February, March and April
48
The periodic rising and falling of the water surface of the oceans, seas, bays, mouths of rivers, etc. as a result of the gravitational attraction of the moon and sun on the earth is known as the tide or astronomical tide.

heights, with two high waters and two low waters usually occurring each tidal day.

Linked ponds
79
Each pond has its own individual water supply and outlet.
parallel ponds
80
About 2 ft (.5 - .75 .) deep. This must be a series of small ponds whose area and number shall be determined by the number of rearing ponds and the frequency of breeding of the species cultured.
Nursery ponds
81
The size and layout of the rearing ponds depends on the fish population
management system to be adopted, as a one stage production process or a two or more stages production process. It has a depth of about .75 – 1.25 m.
Rearing ponds
82
An _____ is the arrangement of all the fish farm facilities and structures in a proposed
site based on the physical features of the area as well as the requirements of farm management.
effective farm layout
83
It serves as the foundation of the structure and its elevation for main gates must be lower than the pond bottom elevation and as low or slightly lower than the lowest tide in the site, hence, the main gate which rests on prepared foundation support will not be exposed even during extreme
low tides.
floor
84
This is the broadened and extended part of the floor and also generally rests on the foundation piles, which are made of seasoned bamboo or wood driven at 0.3 m. intervals into the soft soil with the butt end up. This serves as the protection to scouring and future seepage of water at the
gate’s sides.
85
They are provided at both ends of the gate floor to prevent seepage and
undercutting of water within the gate’s foundation.
cut-off walls
86
It define the water way in addition to their being retaining wall.
Grooves for flashboards and screens are built on these walls.
side walls
87
This is built against the side walls to support or reinforce it. It also helps in reducing
seepage flow along the side walls.
buttress
88
provide the transition from the water way into the main canal in addition to retaining the earth at both sides of the gate
wing walls
89
These are reinforced concrete slabs or thick wooden planks that connect the
side walls.
bridges/catwalks
90
They are used to control the amount of water flowing through the gate.
flashboards
91
are used to prevent the exit of the cultured fish and the entry of predators into the ponds
screens
92
In wooden gates, these are vertical supports where wooden walls are nailed. They are placed
