aquaculture engineering

Aquaculture engineering is the field that focuses on designing and managing systems for farming aquatic organisms, such as fish, shellfish, and plants. It combines principles from biology, environmental science, and engineering to create efficient and sustainable aquaculture systems. This includes designing tanks, ponds, or cages, ensuring water quality, managing feeding systems, and preventing diseases. Engineers in this field work to optimize production while minimizing environmental impacts, thereby supporting food security and responsible use of aquatic resources. Essentially, aquaculture engineering helps harness the ocean and freshwater resources for sustainable food production.
