Study Notes
Aquaculture vs. Fisheries
- Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms, while fisheries involve harvesting wild populations.
Fish Culture vs. Aquaculture
- Fish culture focuses specifically on raising fish, while aquaculture includes the farming of all aquatic organisms, including mollusks, crustaceans, and seaweed.
Seafood
- Seafood is any edible marine organism.
Capture Fisheries
- Capture fisheries involve the harvesting of wild fish and other marine organisms from natural environments.
1990s Productivity
- Capture fisheries experienced a mean yearly productivity increase of less than 1% during the 1990s.
Aquaculture in China
- Aquaculture first developed in China around 2,000 years ago.
American Fisheries Society Predecessor
- The American Fish Cultural Association, founded in 1870, is the predecessor of the American Fisheries Society.
Oyster Farming in Ancient Times
- Oyster farming began around 2,000 BC in China.
Dominant Aquaculture Species
- Carps dominate world aquaculture production.
Non-Mollusk
- Crabs are not mollusks.
Distinction of Aquaculture Production
- Aquaculture involves the controlled cultivation of aquatic organisms, while fisheries rely on harvesting wild populations.
Fish Culture vs. Aquaculture Distinction
- Fish culture specifically focuses on raising fish, while aquaculture encompasses the farming of all types of aquatic organisms.
Capture Fisheries Characteristics
- Capture fisheries harvest wild fish and marine organisms from their natural environments.
Shellfish Characteristics
- Shellfish are marine invertebrates with a hard outer shell, including mollusks and crustaceans.
Seafood vs. Fish Culture
