Question

The production and management of fish is called as
A. Pisciculture
B. Apiculture
C. Sericulture
D. None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Fishes are the gill-bearing aquatic living animal. It is a vertebrate that belongs to the phylum Chordata. Fishes can be produced and managed in both fresh and saltwater. The fishes are cultured in a scientific way.

Complete answer:
Fish is an aquatic vertebrate animal that belongs to the phylum of Chordata. The fishes can be cultured in both the fresh and salt waters of the world. Generally, the fishes are found in freshwater, the body of those fishes covered with scales. The presence of fins is the most common feature of the fishes, which is responsible for their movement underwater.
The artificial reproduction, rearing, and management of fish are done by which way is known as pisciculture. It is also called fish farming. It is the principal form of aquaculture whereas other methods can be considered as the framework of marine culture. In this process, the commercial production of fish in tanks or enclosures is done and pisciculture takes place typically for food. Various fish species like cabbage, tilapia catfish, salmon, etc. are cultured in this way.
Sericulture is the known form of reproduction and nourishment of silkworms which is done typically for the production of silk which is used in the textile manufacturing industry.
The practice of managing bees artificially and the production of honey is known as apiculture. Bees are reared scientifically for honey and beeswax.
Therefore, the correct option is option A.

Additional information:
Most fish species bear the characteristic of being cold-blooded. Therefore, they are not able to control their body temperatures. For that, they depend on the change in temperature of the environment. But there are one species, the opah which is warm-blooded. In fishes, gills are present for the purpose of breathing. With the help of gills, fishes can breathe underwater by absorbing oxygen from the water. The swim bladder is observed in all fishes, this organ helps them to maintain the buoyancy of fishes in the water.

Note: Note:
Fish is an aquatic animal. Fish are vertebrate organisms that belong to the phylum Chordata. Fish are found in aquatic habitat in both marine and freshwater. Fish are produced and nourished in the artificial hatcheries scientifically. This culture of fish is known as pisciculture. This pisciculture is important economically because here the fish is produced for the purpose of food.
