On-the-Job-Training (OJT) Report

La Trinidad Regional Fish Farm

(Balili, La Trinidad)

Lamsis, Rashelle Libuatan

BACKGROUND OF THE STATION :
 LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE
PLACE:
 HISTORY OF THE STATION:

 1971 - La Trinidad Fish Farm was constructed by

FPC.

 30,000 sq. m - total land area of LTFF

 8664 sq.m - production area

 13,000 sq. m – infrastructure purposes

 PURPOSE OF THE STATION :
 LTRFF became the only fish seed propagation center
operating in the Highland Cordillera under the Department
of Agriculture (DA).
 Its main function focuses on the production of carp and
tilapia fingerlings of technologically superior breed for
dispersal and research purposes.
 It was also stipulated in the MOA that: a model set up of a
pilot freshwater fish nursery (LTFF) established within the
reservation shall be open for observation to generate fish
industry in the Mountain provinces and other neighboring
provinces.

INTRODUCTION :
Scientific Classification

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Actinopterygii
Order: Cypriniformes
Family: Cobitidae
Genus: Misgurnus
Species: angullicaudatus
 Temperature – 5- 25 degree C

 pH- 6.0 – 8.0 ppm

 Preferable area – muddy substrate

 Introduced in Trinidad River, Mountain Province
(Ref.280). Also (Ref. 1739, 12157). This species is popularly
called yu-yu in Ifugao. It has become notably abundant after
the Japanese occupation for which reasons (probably) it has
also to be known as Japanese fish, panipis, or palispis in
some places. Yu-yu since become a major source of protein
in the region, particularly in many areas beyond the reach of
fresh fish from coast. . The demand for this organically-
grown fish has increased not only in the region but also
abroad. This fish is now being promoted in the region as a
healthy food, being 70% protein, 20% calcium and
practically no cholesterol.
 SEX IDENTIFICATION OF LOACH

PROCEDURES:

1. Select Adult Catfish

- choose catfish that are
sexually matured.
- In using fresh PG the ratio
is 1:1, 1 kilogram of donor
and 1 kilogram of fish to be
injected.
2. Collection of Pituitary Gland of MALE catfish
3. Dissolve PG to the Saline Solution
- volume of saline solution depends on the number of PG.
4. Inject 0.1 ml PG solution to the
loach in its intramuscular.
-PG solution depends on the size of the
loach to be injected.
- After injection, massage the injected area so
that the solution will be scattered.
Stock the loach for 1 night before stripping
5. Collect testes from Male loach
-male loach must be sacrificed in induce
spawning.
6. Stripping of EGGS from FEMALE loach
7. Clean the Testes 8. Macerate the testes
- remove the blood and wash it
with saline solution.
9. Combine the EGG and the macerated TESTES.
-slowly shake the petri dish so that the eggs and the testes will be mixed
properly.
10. Incubate it in the incubation tank.
- after 1 minute slowly incubate it in the incubation tank. Do not
use flow-through immediately so that the eggs will not be thrown
away because there are still eggs that did not settle at the bottom.

Conclusion :
In general, the OJT have given the trainee an opportunity to
acquire practical skills and knowledge in management of
Loach. Hands on training that provided the trainee more
knowledge and exposures to the facilities and equipment in
the fish farm.
