Classification Of KOI

This article is inspiration from here, I will explain more about KOI fish. Exactly is Classification of Koi. Koi fish is actually a mutation and the offspring of variegated carp (carp). Many years ago, farmers in Niigata Japan needed a source of protein during the long winter. They raise carp in ponds until they reach a certain size. In the end the farmers realized that some of these carp have different colors, so they continue to nurture and upbringing. From there the beginning of koi fish breeding started so until several hundred years later had developed quite rapidly ..

This type of koi fish have evolved into many types and growth. The types are based on the color patterns of koi, and other scales. In the end many types of organized koi koi fish in the classification as identification. In each class there are several sub categories that are also quite a lot of variety. Koi fish are common classification consists of Koi types Gosanke, Shiro, Utsurimono, Asagi, Tancho, Hikarimono, Goromo, Hikarimoyo, Matsuba, and Kawarimono. Let us discuss  each type in the classification of these koi.


1. KOI GOSANKE
Koi Gosanke classification is the most popular and commonly found among the fans of Koi. Included in this category are the Kohaku, Sanke, and Showa. Gosanke family is a combination of Koi with colors Black, Red and white. Kohaku except that no trace of black.
  • Kohaku
Kohaku Koi with a Red and White colors. Red pattern is called Hi. Hi should be thick with a good edge. There are a variety of different color patterns Kohaku. Some are broken, there is a great and good menyapu.Kohaku memilikii patterns that do not fall through the eye and balanced.
  • Sanke
Sanke is a Kohaku koi like pattern (black and white), but they have a black pattern along their backs. Black pattern is called Sumi. Looking for a good Sanke is like having a Hi Kohaku pattern. Black pattern may not appear on the head. Sanke is a Kohaku with a Shiro Bekko crosses.
  • Showa
Showa Koi colors are White, Black and Red. Showa is usually the result of a cross between Kohaku and Shiro Utsuri.
2. KOI BEKKO

 Bekko type is colored Koi with a black pattern.


  • Shiro Bekko
Shiro Bekko is a type of white-skinned Koi with black pattern pieces. Pattern (black) sumi on Shiro Bekko be balanced and have sharp edges (Kiwa). Shiro Shiro Bekko Utsuri and similar, because the same color pattern. And the difference between Bekko Shiro Shiro Shiro Utsuri Utsuri is the color patterns of the larger black black while Shiro Bekko have a bit of a black color.
  • Ki Bekko

    Ki Bekko a yellow Koi with black pattern on it. Just as Shiro Bekko, but the basic color is bright yellow. Pattern (black) on Ki Bekko sumi should be balanced and have the edge (kiwa) sharp. Ki Bekko somewhat rarer than its cousin, Shiro Bekko.



  • Aka Bekko
Aka Bekko is a red koi with black pattern on it. The black color forming an interesting and beautiful spot.

3. UTSURIMONO

The black Koi with a colored pattern.
 
  • Shiro Utsuri
Shiro Utsuri, a black and white koi with a unique color pattern and attractive. Shiro Utsuri the head consists of black and white, should not only consist of one color (black only or white only). Unlike the shiro Bekko, Shiro Utsuri a koi with black warnadasar.
  • Ki Utsuri

    Ki Utsuri similar to Shiro Utsuri, only the Ki Utsuri color is yellow and black. Color patterns and assessment criteria with Shiro Utsuri. 


  • Hi Utsuri
Hi Utsuri is a Koi with red and black colors that make up the unique and interesting patterns.
 

4. ASAGI


  •   Asagi

    Asagi is a type of koi, which have long existed. Koi Asagi are blue with a red belly, Asagi beauty is in the main pattern is the pattern of scales that look like a thin net over the base color indigo. Ideally Asagi has a white head.



  • Shunsui

    Tancho Goromo  koi that has a circular pattern on the head, which form the pattern Goromo / wine.




  • Tancho Kohaku

    Tancho Kohaku merukana white koi with red dots on the head. The more rounded and sharply increased the beauty of this type of koi. 



  • Tancho Goshiki 

    Tancho Tancho Goshiki has a pattern on the head with the body color and the scales are koi types Goshiki.

Types and Classification of Koi Fish

Koi fish has a very diverse types, this is due to the koi fish from a cross of some kind of Carper family. Sometimes it is difficult to memorize the names of Japanese-speaking koi fish. Not to mention the color combinations and coraknya memorize.

To make it easier to recognize different types of koi, the following images of various types of koi in general:

What Is Marine Science ?

No science or in biology sedulique sea that it be in the genus of the different properties of knowledge as the waters of the sea and the rivers and lakes. We consider the discovery of life forms under the waters, the assembly of the study of human knowledge for more information. But above all, the study of this nature is of this type, the elements of the Isthmus, and, indeed, under his rule?

Marine sciences, it is also oceanography. Oceanography is the most branches in the earth sciences. This branch is seen in the study of oceans and standards of life in them is concerned. In addition, marine sciences in the subgroups, namely, marine chemistry, marine biology, marine biogeography, marine geosciences and more divided. A study of marine research often also some aspects of the marine environment, including the appearance of Marcus, chemistry, physics, geography and meteorology. This ability is the correct understanding and was at the mouth of the process better able to see more. This includes a new set of questions about the dynamics of various ecosystems and marine organisms. These include current and waves, plate tectonics and the Mark of the seabed and of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamic. To measure without the knowledge of marine oceanographers to measure the impact of marine life and the door opens to further improve the utilization of marine resources and wealth. This is the essence of the field in the ocean, the risk of it, as on the way down strikes of the safe use of the sea. In addition, information or thing by the oceanographers back in ship-building, as constructed by the creation of infrastructure and building design in the middle of the ocean, harbors, oil and more decks to make observations.

