Agriculture
Fish farming or pisciculture This involves the raising of fish commercially in tanks or enclosures usually for food.The most important species in fish farming are catfish,tilapia,salmon and carp.Fish farming can be done extensively or intensively.
Some of the Terms associated with fish farming
-- Pond - this is the artificial body of water where fishes are raised. ---Aquarium-An artificial fish pond kept for aesthetic purposes. --Fry- Young or baby fish ---Fingerling--A young fish that has developed to about the size of a finger
Hatchling--- Method of incubating and hatching fish artificially.
---Aqua-cultural-- It is the act of rearing and catching fish in artificially water bodies.
System of Fishing
i. Small scale fishing ii.Large scale fishing
Small Scale Fishing
Small scale fishing involves the use of simple vehicle like canoe and boats or no vehincles at all with fishing tools.The volume of fish caught is small.It is practice by local farmers.The fishing is carried-out in streams,rivulets,ponds and at sea coasts.Little capital is involved
Large scale Fishing
Large scale fishing involves fishing in seas and oceans.The fishing vehiclesare big ships built to stay on the sea for three or four months at a stretch.Large quantities of fish are caught at a time. It requires large capital.
Fishing methods
The act of catching/harvesting of fish is known as fishing.Fishing methods vary locality to locality. Fishing tools/gears are instrument or tools used for catching fish.
Fishing tools Fishing tools used by the farmers include:
i.Nets. e.g cast net,seine net,lift net,scoop net,e.t.c. ii.traps.

Fishing nets
Net fishing is the commonest method of fishing .Most of the nets are made of nylon attached with small weights which enable them to sink in water.
Gourd
Gourds are used for fishing in shallow waters.Fishing gourds are commonly used in fishing festivals like in the Argungun fishing festival
Hook and Line

Traps
Fishermen use traps to catch fishes in the water.These traps are made of reeds or wire gauze.A bait is normally fixed at one end,this is to lure fishes into the trap.e.gfunnel -entrance trap.
other types of aquatic organisms as;
There are four classes; a.Aquatic mammals e.g whales, hippopotamus,dolphines and popoises b.Shell fishes.e.g,crabs,lobsters,oysters,shrimps and clans.Shell fishes have no backbone but have exo-skeleton. c.Fishes without bacbones e.g star fish ,jelly fish ,etc. d.Reptiles e.g crocodile,turtle

Mangrove forest
This is a swampy forest which is moody with specialised types of trees.It is found on sheltered coastlines and river deltas. The mangrove forest is the breeding ground for fish,shrimps,prawns,crabs,shell fish and snails.Other animals that can be found are monkeys,lizards,sea turtles and bats.
Rain forest
They grow near the equator where the climate is warm.
Derived Forest
This is a vegetation obtained from high forest.The forest develops through cutting and burning of the original high forest and now being maintained as a savanna.Thus, it is characterised by grassland and few trees. Derived forest could be found in warm or hot climates. Animals found in this forest include giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, squirrels, snakes lions, leopards, hyenas and elephants.
Components of Forest
The two major resources or components of a forest are; i.trees ii.animals
Examples of forest trees
i. Iroko ii. Mahogamy iii. Obeche iv.Afara v.Teak vi. Ebony vii. Omo viii. Fruit trees
Examples of forest animals

Music TIME SIGNATURES Time is very important in music and matters a great deal. Time in music refers to the grouping of beats into bars or measures for regular movement of music.
When we want to check time ordinarily, w normally look at our clocks and watches. These are visible objects which show us time. Similarly, to check time in music we look at certain symbols. These symbols are always at the beginning of the staff after the clef sign and the key signature. The symbols are usually figures or ordinary signs. Time signature, therefore refers to the symbol which is used to indicate time in music.
To show time signature in music, two figures are used at the same time, one figure written above the other like fraction, but there are no strokes between the figures since they are not fractions. Examples 3 2. 4
2, 4, 4 etc.
Here, the figure on top (numerator) shows the number of beats in each bar of the music while the figure below (denominator) indicates the type of beat or note used in writing the music. The figure below shows the value of the beats in relation to the whole note(semibreve) eg
2 2 means two minim beats in a bar.
4 4 means that there are four crochet beats in a bar
3 8 means that there are three quavers in a bar
