The growing of aquatic organisms in controlled environments for any commercial, recreational, or public purpose In the United States, the most common example is the growing of catfish in ponds down South Around the world, fish are grown in cages offshore, shrimp are raised in coastal pens, and oysters are raised in a variety of settings Although many environmentalists are opposed to aquaculture, primarily because of the poor record of the overseas aquaculture industry, the growing worldwide demand for seafood is putting excessive pressure on wild stocks of fish Aquaculture can help bridge the gap and preserve marine ecosystem balance
sector of fisheries that includes the rearing or raising under controlled conditions of aquatic products such as fish, oysters, mussels, sea weeds and other aquatic resources in sea, lakes and rivers Examples are fishponds, fish pens and fish cages
The farming of fish (e g , catfish, salmon), shrimp etc in ponds near or around rivers and oceans This practice is fairly widespread, and in tropical countries has been a significant source of pollution in coastal waters, in addition to contributing to the destruction of mangrove forests
The controlled production of molluscan shellfish in natural and artificial systems Components of aquaculture may overlap with other activities covered in the Manual such as relaying, transplanting, wet storage, depuration, growing water classification and labeling (2)
the controlled rearing of fish or shellfish by people or corporations who own the harvestable product, often involving the capture of the eggs or young of a species from wild sources, followed by rearing more intensively than possible in nature
or fish farming or mariculture Rearing of fish, shellfish, and some aquatic plants to supplement the natural supply. Fish are reared in controlled conditions worldwide. Though most aquaculture supplies the commercial food market, many governmental agencies engage in it to stock lakes and rivers for sport fishing. It also supplies goldfish and other decorative fish for home aquariums and bait fish for sport and commercial fishing. Carp, trout, catfish, tilapia, scallops, mussels, lobsters, and oysters are well-known species raised through aquaculture
The cultivation of plants using water as the support medium It can also mean rearing marine life under controlled conditions in water, such as fish farming
{i} farming and raising of ocean and freshwater animals (such as fish, seaweed and shellfish) and plants to be used as food for humans; (Botany) hydroponics, process of growing plants in a nutrient rich solution in place of soil
The cultivation of fish or shellfish, i e , fish farms Campbell Scientific dataloggers are compatible with equipment for monitoring water quality (especially dissolved oxygen) and other conditions that could affect the health of fish
The raising of fish or shellfish under some controls Ponds, pens, tanks, or other containers may be used Feed is often used A hatchery is also aquaculture but the fish are released before harvest size is reached
