Try a few questions
- Practice question 1
Semi-intensive fish culture mainly combines
- A.complete reliance on natural feeding with no management
- B.total reliance on artificial feed with maximum management
- C.a total absence of any feeding or management
- D.some natural feeding with supplementary feeding and moderate management
Show the answer
D. some natural feeding with supplementary feeding and moderate management
Semi-intensive systems blend natural and supplementary feeding with moderate input.
- Practice question 2
Managing fish disease and parasites in aquaculture mainly involves
- A.ignoring any signs of illness among the fish stock
- B.monitoring water quality and treating affected stock promptly
- C.increasing stocking density to outcompete any disease
- D.eliminating water quality monitoring entirely
Show the answer
B. monitoring water quality and treating affected stock promptly
Good water quality management and prompt treatment help control fish health issues.
- Practice question 3
Sustainable fishing practices mainly aim to
- A.maintain fish populations at healthy levels for continued future harvest
- B.maximize short-term catch with no regard for future stock levels
- C.eliminate all forms of fishing activity permanently
- D.apply exclusively to freshwater aquaculture, not the open sea
Show the answer
