Aquaculture's main goal is to provide a sustainable source of food for the growing human population.

Mariculture is the branch of aquaculture that focuses on the cultivation of marine organisms in coastal or open ocean environments.

Carp is the most widely farmed fish species globally, particularly in Asian countries, due to its adaptability, hardiness, and ability to thrive in various water conditions.

Aquaponics is a sustainable farming system that combines aquaculture (fish farming) with hydroponics (plant cultivation in water) to create a symbiotic relationship between the two.

Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) are designed to reuse water efficiently by continuously treating and recirculating it within the fish tanks, reducing water consumption and waste discharge.

The overuse of antibiotics in aquaculture can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, reduced water quality due to antibiotic residues, and potential harm to non-target organisms in the aquatic environment.

Cage Culture is a common aquaculture technique where fish or other aquatic organisms are raised in floating cages or pens suspended in open water bodies, such as lakes, rivers, or coastal areas.

Pond Aquaculture involves the cultivation of aquatic organisms in constructed or natural ponds, where water quality and environmental conditions are managed to optimize growth and production.

Open Ocean Aquaculture is a relatively new aquaculture method that involves the cultivation of aquatic organisms in offshore areas, often using large floating structures or platforms to support the farming operations.

Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) are designed to provide a controlled environment for aquatic organisms, often indoors, where water quality, temperature, and other parameters are closely monitored and managed.

Aquaponics combines aquaculture and hydroponics, where the waste from fish farming provides nutrients for plant growth, and the plants help filter and clean the water for the fish.

Wetland Aquaculture involves the cultivation of aquatic organisms in natural or man-made wetlands, utilizing the unique ecological characteristics of these ecosystems for sustainable production.

Vertical Aquaculture is a space-efficient aquaculture method that involves stacking tanks or columns vertically, allowing for increased production capacity in a limited footprint.

Coastal Aquaculture involves the cultivation of aquatic organisms in coastal areas, utilizing the natural productivity and protection of these environments.
