commercial aquaculture practices

Commercial aquaculture involves the controlled cultivation of aquatic animals and plants, such as fish, shrimp, and shellfish, for commercial sale. Practices include creating specialized environments like ponds, tanks, or ocean cages to promote healthy growth, managing feeding schedules, monitoring water quality, and preventing disease. The goal is to produce seafood efficiently and sustainably, often using technology and scientific principles to optimize yields while minimizing environmental impact. This industry helps meet global seafood demand and offers an alternative to wild-catch fishing.
