Introduction
Definition of fishery
Fishery refers to management and production of fish and other
aquatic animals. Of all animals living in water, fish is the most
plentiful of them. Fish belongs to the group of aquatic vertebrates
i.e. they have back bones .They are specially adapted to live, raised
and reproduced in water.
The shape of their body enables them to move easily in
water; swim bladder helps them to maintain their balance while
the gills are used for respiration. All aquatic animals are found in
water bodies such as lakes, pond, streams, rivers, oceans, lagoons
and swamps. Other aquatic animals include whales, dolphins,
shrimps, lobster, hippopotamus e.t.c.

water such as ponds ,lakes, streams, rivers, swamps e.t.c. Examples of fresh
water fish are tilapia, cat fish, Nile perch, mud dogfish, moon fish e.t.c.

2. Salt water fish:


These are fish which can live and reproduce successfully in saline (salt)
water like lagoons, oceans, and seas. Examples are dog fish, shark, croaker, sole,
and mackerel e.t.c.
Brief Notes
Classification based on morphology
1. Bony fish:
These are fish that have the structure of their body made up of bones e.g.
tilapia, carps, cat fish, croaker, mackerel etc:

2. Cartilaginous fish: These are fish which have the structure of their body made up of
cartilage e.g. dog fish, rays, shark, etc.
