That’s a mind-boggling amount of time spent evolving and adapting to their habitat—a habitat that no tank can rival. The following are some interesting facts about fish:</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; direction: ltr; font-family: proxima-nova, sans-serif; font-size: 1.5625em; line-height: 1.09; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> 1. They are far more intelligent than they get credit for:</h2> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Researchers have found that fish recognize each other and gather information by eavesdropping. They’re capable of remembering past social interactions that they’ve had with other fish, and they show affection by rubbing against each other. Dr. Sylvia Earle—one of the world’s leading marine biologists—said, “I wouldn’t deliberately eat a grouper any more than I’d eat a cocker spaniel. They’re so good-natured, so curious. You know, fish are sensitive, they have personalities, they hurt when they’re wounded.”</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7EbEcZxY6YhbnLoRZUKX43FkEhy5IVuvsd3BWWUl4_s_U5_m5IiQXL5kJSJnjkgg2PTaYN2ShvHh6pixrpfUNL3ge2MVTqOVk9isKG0_kiN17a1UW3n_SDeuN2bERraViG2FN7TnI2e2r/s1600/Tropical-Fish.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7EbEcZxY6YhbnLoRZUKX43FkEhy5IVuvsd3BWWUl4_s_U5_m5IiQXL5kJSJnjkgg2PTaYN2ShvHh6pixrpfUNL3ge2MVTqOVk9isKG0_kiN17a1UW3n_SDeuN2bERraViG2FN7TnI2e2r/s320/Tropical-Fish.jpg" width="640"></a></div> <div> </div><a href="http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2016/04/9-reasons-why-fish-are-really-sad-pets.html#more">Click For More Stories</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/XRplwV</div>http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2016/04/9-reasons-why-fish-are-really-sad-pets.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Onchobob Umbriak)6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931606583120232966.post-5521274258288592071Sun, 15 Nov 2015 07:50:00 +00002015-11-15T15:51:43.886+08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFflBRBCX-UMf7OnYfUaRpOEtnWIU1G2lEBXAYo5MAqDB-CwlB2zbCltT9uIVrl_3AXCf2sA1ScLz-cxA_agndxsEuoxfiHI3w0i6AEmd-BiC7CjPYVQniFXo3yFcYaLOcBPB6MWDADjrS/s1600/8767503-Fisherman-and-fish-in-the-river-Funny-cartoon--Stock-Vector-fishing-fish-landscape.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="397" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFflBRBCX-UMf7OnYfUaRpOEtnWIU1G2lEBXAYo5MAqDB-CwlB2zbCltT9uIVrl_3AXCf2sA1ScLz-cxA_agndxsEuoxfiHI3w0i6AEmd-BiC7CjPYVQniFXo3yFcYaLOcBPB6MWDADjrS/s400/8767503-Fisherman-and-fish-in-the-river-Funny-cartoon--Stock-Vector-fishing-fish-landscape.jpg" width="400"></a></div> <div> <br></div> If you are thinking about things to do to occupy your free time, why not go for Roach or Carp fishing.

That&#39;s one indicator of freshness. However, after the fish has come home, gone into the fridge, or been frozen and thawed, even your freshly bought fish may start to take on a fishy smell. The solution is easy: A quick soak in a bowl of milk, and that fishy smell is all gone. <br></div><a href="http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2012/09/soak-fish-in-milk-for-odor-free-cooking.html#more">Click For More Stories</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/XRplwV</div>http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2012/09/soak-fish-in-milk-for-odor-free-cooking.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Onchobob Umbriak)69tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931606583120232966.post-968025126565739999Sun, 22 Jul 2012 03:01:00 +00002012-07-22T11:02:03.964+08:00breedingcrabfreshwater<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg18sJb6bkrlQG_a9l-vYKJRRNg20SIjWEG9V6ExJ6Uj_DE4XYox0WTUxdu0WATnlwbY-HgCgFTQunmjlhH6qg3Oxc0OPVE7e9qjOhkj1BGeAKG-vkHPKWFX7ZGn9l4hiN7JR0OI1gs0jOR/s1600/crab+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="345" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg18sJb6bkrlQG_a9l-vYKJRRNg20SIjWEG9V6ExJ6Uj_DE4XYox0WTUxdu0WATnlwbY-HgCgFTQunmjlhH6qg3Oxc0OPVE7e9qjOhkj1BGeAKG-vkHPKWFX7ZGn9l4hiN7JR0OI1gs0jOR/s640/crab+1.jpg" width="640"></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Crab breeding is a lucrative business, I was told. Now, it doesn’t take a math nerd to tell you that this is a venture worth looking into. It’s increasingly rare that the crabs you eat come from the wild. Brown crabs in particular are sensitive to changes in water salinity. Storms that wash in too much freshwater or sea water will affect the population. If mangrove swamps go the way scientists say they will, brown crabs may one day have to be 100% farm-raised.