Leather Made of Janitor Fish Skin

lash Made of Janitor tilt Skin In ancient times, living organism skin has been employ by our ancestors as their reliable c bandhing for cold-blooded climates. The time is evolving many ideas came out for w here to exact another(prenominal) kickoffs of strap since the role of animal fur and skins is against the animal welfargon law for some countries, in particular if the animal is an endangered species. Many manufacturers are seeking for other substitute(a)s that coffin nail be used as Leather. On the other hand, Janitor search is considered a pest because it brings imbalance to the ecosystem in some parts of the world, especially in the Philippines.Considering Janitor fish as pest, we usher out benefit from a pest by fashioning its skin into leather. Janitor fish or the scientifically known as Hypostomus plecostomus is also commonly called Suckerfish, Sucker mouth Catfish or Pleco. Janitor fishes throw on algae, aquatic weeds, small crustaceans and other aquatic cre atures. Moreover, janitor fishes would easily change in an environment where there is food. These fishes are peaceful in constitution, thus, in an aquarium set-up they give the bounce live with other fishes but are high-pressure with fishes of the same kind.It was called such because of its sucking-like mouth. This specie originated from the Tropical Central America and southeastern America. It usually dwells in fresh running water and salty waters of river mouths. This specie is of no value as food, further it is in imply in the aquarium industry in United States, Singapore, Hong Kong and even in the Philippines. . Here in the Philippines it is widely known as the Janitor tip. It earned its find out when it was first introduced here as an aquarium pet.It is usually seen in the sides of fish tanks sucking the increment algae. In the late 90s, Marikina River was teeming with some(prenominal) fresh water species, some of which are the tilapia, carp, catfish, foul upfish, and golden apple snail. Fishermen survived with just fish in this river because of its abundance of fishes. . besides for quite an a time now, this river is encountering a huge depletion because of the rapid growth of Janitor Fish. This causes much problem amongst the City Officials and the fisherman folks.The janitor fish invasion was believed to have started with the sudden outbreak of this specie from their training pens in Laguna de Bay and have traveled from there to the river. some other root of this was those aquarists, aquarium enthusiasts, who are already tired of taking forethought of their janitor fish just releases them in the open waters, in this case, in Marikina River. eer since, fishermen had problems with their catch since janitor fishes had outnumbered the species native to the river. It was unlike before where the river was rich with fishes like tilapia, martiniko gurame, ayungin and biya. one causality for this is that the janitor fish doesnt only compet e with the food these other species eat but also suck the eggs of these fishes. Another reason is that the spiny and tough body of the janitor fishes bruise other fish species when the deuce capture contact. This kills the fish. These fishes also contribute to the murky river in Marikina because these species are mud dwellers, thus causes commotion in the mud under water. Janitor fishes create holes in the banks as their hatching area for their eggs.Eventually, after these eggs hatch, the seedlings leave the hole. formerly a certain area in the bank has lots of holes accordingly there is a higher tendency for this area to collapse. This is called an outfall. If outfalls would continue, the width of the river qualification increase and the lanes built near the banks would eventually fall down. Janitor Fish is a fast multiplying specie that scum bag last 10-15yrs. currently, it is infesting the water systems in the Philippines. The just about famous of which is the Marikina Rive r. The presence of this specie has slap-uply bothered the community.How are we tone ending to lessen the increase number of janitor fish by making it to a greater extent useful, environment friendly, and prevent to destroy the remarkableness and beauty of some river here in Philippines, especially Marikina River? Theres no scientific indicate that the meat of janitor fish is safe for human consumption. And since theres a big threat of losing the Marikina River, we have to lessen them and make their skin more(prenominal) usable by making some leather undecomposeds. The population of the verbalise fish grows faster than the ordinary fish.And having that basic information at hand, we can reduce their population by victimisation them as an alternative source of leather. Janitor Fish are also making holes at the river side as their home. So, imagine having thousands of holes at the river side. Surely it can cause landslides, right? So my idea would be, since we Filipinos are so creative, lets make the janitor fish skin more useful by using it as a source of leather. We have to be practical especially during these times, so I came up with the idea of putting janitor fishes skin into exotically good use. Here, leather entrust be produced from their very skin.Dont you find that amusing? But the 65-billion dollar question is how on earth get out janitor fishes skin be made into leather? Can it compete with the quality of genuine leather? Can it really help in diminish their rapidly growing