Conducting A Survey

To Find Out –Kinds Of

Fish Raised As Means
Of Livelihood
 Review:
•What are the
animals raised for
livelihood?
 Motivation:
• Look at the picture. What kind of fish are
the following?
 Discussion:
• Fishing is an important Philippine industry.
It ranks next to farming and livestock
raising in providing the food requirements
of the population. Fish comes next to rice as
the staple food of the Filipinos. Fishing
employs thousands and millions are
dependent on the industry for their
livelihood. Through the ages, fishing has
been one of the earliest occupations known
to man.
• It has grow from crude and
simple beginning into a
complex industry with modern
equipment and installations.
The commodities that man
derived from the oceans, seas,
lakes, and rivers are more
numerous and varied than what
is commonly known.
• Fish provides the protein which is
needed in the human diet. Fisheries
are perhaps the most poorly
managed of all the natural resources.
The unscientific assumption that
man can never exhaust the resources
of the sea has placed upon nature the
entire responsibility for renewal and
replenishment.
• Many of us have a fish pond in our
backyard. Some of us are raising
fish in them for ornamental
purposes and many of us also raise
fish for personal consumption or
for profit.The fish you choose to
raise would depend on your needs
and also your area and pond size.
• Some fish can grow really large
and also in large numbers, and
so, you will need to consider
your pond size. You also need
to consider your climate. Some
fish do well in warm weather
and others do not.
• Raising fish in your backyard
pond can be a really rewarding
experience. A fish pond in your 
backyard garden would
dramatically change the feel of
your garden. It would be a
relaxing place where your whole
family could gather and have
some quality time. 
• Backyard fish farming is
also one of the solutions for
producing your own 
organic food for survival,
which is high in nutritional
value. It could also become
a way to generate a steady
income.
• Some of the fish that could be raised as means of
livelihood.
• 1. Tilapia are mainly freshwater fish inhabiting
shallow streams, ponds, rivers and lakes and
less commonly found living in brackish

probably the oldest farm raised fish in the
• 2. Trout
• Trout is a tasty fish that have a
great food conversion ratio and
they grow fast, which is also fun
to watch. They do well in colder
weather, so colder regions are
perfect for them. 
Raising trout in a small pond has
many benefits.
• Koi
• Koi is a spectacular fish that come in a
variety of colors. They are ideal for your
backyard pond, can be raised as ornamental
fish or for food. They are highly resilient
and can survive the summer heat and severe
winter weathers, even when the pond is
frozen. Koi in your pond can grow quite
large, so consider digging a large pond
because you don’t want to overcrowd them
when they grow large.
• 4. Milk fish -
The milkfish (Chanos chanos) is
the sole living species in the
family Chanidae.
.
5 Catfish - Catfish are a diverse
group of ray-finned fish. Named for
their prominent barbels, which
resemble a cat's
whiskers, catfish range in size and
behavior.
 Discussion:
• Aside from those
being mentioned, what
other fish could be
raised for livelihood?
 Application:
• If someday, you will
put –up fish farming,
what fish will you
raise?
 Generalization:
•What are some of
the examples of fish
that could be raised
for livelihood?