<br> </div><a href="http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2012/07/crab-breeding.html#more">Click For More Stories</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/XRplwV</div>http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2012/07/crab-breeding.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Onchobob Umbriak)14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931606583120232966.post-2126883767609243103Sun, 15 Apr 2012 05:50:00 +00002012-04-15T13:50:31.822+08:00ocean pollution<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR9eXuIxLuyvkW-paq7t_ZUxhiNqWNqgtlzPeWiEcB3ALque748tyhq6Dp2IVHbQgVSl2fWV-ME8e5k9a34fXsgd3v6OWNMW2LXa2M9Fkt3zc_dAqL-u3V-MCorq2lh8eLDQuW3URD5vbM/s1600/boatgarbagepollution.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR9eXuIxLuyvkW-paq7t_ZUxhiNqWNqgtlzPeWiEcB3ALque748tyhq6Dp2IVHbQgVSl2fWV-ME8e5k9a34fXsgd3v6OWNMW2LXa2M9Fkt3zc_dAqL-u3V-MCorq2lh8eLDQuW3URD5vbM/s640/boatgarbagepollution.JPG" width="640"></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Whenever someone takes their boat onto the water for a ride, it is creating pollution that can be very harmful to the sea life.

Found in relatively deep waters, these animals are sometimes called slime eels, but they are not really eels, and actually, they may not even be fish at all, according to some scientists. They are very bizarre animals in all regards; they have a skull but lack a spine, and they have two brains. Almost blind, they feed at night on the carcasses of large animals (fish, cetaceans etc) which fall to the sea bottom. They owe their “slime eel” nickname to the fact that they produce a slimey substance to damage the gills of predatory fish; as a result, they have virtually no natural enemies.</div><a href="http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2011/08/top-10-prehistoric-fish-alive-today.html#more">Click For More Stories</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/XRplwV</div>http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2011/08/top-10-prehistoric-fish-alive-today.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Onchobob Umbriak)4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931606583120232966.post-3672695394158265348Thu, 21 Jul 2011 04:56:00 +00002011-07-21T12:56:29.430+08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9DYcBYjTYJmmr3sWrzREKnAeopCl2t1Oth-tT0-Mz2bJKnc_85NMbE-QZuXiPEiO-nFGozWIxEdmYjIIeAi-SDDrSHufLP0GWgOnjBXxg0PJLinDTAGRHoxMD21miK8-e3cHjLJN3_vAd/s1600/Market_Fresh_Fish_on_Ice.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9DYcBYjTYJmmr3sWrzREKnAeopCl2t1Oth-tT0-Mz2bJKnc_85NMbE-QZuXiPEiO-nFGozWIxEdmYjIIeAi-SDDrSHufLP0GWgOnjBXxg0PJLinDTAGRHoxMD21miK8-e3cHjLJN3_vAd/s400/Market_Fresh_Fish_on_Ice.jpg" width="400"></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fish are not meat.

To many people, the impression of a Kelong is more of a resort for families than a place for fishing, as the catch is often not as good compared to boat fishing. To a certain extent it’s true, as the fishing spots are determined by our casting distance around the perimeter of the kelong.

Don&#39;t just jump in and start fishing in the spot that you think looks the best or just fish the water directly below where you&#39;re wading. </div><a href="http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2011/03/river-fishing-tips.html#more">Click For More Stories</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/XRplwV</div>http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2011/03/river-fishing-tips.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Onchobob Umbriak)6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931606583120232966.post-8060301608015037468Fri, 25 Mar 2011 10:49:00 +00002011-03-25T18:49:28.290+08:00<div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC6bpIVIY_UnjSsJkVlSA0f6w6W-IvY9SFvWaFkcA8rx7JvPRnuSjA-c9qgg-9oNt8b2IUuZ2eR_V7YHytXwCJ51ARWpvLtqEQnEAcCnihP2zKbQmnVB-qoZib3mJiLUdcQTC8Cf3YuyR3/s1600/fish+pellet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC6bpIVIY_UnjSsJkVlSA0f6w6W-IvY9SFvWaFkcA8rx7JvPRnuSjA-c9qgg-9oNt8b2IUuZ2eR_V7YHytXwCJ51ARWpvLtqEQnEAcCnihP2zKbQmnVB-qoZib3mJiLUdcQTC8Cf3YuyR3/s320/fish+pellet.jpg" width="320" /></a>Do you know that there are 3 types of food pellet used for Tilapia breeding?

