... a synoptic acoustic system [has been used to] illuminate entire shoals of cod almost instantaneously, during the height of the spawning season. The team [of oceanographers] was able to image multiple cod shoals, the largest spanning 50 kilometers... From the images they produced, the researchers estimate that the average cod shoal consists of about 10 million individual fish.

DEF

A long box-shaped net that extends to the shoreline and is used to catch cod.

CONT

The cod trap is basically a room, with four walls and a floor, constructed of netting. Fish enter the trap through a doorway in the front wall. Extending outward from the centre of the doorway is a long wall of netting which, because of its function of leading fish into the trap, came to be called the leader. The trap is kept upright in the water by floats placed along the top of the walls, and lead weights at the bottom. It is held on location by a system of corner ropes anchored to the sea bottom.

Subject field(s)
  • Marine Biology

  • Aquaculture
CONT

Most of the studies on the digestive system in fish are on altrical fish larvae, such as cod and halibut. Since these larvae do not have a stomach at first-feeding, they have a reduced ability to digest conventional formulated diets, and are therefore given live feed.

Domaine(s)
  • Biologie marine
  • Poissons
  • Aquaculture
CONT

La majorité des poissons marins élevés ont des œufs de petit diamètre [...] qui donnent des larves de faibles dimensions. [...] Pour certaines [espèces], les larves écloses sont tellement peu développées que leur bouche est encore fermée et [leur] tractus digestif n'est pas fonctionnel [...]. De plus, après une brève période de résorption du sac vitellin, les larves sont souvent incapables de manger des proies supérieures à 50 m. En considérant ces différents facteurs et en se rappelant les problèmes liés à la stabilité de l'aliment et à la dissolution des [nutriments], il n'est sans doute pas surprenant que la plupart des écloseries commerciales utilisent des organismes vivants comme aliment [...] pour la première alimentation larvaire jusqu'à ce que la métamorphose soit [complète].

Le Flopac est un procédé combinant floculation chimique-décantation (ou flottation) et filtration immergée sur BIOLITE après aération. Il permet de porter le rendement d'élimination de la DBO de 70 % environ à la sortie de la phase physico-chimique à 85/90 % après filtration sur BIOLITE.
