Fishery

Fishery farming, also known as aquaculture, is the cultivation of aquatic animals and plants for commercial and recreational purposes. Fishery farming involves the management and cultivation of fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants in controlled environments such as ponds, tanks, and oceanic cages. Here are some of the types of fishery farming:

  1. Finfish farming: This type of fishery farming involves the cultivation of fish such as salmon, trout, tilapia, and catfish for food. Finfish farming requires the management of water quality, feeding, disease control, and harvesting. This type of fishery farming is typically conducted in ponds, tanks, and oceanic cages.

  2. Shellfish farming: This type of fishery farming involves the cultivation of shellfish such as oysters, clams, mussels, and scallops for food. Shellfish farming requires the management of water quality, feeding, disease control, and harvesting. This type of fishery farming is typically conducted in coastal areas using net pens, racks, and other structures.

  3. Algae farming: This type of fishery farming involves the cultivation of algae for food, biofuels, and other industrial applications. Algae farming requires the management of water quality, nutrient levels, and harvesting. This type of fishery farming is typically conducted in ponds and tanks.

  4. Recirculating aquaculture systems: This type of fishery farming involves the use of closed-loop systems to cultivate fish and other aquatic animals in a controlled environment. Recirculating aquaculture systems require the management of water quality, filtration, feeding, disease control, and harvesting. This type of fishery farming is typically conducted in tanks and other closed systems.

  5. Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture: This type of fishery farming involves the cultivation of multiple species of fish and other aquatic organisms in a symbiotic relationship. Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture requires the management of water quality, nutrient levels, and harvesting. This type of fishery farming is typically conducted in ponds and coastal areas.
