Study Notes
Aquaculture
- Controlled cultivation of aquatic organisms, including fish, shellfish, and algae, is known as aquaculture.
- This practice supports food production, conservation, and restoration of aquatic ecosystems.
Mariculture
- Aquaculture practiced specifically in seawater habitats and lagoons is referred to as mariculture.
- It often focuses on species such as shrimp, tilapia, and various types of shellfish.
Onshore Aquaculture
- Onshore aquaculture can be conducted in freshwater and saltwater systems, utilizing ponds, tanks, or raceways.
- This practice allows for more controlled environments to optimize growth and minimize the impact on wild populations.
Pisciculture
- Pisciculture is a specialized branch of aquaculture that focuses exclusively on the breeding and rearing of fish.
- It is crucial for providing a sustainable source of fish protein and supporting fishery stock enhancement.
Technological Advances in Aquaculture
- Technology has significantly increased production capacities in coastal marine waters and open oceans.
- Innovations include improved breeding techniques, better feed formulations, and advanced monitoring systems for optimal growth conditions.
