SAMPLE DEPED DETAILED LESSON

PLAN IN GRADE 9 TLE

Aquaculture and Global Common

Prepared by: Mark Anthony Llego

Competency
The students will verify, evaluate, and use results in a purposeful way. This includes analyzing
and interpreting data, making predictions based on observed pattern, testing solutions against the
original problem condition and formulating additional questions.

Learning Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the student be able to:

1. Distinguish Aquaculture to Agriculture.

2. Value the importance of Aquaculture in the Society.
3. Perform an activity which can describe outcomes of a self-interest strategy versus
a cooperative strategy for managing renewable resources.
Content
Aquaculture is the controlled cultivation and harvest of aquatic animals and plants. There are
many similarities between aquaculture and agriculture, but there are some important differences
as well. Aquaculture, like agriculture, is necessary in order to meet the food demands of a
growing global population with diminishing natural fisheries stocks. Unlike land under
cultivation, the world’s oceans, lakes, river and streams are usually public or common resources,
managing these common resources is often problematic.

Prior knowledge
The students may think that:

Aquaculture is just a way of culturing of fish or natural natural bodies of water and serve as
hobby or as source of income.
New Knowledge
The students will realize that:

Aquaculture can help overfish species recover, employ people, feed a growing population and
help our local, regional and national economy.

I. Introduction

Good Morning Class!

Good morning Ma’am!
How’s your day?
We’re fine Ma’am
Yesterday, we discussed the “the history of
aquaculture in the world” (Students raising their hands)

What have you learned?

Ma’am I learned that Aquaculture began in

China around 3500 B.C. and Chinese
Yes, Francis developed the use of aquaculture, means the
art of growing more than one species at a
time.

Very good Francis!

So, who practiced to culture trout and mullet in Maam, the Romans practiced both
both freshwater and saltwater aquaculture? freshwater and saltwater aquaculture. Fish
 such as trout and Mullet were raised in
ponds called “stews”.

Thank you my dear students for the good

answers. Now we can proceed to our new Yes Ma’am we’re ready!
lesson, are you ready class?

Our lesson for today is about Aquaculture and

global common. So class, what do you think (Student raising their hands)
this all about? Any idea?

I think our lesson for today is about

Yes Mary
Aquaculture practices Ma’am.

Ma’am, For me it is about the present status

of aquatic environment and how aquaculture

can help to recover the species from to much
stress that cause by humans.

Very good class, so let’s find out what really

our topic is all about Ma’am based on what I read Aquaculture,
like Agriculture is the cultivation and
Class, I have question… Are Aquaculture and harvest of plants and animals for human use.
Agriculture similar? In essence, aquaculture and agriculture are
both farming.
Yes, Bianca

Very good Bianca, In addition on what Bianca

said, Aquaculture is framing in water,
(One student raising his hand)
therefore requires different set of knowledge,
skills and technology.

I’ve got a question Ma’am, which is more

Yes, Jake
difficult to do Aquaculture or Agriculture?

Class, aquaculture and agriculture are both

hard to do, they just differ in terms of
Culturing/cultivating plants and animals and
the environment of course in Aquaculture it I see, thank you Ma’am
means on water while agriculture it is on land.
But if you have the knowledge and skills
everything will be easy to do.

Class, aquaculture takes place in three general (Students listening to the discussion)
aquatic environments these are:

1. Warmwater Aquaculture- is culturing plants

and animals which thrive in warn and
freshwater.

2. Cold water Aquaculture-is culturing species

in cool freshwater.

3. Mariculture-(marine culture) is culturing

plants and animals which are accustomed to
living in a saltwater or brackish environment.

Which aquatic species are cultured in warm

The aquatic species culture or thrive in
water/Freshwater?
warm water are catfish, crayfish , bait-fish,
sport-fish and ornamental fishes.
Yes, Mary

Because these species Ma’am their biology

How do you say that these species can be is to thrive in fresh water or warm water

salinity like sea or brackishwater.

Very good Mary!

How about in Cold water environment?

(the students are thinking and no one raises
Anyone? Okay no one raises their hands, so

class the species that we can culture or thrive
in cold water are trout and salmon because
they can tolerate the low temperature of the
water and it is also in their biology.

Ma’am, we can culture oyster, clams,

species that can be culture in marine They can be culture in Marine waters
environment and why? because they can tolerate the high salinity of
the sea.

Very good class, now that we know the three

general aquatic environments and the species
which can thrive or culture in these
environment. Who do you think practices
aquaculture and why? So I have a slide here

(Teacher showing the PowerPoint slide)

Who wants to read the Public Sector/ (one student read the Public/Restoration

Thank you James!
Because Ma’am if the aquatic species
continue to deplete the aquatic resources like

class?

Exactly James, because if the threatened

species become extinct in the future there will
be no Atlantic Salmon that can be catch, so we
need to protect those species that are
threatened so that they can produced more for
our generation.

Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources is

one of the examples of a public sector because
they are responsible for the development,
improvement, management and conservation
of fisheries and aquatic resources in the
Philippines.

So, what else do you think is an example of

Public Sector in the Philippines?

Department of Environment and Natural

Yes, Bianca
Resources Ma’am.

