1What is the main difference between capture fisheries and culture fisheries?
A.Capture harvests wild stocks from natural waters; culture grows aquatic organisms under controlled or managed conditions
B.Capture only happens in aquariums; culture only happens at sea
C.Capture uses only hooks; culture uses only trawls
D.Capture and culture are legal terms for the same activity
Explanation: MSBSHSE Vocational Fisheries Technology introduces modern fishery as fish production through capture and culture. Capture fisheries take fish from natural stocks (rivers, reservoirs, seas); culture (aquaculture) manages growth of aquatic organisms for harvest.
2Which pair correctly matches fishery type with its typical water salinity concept?
A.Freshwater fisheries — only open ocean beyond the continental shelf
B.Brackish-water fisheries — intermediate salinity between fresh and full seawater
C.Marine fisheries — only farm ponds filled with rainwater
D.Brackish-water fisheries — only ice-covered mountain lakes
Explanation: The Std XI General Fisheries units group freshwater, brackish-water, and marine fisheries. Brackish systems (estuaries, backwaters, coastal ponds) have salinity between pure fresh water and full marine water.
3In India, the policy slogan often linked to expanding fish production after the Green Revolution and Operation Flood is called the:
A.White Revolution only for marine oil
B.Grey Revolution for desert fishing
C.Blue Revolution
D.Red Revolution for aquarium glass
Explanation: The official Fisheries Technology introduction notes that after the Green Revolution and Operation Flood, India has been marching toward a ‘Blue Revolution’ — scientific expansion of capture and culture fisheries and related sectors.
4Which statement best describes culture fisheries (aquaculture)?
A.Only photographing wild fish without harvesting them
B.Banning all nets while allowing unlimited wild catch
C.Selling only dried fish in co-operative markets
D.Growing and managing aquatic animals or plants under human control for production
Explanation: Aquaculture / culture fisheries is production of aquatic organisms under managed conditions (ponds, cages, pens, tanks, etc.), a core Std XII Aquaculture paper theme.
5Capture fisheries in reservoirs and rivers are best classified under which broad resource group in inland India?
A.Inland capture fisheries using natural wild stocks
B.Only marine deep-sea longline fleets
C.Only ornamental all-glass aquarium trade
D.Only pearl culture in fully closed tanks
Explanation: Inland fisheries include freshwater and related inland water bodies. Capture from rivers and reservoirs uses wild stocks, contrasting with pond culture of stocked seed.
6Why does the vocational Fisheries Technology syllabus treat capture, culture, processing and marketing as interlinked sectors?
A.Only capture matters; processing never affects income
B.Each sector’s efficiency affects the others along the fish value chain
C.Marketing is illegal for cultured fish
D.Culture and capture never share labour or capital
Explanation: The official introduction states modern fishery comprises production (capture and culture), processing, marketing & management, and ornamental production, each capable of influencing the others — hence integrated training.
7A farmer stocks carp seed in a prepared pond, feeds them, and harvests after grow-out. This is primarily an example of:
A.Pure open-ocean capture only
B.Navigation training without harvest
C.Culture fisheries (aquaculture)
D.Quality control laboratory plating only
Explanation: Stocking, managing and harvesting in a pond is aquaculture / culture fisheries, central to the Std XII Aquaculture paper.
8Which comparison is most accurate for vocational exam answers?
A.Culture never needs water quality; capture always needs greenhouse cladding
B.Capture only uses synthetic hormones; culture only uses longlines
C.Both systems ban ice use after landing
D.Capture depends on wild recruitment; culture depends on seed, feed and farm management
Explanation: Capture yields depend on wild stock dynamics and fishing effort; culture yields depend on seed quality, pond/farm management, feed and water quality — a core conceptual contrast for +2 fisheries.
9Lentic water bodies in general fisheries teaching typically refer to:
A.Standing or still waters such as ponds, lakes and reservoirs
B.Only fast mountain streams with no banks
C.Only the open deep ocean beyond EEZ limits
D.Only artificial ice factories
Explanation: Std XI General Fisheries covers lotic and lentic waters. Lentic waters are standing waters (ponds, lakes, reservoirs); lotic waters are flowing waters (rivers, streams).
10Which activity is least characteristic of culture fisheries?
A.Nursery pond preparation before seed stocking
B.Unregulated open-access trawling on unmanaged wild stocks with no stocking plan
C.Supplementary feeding of grow-out fish
D.Selective breeding of broodstock for seed production
Explanation: Unregulated wild trawling without stocking is capture effort on wild stocks. Nursery preparation, feeding and broodstock selection are culture-management practices.
