and
agricultural crops.
● includes rice-fish integration, horticulture-fish system,
mushroom-fish system, Seri-fish system.

Persons in the Community Whose Occupation is Fish Culture
Fish culture contributes more than half of the total volume of production of fish in
the Philippines. Western Visayas remains the fourth largest contributor in the
national volume of production of fish from year 2014 up to 2018.
Many entrepreneurs in the region are into fish culture. Some of them are:
1. Thomas Hautea – owns Retcem Resources Incorporated Fish Farm which

operates a number of milkfish farms in different towns of Iloilo Province.
2. Eric Ledesma – owner of a milkfish farm named Iloilo Farm at Brgy. Tubigan,
Zarraga, Iloilo
3. Francisco Blas, Jr. – owner of Flanton Aqua Farm raising milkfish at Brgy.
Poblacion, Ajuy, Iloilo
4. Teresita A. Yusay – owner of T.A.Y Farm who raise giant tiger prawn or “lukon” at
Brgy. Calumangan, Bago, City, Negros Occidental.

Palaka Norte, Pulupandan, Negros Occidental.
6. Dan L. Gayares – owns a prawn and tilapia fish farmat Purok Gumamela, Brgy.
Calumangan, Bago City, Negros Occidental.
7. Eugenio V. Lacson – a white shrimp (P. vannamei) raiser in Banago, Bacolod City,
Negros Occidental
8. Joselito Baba – owner of Puffi Aquaculture Farm raising prawns and white

Kinds of Fish being Cultured as Means of Livelihood
 Milkfish and Nile tilapia are the major fishes

now produced but groupers, sea bass, rabbit
fish, red snappers, carps, and catfishes are
grown by some farmers.
z
Kinds of Fish being

Cultured as Means of
Livelihood
Milkfish (Chanos chanos)

Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Catfish (Clarias batrachus)
Grouper (Epinephilus )

Grouper (Epinephilus )
Groupers, popularly known as "lapu-lapu" in

some Philippine dialects, are important marine
fishes. They are characterized by thick-set or
stout bodies, slightly elongate with brown
spots or blotches. They also have very large
mouths and normally protruding lower jaw. It
is, however, difficult to differentiate one
species from another due to the fishes' ability
to change its colors.
Possible Hazard Cause by Fish Culture to the
People and Community
z
Some of these are:
● Pollution (inside and outside pond system) - due to excessive
feed wastes settled inside the pond or discharged untreated to
ocean waters.
● Chemical toxicity - because of the use of pesticides and
antibiotics
● Displacement of native species - because importation of foreign
species
● Decline in local food crops - because of conversion of
agricultural land to ponds.
● Competition for credit, land, and other resources
● Gradual sinking of the culture land area
● Spread of parasites and diseases
● Loss of mangrove ecosystem
● Water and soil salinization
● Public health risks
Ways to Prevent Possible Hazards Brought about
z by Culturing Fish
Effective methods in reducing the impacts of fish culture

include but are not limited to:
● use of proper site evaluation and design procedures
● good construction practices
● attention to erosion control
● lower stocking rate and commercial feeding rate
● proper management techniques.
● maintaining good water quality conditions
● keeping the culture facility clean and well organized
● adoption of sustainable culture techniques
z Direct Consumers and Retailers
 Types of buyers according to characteristics and functions:

Benefits that can Derived from Fish Culturing
z
 1. Alternative food source - fish and other seafood are good sources of protein and
have more nutritional value like the addition of natural oils into the diet.
 2. Increased jobs in the market – aquaculture provides more hiring possibilities and
more jobs.
 3. Reduce fishing of the wild from the sea- allow for alternative sources of food
instead of fishing the same species in their natural habitats. Population numbers of
some wild stocks of some species are in danger of being depleted due to overfishing.
 4. Sustainable use of sea resources – aquaculture provides opportunities to

replenish stocks in the wild.
 5. Entrepreneurship-provides extra income to supplement the earnings of the

family.
z
Direction: Use the word formed from the scrambled letters above to answer the following
questions using a separate sheet of paper:
RETAILER

salinity.
TILAPIA
_________________ 5. It feeds voraciously on most natural food like; planktons, bottom
biota present in ponds, but prefer vegetative foods.
