equipment and tools used by
fishermen to catch fish or other aquatic
organisms.
Scoop Net
Versatile and practical tool for collecting aquatic organisms invarious aquatic environments,
providing valuable information for scientific research, conservation efforts, and recreational
activities.
Seine Net
Versatile and effective tools for catching fish and other aquatic organisms, making
them valuable assets in both commercial and recreational fishing activities.
Cast Net
A type of fishing net that is thrown or cast by hand to catch fish and
other aquatic organisms. It consists of a circular net with weights along the perimeter and a
series of hand loops or "brails" that gather the net when it is retrieved.
Hand Diggers and Collectors
Manual tools used in various aquatic activities to gather or harvest organisms from
the substrate or water column.
Dredges
Mechanical devices used to remove sediment, debris, or unwanted
materials from the bottom of ponds, lakes, rivers, or coastal areas.
Spears
Tools used for catching fish and other aquatic organisms by piercing or
impaling them.
Stupefying Aids
Substances used in aquaculture and fisheries management to immobilize or stun
fish temporarily.
Hooks and Lines
Also known as angling gear, are traditional and widely used tools in fisheries for
catching fish.
Stationery Entangling Nets
Also known as passive fishing gear or fixed fishing gear, are fishing nets that are set
in a fixed location and rely on the movement of fish to become entangled.
Stationary enclosures
Also known as fish traps or fish weirs, are fishing structuresdesigned to capture fish
as they swim through or around them.
Worked Example
Read the story "Tales from the Tides: A
Journey in Aquaculture and Fishing"
carefully. After reading, make a list of the
aquaculture tools, equipment, and fishing
gears you identified.
Tales from the Tides: A Journey in Aquaculture and Fishing
Once upon a time, nestled along the serene coastline of a small fishing village, there lived
a young entrepreneur named Mia. Mia had always been fascinated by the ocean and its
bountiful treasures. Determined to make a difference in her community while pursuing
her passion, Mia embarked on a journey into the world of aquaculture and fishing.
Armed with her knowledge and a variety of tools and equipment, Mia set out to establish
her own aquaculture farm. She carefully selected a site with clean, nutrient-rich waters
and began setting up her operation. Among her essential tools were water pump which
used for recirculation purposes, laboratory thermometer, which for monitoring water
temperature.
Tales from the Tides: A Journey in Aquaculture and Fishing
She also has valuable tools for measuring and monitoring pH accurately
and efficiently, tool for measuring salinity accurately and efficiently and tool which play
a vital role in water quality monitoring and management, providing essential data for
ensuring the health and sustainability of aquatic environments
As Mia's aquaculture farm flourished, she recognized the importance of sustainable
practices. She employed innovative feeding systems that minimized waste and reduced
environmental impact. Mia's dedication to sustainability extended to her choice of fishing
gears as well. When she ventured into traditional fishing practices, she opted for selective
gear like traditional and widely used tools in fisheries for catching fish, tools used for
catching fish and other aquatic organisms by piercing or impaling them.
Tales from the Tides: A Journey in Aquaculture and Fishing
She also hasdifferent kinds of net, the first type is a versatile and practical tool for collecting
aquatic organisms in various aquatic environments, the second one is a type of fishing net
thatis thrown or cast by hand to catch fish and other aquatic organisms. And the last type
is a versatile and effective tool for catching fish and other aquatic organisms, making
them valuable assets in both commercial and recreational fishing activities.

Basic Fishing Bait
Methods
Day 3
Explicitation
Fishing has evolved significantly over the centuries, with
both traditional and modern methods standing the test of
time. While modern fishing techniques incorporate advanced
technology and innovative gear, traditional methods hold a
deep-rooted
connection to the past.
Traditional Fishing Techniques
Hand line Fishing- Explore the simplicity of hand line fishing, a traditional
method where anglers use a single line with bait or lures, often practiced from
shore or small boats.
Traditional Fishing Techniques
Spearfishing- Dive into the ancient practice of spearfishing, which involves using
a spear or trident to catch fish in their natural habitat.
Traditional Fishing Techniques
Cast Netting- Discover the art of cast netting, a method still prevalent in many
coastal regions, where a weighted net is thrown to capture schools of fish.
Modern Fishing Techniques
Rod and Reel Fishing- Embrace the versatility of rod and reel fishing, offering
precision casting and better control over the fight with fish.
Modern Fishing Techniques
Trolling- Utilize modern trolling techniques, which involve trailing lures or baited
lines behind a moving boat to cover a larger area and target active fish.
Modern Fishing Techniques
Fly Fishing- Dive into the art of fly fishing, employing specialized rods and
artificial flies to mimic insects and entice selective fish species.

Day 4
Post-Harvest Handling Activities
1. Sorting and Grading- involves the separation of harvested products based on
various criteria, such as quality, size and shape.
a. Size and Weight Sorting- Fish are sorted based on their size, which may
influence market value and consumer preferences. Larger fish may command
higher prices in some markets, while smaller fish may be preferred for specific
culinary purposes.
b. Quality Sorting- Fish are visually inspected for quality attributes such as color,
texture, firmness, and overall appearance. Damaged, bruised, or discolored fish
are sorted out to prevent them from affecting the quality of the entire batch.
Post-Harvest Handling Activities
2. Storing- This is essential for preserving the freshness, quality, and safety of fish. By
following these guidelines, fish producers and seafood handlers can ensure that their
products reach consumers in optimal condition, maximizing their value and satisfaction.
