Thats a quite good project you did. If ever you need information on the latest news of Indonesian aquaculture, you could visit my blog at http://aquaculture-indonesia.blogspot.com
See I too am am working on a marine documentry film for aquabot sponsor project...and I go through your submission; its indeed a pretty useful information. According to my knowledge in fishes, the nose is not connected to the mouth, except in a handful of species. Fishes use their noses only to smell, not to breathe - with the exception of the electric stargazer and its very close relatives, and perhaps certain eels. Smell and taste are rather difficult to tell apart under water; at any rate there is a lot of evidence that fishes can be acutely sensitive to chemical substances. Many of them have taste buds over much of their bodies, and thus are able to detect the presence of food even with their tails. Usually barbels and other sensory organs are especially well equipped with taste buds.
It's my experience that rain does not influence pond. PondPro2000 Pond Liner Repair Kit watchmen pond in overwhelming precipitation too. Its one coat is sufficient to secure pond for next 20 years.