Very good, DENR is also responsible for the
conservation, management, development, and
proper use of the country’s environment and
natural resources.
Do you think private sector can help the
restoration of aquatic species or threatened
species even their main motive is for profit?
How?
Yes Ma’am they can help in restoration of
aquatic resources or threatened species
because I believe that they have some
programs which engaged in helping the
aquatic environment to be productive again,
I’ve read an article about a private company
who planted mangrove in Siargao, and we
all know that mangroves serve as nursery
ground for fishes.

In addition to that, not just because their (student reading handout of the different
priority is for profit it is not necessarily that stages for aquaculture)
they cannot help the aquatic species to be
restored. They help in terms of culturing
aquatic species like Tilapia, Bangus, Seaweed
and other species because of that they help the
economy to progress by exporting these
product in the other country and supply the
necessary needs of the community or the
society rather.

Now, that we know the 2 sectors for

aquaculture let us know the the different stages
for Aquaculture for Finfishes and shellfish. I
have here handouts

(Asking one student to distribute the handouts)

Now, that you have your handouts i want you

to read it aloud in the class and give your own
idea that stages and what comes to your mind
whenever you heard that word.

(The reading session took 10 minutes)

Okay class, I’ll give you 5 minutes to review (Students grouped their selves into 4)
the handouts that I gave to you and after that I
want you to group yourselves into 4 groups.

Did you group yourselves into four?

Are you ready? Yes Maam!

(Teacher giving instruction to the class)

Okay class now that you have your groups I

want you to form a circle and answer this
activity sheet. The points or score that you will
get from this activity will be added in your
(Student Activity Sheet)
next activity later.

I’ll give you 5 minutes to answer your activity

sheet.

(After 5 minutes)

Class, are you done?

Yes Ma’am we are done!
Okay let see which group got the highest score

(Teacher checked the work of 4 groups)

Class, are you excited for the result of this Yes Ma’am we are excited to know whose
activity? group got the highest score.
Group 3 got the highest score, they got 7 out of
10 give them a very good clap! The second
group got the highest score is group 1, they got
6 out 10, give them a good clap. And group 2
and group 4 got the same score 5 out of 10
give them a good clap. I hope that in our
second activity group 2 and 4 will get a highest (the students did the clap for the groups who
score. You can do it class! got the highest scores)

Now, that were done with our 1nd activity we

will proceed in our next activity but before that
I want you to give a short information that is
essential for us, that can also help you in our
next activity.

II. Interaction (Student Handout Picture)

Now our next activity will be aquaculture and

the global common. I will give you hand outs
again and we will use peanuts and bowls. Each
group has their own bowls of peanuts. But
(The students starts the Activity)
before that I will discuss the ground rules for
this game.
1st Trial
Ground Rules:
Group 1: Harvested all the fish inside the

fishes are left in the sea
• When the game begins, you may harvest all
the fish, some of the fish or none.
2nd Trial
• You will have 2, 20 second trials in which to
harvest fish. You will be notified when to start
Group 1: No fishes were added
and stop each trial.
Group 2: 6 fishes were added with the total
• If the fish remain in the sea after each trial, a
of 12 and they harvested 10 fishes
new fish will be added for each one remaining.
Group 3: 10 fishes were added to the sea
If there are four fish left, four more can be
with the total of 20 they harvested 12 fishes
added. But for each new trial. The total
Group 4: 8 fishes were added to the sea with
number of fish in the sea cannot be more than
the total of 16 fishes and harvested 8 fishes
the carrying capacity of 16 fish.

Now that you know the rules let’s start the

game
Hello Class, our game is done. Did you enjoy
catching fish in the sea?
Yes Ma’am, we enjoyed the game!
Now let’s go to our discussion about the game
that we did.

Ma’am we had 16 points in the first trial but

Ma’am we got 20 points because in the

What were the maximum numbers of points
achieved by individual? Any group? Group 1?
Group 2? Group 3?

Ma’am, our group got 18 points cause in
second trial 10 fishes were added so it helps
us to get fishes again

Ma’am. We got 16 points as well as group

condition; if all fishes are harvested no
additional fish will be born.
Yes Jake!

Very Good Jake!

Why is the population of the sea limited to 16

fish? What do you think class?
No idea Ma’am
Carrying Capacity represents the maximum
number of organism that can be supported by
the ecosystem.

If a group don’t use a cooperative strategy

they will come up with a wrong strategy
What happens when members of a group do
because some of the group idea is not
not use cooperative strategy?
consider, it will be just a one sided decision.
We must use a cooperative strategy so that
Yes Mark
you will be success in the activity like in the
quote “two heads is better than one”

What do you think was the best strategy for Ma’am harvest 8 for each trial
harvesting this commons?

Very good class!

How does aquaculture relate this common

dilemma?

Yes bianca

Very good Bianca!

Ma’am, If we culture more aquatic species
My last question from this activity, and catch less wild species, depleted fish
Aquaculture alone will not solve the commons stocks will begin to recover
dilemma why?

Yes James

Very Good James!

In addition to that, National and International
regulations are needed, many aquatic species
which are being overharvested are not
currently being cultured.
For me Ma’am Global population is still
rising, cooperation is needed between
different nations , corporations, fisherman
and aquaculturist.

Transition statement:

Very good! I hope you learned a lot in our

discussion that overharvesting has a great
impact in our aquatic environment,
Aquaculture helps to recover the aquatic
species that being depleted.