The species of fish belongs to the carp family and is called Paedocypris progenetica . It is the world&#39;s smallest vertebrate or backboned animal and believe it or not, is living in acid. <br> <br> The tiny, see-through Paedocypris fish have the appearance of larvae and have a reduced head skeleton, which leaves the brain unprotected by bone. They live in dark tea-coloured waters with an acidity of pH3, which is at least 100 times more acidic than rainwater. <br> <br> &#39;This is one of the strangest fish that I&#39;ve seen in my whole career&#39;, said Ralf Britz, zoologist at the Natural History Museum. <br> <br> &#39;It&#39;s tiny, it lives in acid and it has these bizarre grasping fins. I hope we&#39;ll have time to find out more about them before their habitat disappears completely.&#39; <br> <a href="http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2011/02/world-smallest-fish.html#more">Click For More Stories</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/XRplwV</div>http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2011/02/world-smallest-fish.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Onchobob Umbriak)13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931606583120232966.post-8442572681302181085Thu, 17 Feb 2011 05:50:00 +00002011-02-17T13:50:04.560+08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihp1qXXZRUwy9fXqzPffqD-OjdFoLOphLeZhqXKnnRyqIUpmATV3yJRzaSeC42l3JdHQWQdcQYLgNDId4WLRd4MiSAY2n-C0yiPs_3XWvuWPstRJ7Ob43T5CPdcKfLJofPIRO5UpZxa2NJ/s1600/Shark-school-of-fish.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihp1qXXZRUwy9fXqzPffqD-OjdFoLOphLeZhqXKnnRyqIUpmATV3yJRzaSeC42l3JdHQWQdcQYLgNDId4WLRd4MiSAY2n-C0yiPs_3XWvuWPstRJ7Ob43T5CPdcKfLJofPIRO5UpZxa2NJ/s400/Shark-school-of-fish.jpg" width="400"></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is interesting to know how Japanese solved the problem of stale fish.

However, several supermarkets and many independent organic retailers now stock organic fishes produced in fish farms. Several types of farmed mussels and shellfish are also likely to become more widely available in the future. I know some people who farmed freshwater lobster but I&#39;m not sure whether its organic or not.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">In organic fish farming, many of the pesticides, dyes and antibiotics widely used in conventional fish farming are not permitted and so these fish products are generally accepted to be credible organic products by both the soil association and consumers.<br> </div><a href="http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2011/02/is-there-such-thing-as-organic-fish.html#more">Click For More Stories</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/XRplwV</div>http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2011/02/is-there-such-thing-as-organic-fish.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Onchobob Umbriak)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931606583120232966.post-4768828619351151642Mon, 24 Jan 2011 05:48:00 +00002011-01-24T13:48:38.436+08:00<div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVDiTFvhm5Amdcth5R5KOWBihGKrzDm1KX_HItM0xIDSqIgwkU4YFamVj6popfRQ02kCAvENrc-joWBeznILh0y5YmE3liRjunulGRzUf46C-PgPK6uBr5bCggeCPIfUQbnGR40I3vcDcM/s1600/muro-ami-kids-at-the-side-of-boat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVDiTFvhm5Amdcth5R5KOWBihGKrzDm1KX_HItM0xIDSqIgwkU4YFamVj6popfRQ02kCAvENrc-joWBeznILh0y5YmE3liRjunulGRzUf46C-PgPK6uBr5bCggeCPIfUQbnGR40I3vcDcM/s400/muro-ami-kids-at-the-side-of-boat.jpg" width="400"></a>Child slave labor refers to the illegal employment of children below 18 years of age in hazardous occupations. Underage children are being forced to manual labor to help their families mainly due to poverty. <br> <br> Child labor has many ill effects in children who are supposed to be in the environment of a classroom rather than roaming the streets and risking every chance, time and time again, to earn money. Although most do get the privilege of education, most end up being dropouts and repeaters because they are not able to focus on their studies. Because of child labor, children suffer from malnutrition, hampered growth, and improper biological development.</div><a href="http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2011/01/child-slave-of-deep-sea.html#more">Click For More Stories</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/XRplwV</div>http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2011/01/child-slave-of-deep-sea.