Inland Aquaculture

Inland aquaculture refers to the farming of fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants in freshwater environments such as ponds, lakes, rivers, and controlled facilities, away from the ocean. This practice is designed to produce seafood more sustainably and efficiently, addressing the growing demand for fish while minimizing pressure on wild populations. Inland aquaculture can include various species, such as tilapia, catfish, and shrimp, and often utilizes methods to manage water quality and feed. It's a vital component of global food security, economic development, and can contribute to environmental conservation when done responsibly.
