5.9B understand the methods used to farm large numbers of fish to provide a source of protein, including maintaining water quality, controlling intraspecific and interspecific predation, controlling disease, removing waste products, controlling the quality and frequency of feeding, and selective breeding

There are a lot of methods to fish farming:

1. Maintenance of water quality
- water is filtered to remove harmful bacteria to prevent diseases and to maintain high oxygen levels for aerobic respiration.

2. Control of interspecific predation/intraspecific predation
- interspecific competition: competition between different species. Fishes of different species can be separated by fences, nets, and tanks to prevent interspecific competition
- intraspecific competition: competition within the same species. Fish can be separated by size and age using nets.

3. Control of disease
- fish are given antibiotics to increase resistance and to decrease the chances of spreading disease, hence increasing chances of survival.

4. Removal of waste product
- water can be filtered to remove wastes such as feces and sewage
- fences, nets, and tanks can be cleaned to remove waste products.
- the location of fish can be changed from time to time to ensure the cleanness of water.

5. Quality and frequency of feeding
- fish are fed in nutritious diets in small quantities to ensure growth and prevent overconsumption/predation.

6. Use of selective breeding
- farmers may use selective breeding to allow only the fast-growing fish to reproduce, resulting in large populations of fish.

  1. Goji Berries... yes... I tried those too.For my health conditions, Those sweet, red berries seemed to help, but only during the time when I consumed them. I don't want to take a drug for the rest of my life, so why would I want to take a natural supplement everyday for the rest of my life (although Goji berries are very tasty and are highly nourishing). To me this was not a cure either (and I'm LOOKING for the CURE).
    Up to that point, I hadn't found a cure. I felt like a young jumbled mess. I continued to have extreme pain, but continued on my path to healing. I started to focus on myself and not everyone else. When I was a young adult, I took on too much responsibility out of a sense of obligation. This was no longer healthy for me, so I resigned from all my projects and groups. Those days to come were the best [and worst] days. I took a lot of time off work, yet begun to feel so extremely exhausted. Many health professionals "diagnosed" me with adrenal fatigue & Hiv,Prostate Cancer so my situation was annoying then I keep searching for permanent cure online that's when I came to know of Dr Itua herbal center hands whom god has blessed with ancestral herbs and a gift to heal people with disease like .Cancers,Alzheimer's disease,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Diabetes, Multiple myeloma, Parkinson's disease,Neuroendocrine tumors,Herpes, Hiv/Aids,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,, chronic diarrhea, COPD,Love spell, Hepatitis... So I made a purchase of his herbal medicines and I have been watching my health for 6 years now and I actually confirmed that his herbal medicines are a permanent cure and I'm so happy that I came to know of his herbal healings.You can contact Dr Itua herbal center Email: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com WhatsApp: +2348149277967. if you went through exactly what I go through in terms of health conditions because to be honest there is more to learn about natural herbs than medical drugs.