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Onchobob Umbriak)5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931606583120232966.post-4432052296818901079Wed, 19 Jan 2011 03:23:00 +00002011-01-19T11:23:46.242+08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDo_oLyxtI0Zj06CG9tudStog_1Eyo3r5hpwU6d7k8kZASA-Y9gVypWqTFqu5fPowbIvvD-Z3fxbyBxGVvZNXprq0AB8oP0kCp_IG6-dl5GbudGKHXv8JdtrCr6gqhKcZHOkkeZIEQ2iqz/s1600/finished.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDo_oLyxtI0Zj06CG9tudStog_1Eyo3r5hpwU6d7k8kZASA-Y9gVypWqTFqu5fPowbIvvD-Z3fxbyBxGVvZNXprq0AB8oP0kCp_IG6-dl5GbudGKHXv8JdtrCr6gqhKcZHOkkeZIEQ2iqz/s640/finished.JPG" width="640"></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Muro-ami fishing trawlers, mostly unseaworthy, stay out at sea for up to ten months. They roam the seas and drop anchor in areas of coral reefs and atolls. The stinking, unsanitary, and cramped quarters are often packed with as many as 400 to 500 adult crew and little boys as young as 7 years old. </div><a href="http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2011/01/muroami-child-exploitation-and-murder.html#more">Click For More Stories</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/XRplwV</div>http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2011/01/muroami-child-exploitation-and-murder.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Onchobob Umbriak)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931606583120232966.post-7158098016213667803Wed, 12 Jan 2011 06:16:00 +00002011-01-12T14:16:31.892+08:00<div style="text-align: justify;">The Muroami fishing technique, employed on coral reefs in Southeast Asia, uses an encircling net together with pounding devices. These devices usually comprise large stones fitted on ropes that are pounded onto the coral reefs. They can also consist of large heavy blocks of cement that are suspended above the sea by a crane fitted to the vessel. The pounding devices are repeatedly and violently lowered into the area encircled by the net, literally smashing the coral in that area into small fragments in order to scare the fish out of their coral refuges. The &quot;crushing&quot; effect of the pounding process on the coral heads has been described as having long lasting and practically totally destructive effects.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs8D5bRvHDvzYSXrutBfZ0SNimHHyNEAkYfox4T5iTAP3TRkryX-gnSM7cj9UjqBSvmGMwwN1T2Vp4geUDwivdIsjNwndYhOmCYqBvaPWYFOrnzPSuXmk-WPLYP8AgZqJALKZRuesv1TAP/s1600/y1pi5XmiHxnmTKkr5Oy6RZEgOdcC1nc_KZiBYJ2SwIK7RU71nFI-I8-H9lJVzAI-LQklmTfan7y7Gw.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs8D5bRvHDvzYSXrutBfZ0SNimHHyNEAkYfox4T5iTAP3TRkryX-gnSM7cj9UjqBSvmGMwwN1T2Vp4geUDwivdIsjNwndYhOmCYqBvaPWYFOrnzPSuXmk-WPLYP8AgZqJALKZRuesv1TAP/s400/y1pi5XmiHxnmTKkr5Oy6RZEgOdcC1nc_KZiBYJ2SwIK7RU71nFI-I8-H9lJVzAI-LQklmTfan7y7Gw.jpeg" width="288"></a>Muroami netting is a dangerous fishing practice that has led to extensive coral reef deterioration in the region.  In many countries that use this practice, as many as 300 young boys, 10 to 15 years old, are used to set the nets and bang on the coral. They are called Muro-Ami or Reef Hunter. This is also one of the worst forms of child labor in the illegal fishing system. The divers, who consist mostly of children, usually have to take at least few dives a day.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="txtmoun">Muroami or Kayakas is a Japanese-inspired fishing technique that once devastated the fragile marine life of the country. The procedure comprises groups of swimmers particularly children that are harnessed to a waiting net loaded down with scarelines like coconut leaves or plastic streamers attached to it at 1 meter intervals to create the illusion of a wall and dragged across the ocean floor as it slowly traps in on the fish. </span><span id="ctl00_MainContentPlaceholder_ctl01_ctl00_lblEntry">It also involves sending a large group of divers to depths of 30-90 feet, without protective clothing or gear save for homemade wooden goggles. These divers plunge into the waters below armed with metal weights or large stones fitted on ropes to vigorously pound or bang on corals to drive fish out and into the waiting nets. Corals are eventually smashed in the process. </span></div><a href="http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2011/01/muroami-destruction.html#more">Click For More Stories</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/XRplwV</div>http://aqualifeforyou.blogspot.com/2011/01/muroami-destruction.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Onchobob Umbriak)2
