    Study Notes

    Aquaculture

    • Aquaculture is the practice of farming aquaculture organisms and is a rapidly growing sector that plays a vital role in meeting the global demand for seafood.
    • It is an essential food production system, and as the global population grows, so does the demand for sustainable and efficient aquaculture practices.

    Challenges in Aquaculture

    • Maintaining water quality is a challenge in aquaculture due to excess nutrients from fish waste.
    • Preventing disease outbreaks is another challenge.
    • Costs and environmental impact are also significant challenges.

    Green Water Technology (GWT)

    • GWT is a sustainable approach in aquaculture that involves maintaining a controlled level of microscopic algae or phytoplankton, suspended in aquaculture ponds.
    • Micro-algae, such as Chlorella or Nannochloropsis, are typically used in GWT.
    • A GWT in an indoor tank system for fish culture was developed at Jessore University of Science and Technology.