number? Your questions will be answered as you read and indulge in the next texts. I will prove that the janitor fishes skin could be used quite impressively. Flip on the next pages and see JANITOR FISHES SKIN identify INTO GOOD USELEATHER. As I have observed, the janitor fishes skin is quite hard and shiny most probably caused by its sliminess.Its skin is rubber-like and could be a very good material in making leather. The caryopsis and composition of its skin is rough , yet slimy like leather. What point of intersections could usually be made of leather? Shoes, bags, belts, clothing, and wallets are just some of the possible yields we can produce through its skin. Resourceful and useful indeed The very cereal and composition of the skin makes it an excellent alternative for leather. Also, this would a very good help in bud bug out cutting, since the janitor fishes skin will definitely be less expensive than that of the genuine leather.Plus, the qualitys almost the same. near importantly, our focus to reduce the growing number of janitor fishes that destructs most of our water resources where we get majority of sea foods. Since the janitor fish is considered as pest here in the Philippines and no one could think of a possible action to get rid of them, were going to get rid of them through making extra good use of their skin In that way, aside from decreasing their number and putting them to use, we could also save a lot of capital instead of purchasing expensive serpent and alligator skins.As I have express earlier, its skin is rubber like yet slimy just like the genuine leather made of snake and alligator skin. MARIKINA, the countrys shoe capital, may soon be using Janitor fish skin as accent for footwear and other products as an alternative to alligator and snake skin.. But why are we going to get rid of Janitor fish, why not stick on the alligator or snake skin when making leather goods? Janitor fish doesnt reproach mess unlike alligator or snake right? hearty the answer to that question is that The fish digs holes in pond dikes and river embankments for its nest, gnaw soil in the riverbanks.Although edible and harmless to humans, Marikina residents do not involve to have it because of its seemingly dirty habitat. Janitor fish is a threat to freshwater biodiversity, Janitor fishes compete for food with the native catfish, carp, mudfish, tarpons, mullets, tilapia and other fish species. Since they (janitor fis hes) are opportunistic and voracious feeders, they may cause their numbers to increase plenteous to disrupt the marsh ecosystem by displacing the native fish species, and causing the reducing of native fish catch, thats terrible right? Imagine having no native fish, just a janitor fish.What is worrisome is that the janitor fish has no infixed enemies, and this means it can rapidly multiply,So, Janitor fish in the Marikina River, the city administration has launched a campaign to get rid of the pest which multiplies very quickly. We can actually make wallets, purses, watch straps, billfold and key chains using skin from the belly of the fish. The janitor fishs skin has spots and patterns like those of alligators and snakes which are prized for their unique patterns and texture. Also, some study show that the oil from janitor fish could also be used as bio-fuel for motor vehicles.Imagine how greatly we could be of great help, not only to the countrys economy but to nature as well. Definitely, the circle of life is a mystery and the authority in decreasing the earths species numbers arent supposed to be in our hands, but lets be practical. It is not specie and time alone that we can save, but lives and people as well. For when this product would be endorsed and put to work, livelihood would boom. A lot of unemployed people could have jobs and spend their time wisely than staying outdoors or at home, doing nothingbeing unproductive.Think wise, for the Lord made a lot of things with a lot of great purposes yet to be revealed and discovered. And when these things would finally be revealed, we will all be amazed in its beauty and greatness, its grandeur and uniqueness. This project of making fine leather from a pests skin (janitor fish) would be of magnanimous help to us all. Lets be wise, conserve, be practical and support nature. I really bank this project would pursue, that in my own little knowledge, I imbibed and partake in bringing about change. To end th is argument therefore, I must verbalise that LEATHER MADE OF JANITOR FISHESSKIN is good and competent, and is a very product for the public. Having said over and over that we have to reduce their rapidly growing population as pests and also cope with our economic crisis, this product will definitely be great Can you imagine leather at a cheaper cost? Leather made from a fishes skin? Leather than can compete with the quality of original and genuine leather? What more could you ask for? Aside from helping fishermen, you, above everything else, helps in saving the environment. go over how a simple product could help a lot in conserving the richness and beauty of the environment?Indeed, great things could come from small things. We should erase the janitor fish as fast as we can. Like what Ive said on the first part, Imagine having no native fish, just a janitor fish. We should fully support those people who are continually discovering and experimenting goods from janitor fish, not o nly from their skin but for whatever we can use from them.
