Official WAEC Fisheries outline · Section B: Fish Biology & Aquaculture

Content

Fish length/weight measurements, internal/external anatomy, locomotion, digestion, circulation, osmoregulation, life cycles, water parameters, genetic breeding, aquarium construction, pond design/stocking/feeding, fish diseases

Objective

Classify fishery species and take body measurements; relate anatomical structures (gills, swim bladder, heart, gonads) to biological functions; explain locomotion, digestion, blood circulation, gaseous exchange, osmoregulation, and reproduction; measure water quality parameters (pH, DO, turbidity, salinity); apply Mendelian genetics to fish breeding (GIFT tilapia); construct and manage aquaria; execute fish pond site selection, excavation, stocking, water quality maintenance, feed formulation, harvesting, and disease management (gill rot, furunculosis, ich).