A branch of oceanography, such as in the previous one, including the determination of biological oceanography. Biological oceanography and marine biology deals with the appearance of plants, insects and microbes in the sea and ocean life and your interactions with others. Chemistry of the sea against the company is in the ocean We are passionate mix. This is also in chemical oceanography. Mark is one of the sea, including marine areas, the seabed under the brand, including plate tectonics and paleaoceanography. In the other hand, studied the sea, the physical properties in different characters of the body of the Seas, which will cover the structure of the ocean, temperate, and the salt QUALITY, waves, heat and heat the surface of the currents and internal waves. The largest branches of oceanography. This only proves that the oceanographers in the basic concepts of computer science and mathematics, more living space in the course of oceanography were trained.

This is the key thing from the field, the investigation of the sea. Today, many schools and universities in this course are to train people to become experts in marine science and biology. The study of marine life and the changes in global climate and the sea is also the possibility of the emergence of global warming. Air and sea is known to relate to him, when included in both the evaporation-precipitation cycle. In addition, the ocean current is strongly influenced by the stress of wind and waves, in the uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into account. This shows that the issues covered in the marine sciences, then (Marine Science) in a large area of ​​the analyzed and dissected.

World first discovery "could save coral reefs"

The team of scientists have made great advances in fishing in coral reefs, this was not a decisive role in its collapse.

"Fishermen and scientists have been a long time, the amount of fish, pulled in front of a rockslide in mind, said Dr. Nick Graham, ARC Centre of Excellence (CoE ARC) for Coral Reef Studies, the James Cook University that.

"The consequences of overfishing can be difficult to recover the ecosystem and may be decades, but hundreds of millions of people depend on reefs for food and nutrition, so that the bans in many countries is a reality."

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, show that these questions lead to create the relationship of the U.S. (PNAS), researchers, such as overfishing, a predictable series of events in the collapse of reef ecosystems.

His research has made available a new tool for management of coral reefs and tropical fisheries around the world, the problem is solved for you to help, I think the fish resources on the rock to maintain.

"Our work shows that the biomass of fish - live, the number and weight of fish in the reef - declines due to fishing pressure to return to the approval of a series of thresholds or tipping points from which is difficult, "Dr. Graham says ..

"No, you can restore the coral patches of weeds, sea urchins to eat more, you can see the coral, is a general decline of biodiversity in coral reefs and will be less.

'Tis the destruction of hard coral reefs in the past. Warning signs that even that many people had live coral cover, the last, seem to save the lost reef. "

The study shows that in conservation areas, a different type of reef fish of coral reefs of 1000-1500 kg per hectare.

If the volume is less than £ 1000, was the first warning signs, such as increased growth of algae and sea urchins working as his prisoner.

The researchers found that between 300-600 kg / ha, is the window that appeared to be in the maximum sustainable yield, but if the fish population drops below 300 kg / ha of rocks, if not the real problem.

Dr. Aaron MacNeil Australian Institute of Marine Science, adds: "This is an important source of information for policy makers and managers Riff: If people can get to a certain extent, it is much better chance of maintaining sustainable fisheries and healthy reefs system is.

"But the whole idea of ​​how health is understood, and no divisions," he says. "Administrators of the species with the protection of fish and the reef, and is compatible with the long term you need to get to places like the Great Barrier Reef fish."

"Thanks for the pain and are always a pair of shoes," says Joshua, Cinna, and suffering from ARC Europe. "That's why we also have examined how different reef management systems in the defense of this, the rock or on the window.

The rock fishing regulations are not bad since collapsed. No marine reserves where fishing was banned were the best artists and tended to the important ecosystem processes such as predation of being.

"But people depend on reefs for food, so the fish can not be everywhere." Said Dr. Cinna. "One of the results of our study was that the application is easy to prune during the preparation or the types of species that can help grow the biomass. These rules are often taken by fishermen at the border, and accepted without further top of the support and service on it. "

The researchers say the work in the Red Sea coral reefs has been done, and was confirmed in a larger barrier reef - but like all books on the reef and fish health. Similar conditions are also the situation in other ecosystems.

His article "critical threshold and achievable goals for ecosystem management of fisheries on coral reefs" by Tim R. McClanahan, Nicholas AJ Graham, M. Aaron MacNeil, Nyawira A. Muthiga, Joshua E. Cinna, Henry J. Bruggemann K and Shaun. Wilson was presented this week in the online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published by the United States.

The Academic Unit of Reef Systems in Puerto Morelos


The Academic Unit of Reef Systems in Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, located on the Mesoamerican barrier reef in the Mexican Caribbean, gathers a group of specialists who perform studies on ecosystem structure and function of coral. The topics covered include approaches at different scales, from the physiology of various organisms to the ecosystem level, covering topics on commercially important species and the phenomenon of coral bleaching, which affect the conservation and use of this remarkable resource natural.

Our mission is to study aspects of this system, including the lives of organisms that inhabit it, their relationships, the structure that collectively produce, and coastal and oceanic influence on them.

The scale at which we study these components varies greatly in space and time. Not only studying molecular processes that occur in seconds within the cells of reef organisms, but we cover all avenues to be known as the reefs grow and develop over thousands of years.

Areas of Research

Scientists in our unit study many aspects of coral reefs. Our researchers have expertise in various fields of science and often interact to study important processes and mechanisms affecting the reef and surrounding environment:

  •      coral communities
  •      crustaceans
  •      Photobiology
  •      Reef Geology
  •      microbiology
  •      seagrass
  •      plankton
  •      Toxicology
