Explain How To Determine The Compatibility Of A Fish

Identifying and knowing the compatibility of a fish is an important aspect to know when deciding where to place it. There are many different types of fish but it is easy to identify what the fish is, based on its physical appearance. Also, based on the appearance it is easy to determine whether it is ancient or modern. Compatibility is a key aspect to meet the fishes needs and safety.
Identifying fish is based on what physical appearances the fish may have and what tanks they are separated into. For example, the rounded tail of a bullhead and forked tail of a catfish is what determines what type of fish it is classified as. The sunfish tank includes bluegill, green sunfish, redear , and rockbass. The bluegill has a solid black opercular flap. …show more content…
The fish need to be compatible in order for them to stay alive. It is important they are with other fish that have the same needs. Another condition to acknowledge is territory areas and overcrowding problems. Fish become aggressive when their territory is being taken away, and if there is too much overcrowding it causes stress on the fish and may cause more aggressiveness. It is also considered to ensure that the fish have the right surroundings they have adapted to, whether it's driftwood to hide in or rocks and small cave like structures the fish can lay in. At Aksarben Aquarium they make sure to put the right fish in the right tanks so that the fishes needs are met and are kept from any harm. It is very important to consider the needs of a fish before throwing it into a random tank, compatibility is the …show more content…
There needs to be a prevention of allowing introductions of bighead, black, grass, and silver carps into the United States. In the following goals it explains how the preventions are taken out to make sure there is no reproduction or entry of the species. Federal, state, and tribal stakeholders are required to contain the species and prevent them from repopulating. This takes a big effort and dedication of resources and the power to establish the wildfire management, suppression, or sea lamprey to control in the Great lakes. There are nine strategies to maintain the Asian carp but research is needed to improve. There needs to be multiple control strategies likes the ones applied in the Great lakes. Strategies for reduction in population: education and awareness, increase in recreational harvesting, physical removal by management agencies, biological controls such as diseases and parasites, release of sterile Asian carp, release of transgenic Asian carp to reduce target population, application of pheromone to enhance and harvest with reproduction, modification in habitat to favor native fishes over Asaic carp, and use of piscicides. Also, it is important to minimize adverse effects of the Asian carps. The effects are not understood very well, but reducing the high abundance of Asian carp will benefit the native species. Next provide information to the public to inform about the management of the Asian carp. To follow
