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.
