ABSTRACT

Based on the classification, morphology and anatomy of cork fish can be identified that the cork
fish is an animalia of freshwater which belongs to the species C, striata. How to identify it
through practical observations of cork fish morphology, and anatomy of cork fish. Through these
observations, data are obtained: classification, phylum, sub-phyllum, class, order, sub-order,
family, genus, species, and scientific name.

Keywords: Cork Fish, Cork Fish Classification, Anatomy of Cork Fish, Cork Fish Morphology.

PRELIMINARY
Iktiologi is one of the branches of biology,
that studies fish scientifically with emphasis
on taxonomy and other aspects. Some
branches of science that are closely related
to thisology including Vertebrate
Taxonomy, Morphology and Animal
Anatomy, Physiology, Genetics, and
Evolution. Finding out the classification of
fish in detail requires a lot of things that
need to be studied. Every fish has a
difference and the difference can be seen
through iktiologi activities.There are many
types of fish live in fresh water, for the
example cork fish. Cork fish are predatory
fish that live in fresh water. These fish are
known by many names in various regions:
leaking, aruan, haruan, kocolan, bogo,
bayong, licingan, curse, kabos and others. In
English also called various names such as
common snakehead, snakehead murrel,
chevron snakehead, striped snakehead and
also aruan. The scientific name is Channa
striata (Bloch, 1793).Channa striata has a
snake-like shape, starting from a snake-
which can reach 1 m. Cork fish are
commonly found in lakes, swamps, rivers,
and waterways to rice fields.
Based on the classification, morphology and
anatomy of cork fish can be identified that
the cork fish is an animalia of freshwater
which belongs to the species C striata. How
to identify it through practical observations
of cork fish morphology, and anatomy of
cork fish. Through these observations, data
are obtained: classification, phylum, sub-
phyllum, class, order, sub-order, family,
genus, species, and scientific name.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Materials
The material used this fish as a sample and
tissue as a cleaning tool.
Methods
The tools used in this lab are trays, tweezers,
lups, section sets / dissseting sets.
Research design
The research method is by observing
anatomy, morphology both externally and
internal as well then we depicted on the lab

report worksheet. Next the position of the
body of the fish is examined such as body
shape, mouth shape, fin shape, location of
fins, and so on. Next, the fish is drawn with
a clear line and we have given the scientific
name and local name of the fish. After that,
it is given information about the shape of the
body, the shape of the mouth, the location of
the horns, the position of the pelvic fin
against the pectoral fin, the forms of the tail
fin, and the special features of the fish
ANATOMICAL OBSERVATION
PROCESS
1. Performing surgery on the sample fish
2. Observing and picturing parts of the
urogenital system, namely: kidney, ureter,
urine bag, male genital system, namely the
testis, and female genital system namely the
oviduct ovary which ends in the urogenitalia
porus.
3. The types of fish observed including
Teleostei fish such as carp (Cypinus carpio),
bloating (Rastrelliger kanagurtal), and other
species provided by assistants
ANALYSIS PROCEDURE
Tests and analyzes were carried out on fish
samples provided by the assistant.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
the classification and nomenclature of cork
fish (Channa striata) are as follows:
• Kingdom: Animalia
• Phylum: Chordata
• Sub Phylum: Vertebrates
• Class: Actinoptergy
• Order: Perciformes
• Sub-Order: Teleostei
• Family: Channidae
• Genus: Channa
• Species: Channastriata
MORPHOLOGY AND ANATOMY
OF CORK FISH
These fish usually have general physical
characteristics which have an elongated
body shape, andcompressed. The length of
ikangabusbisam reaches ½ - 1 meter even
more, this fish has an average weight of 2-5
Kg. The head is flattened and slightly
flattened, almost similar of the head of a
snake (Snake Head). The shape of the mouth
widens, in the world of thetology called the
terminal form. Ikanini has Canine-like teeth,
called canine-like because of the sharp teeth.
Scaling in the form of steroids are large and
rough in the head, stomach, back and tail 4 HW 3

The dorsal fin is extended and also the round
fin is rounded at the end. Cork fish has a 6 ED 0,8
Diphycercal tail type. The upper part of the 7 SNL 1,4
body to the tail has a dark surface, blackish
or greenish color, while the color of the 8 IW 2,1
abdomen is creamy or white. The side body
has striata lines, usually this color depending 9 PAL 10,8

Parts of the mouth are large and it have

fish are made of various proteins. This fishy 17 PCL 3,5

CONCLUSION

Due to this practicum, it can be concluded

that fish has several types of body shapes,
there are compressed, depressed,
anguiliform, torpedo, etc. and differences
ranging from the shape of the mouth, fin,
tail, even the inner body in the form of
muscle, skeleton , the digestive system, the
respiratory system, the circulatory system,
and also the urgency system of each fish has
different forms and characteristics for this,
with this practicum, students are able to
know more about aquatic living creatures in
the form of fish. In addition to the
morphology and anatomy of fish in the
morphometric and meristic measurement
practicum of fish, the number of fins and
scales can be measured, calculated, and
observed to be able to distinguish each type
of fish and to classify the fish from habitat,
scientific name, movement, and so on.
