Aquaculture/Aquiculture

1869, from aqua- + culture (n.).

The care and keeping of fish

the art and science of cultivating marine or freshwater life for food and industry.

growing and harvesting fish and shellfish in land-based ponds. Relative protein yields often exceed those of land cropping by 4-20 times. Ponds attract beneficial wildlife, cool the surrounding areas, reflect sunlight, draw birds, and make convenient places for growing rice and other moisture-loving plants. See also Hydroponics.

highly managed use of water environments to enhance food production e.g. fish farms.

Aquaculture is a controlled method of growing freshwater or saltwater organisms – fish, shellfish, crustaceans, seaweeds and aquatic plants. This is more commonly known as ‘fish farming’ and can be undertaken in open water or on land in closed systems.

Aquaculture is the cultivation of aquatic organisms under controlled conditions. The purpose is to increase fish harvest to satisfy demand. Aquaculture started 4,000 years ago in China. In 1987 and 2000 the global aquaculture product of fish (including shellfish) was 4 million and 14 million, respectively. In 2005, 2% of the fish consumed in the Un [..]
