aquaculture producers

Aquaculture producers are those who farm aquatic organisms, such as fish, shellfish, and plants, in controlled environments like ponds, tanks, or ocean spaces. This practice helps meet the growing demand for seafood while reducing pressure on wild fish populations. Aquaculture can be done on a small scale, like family-run operations, or on a large scale with industrial facilities. Producers focus on sustainability, health, and efficient production methods to ensure a steady supply, contribute to food security, and support local economies while minimizing environmental impact.
