semi-intensive aquaculture

Semi-intensive aquaculture is a method of raising aquatic animals, like fish or shrimp, in controlled environments that balance natural resources with human management. It involves using moderate levels of feeding, fertilization, and habitat management to promote healthy growth without relying entirely on natural food sources. This approach offers better control over water quality and disease prevention compared to extensive systems, while being less resource-intensive than fully intensive methods. Semi-intensive aquaculture aims to increase production efficiency sustainably, making it suitable for commercial growers seeking a productive, manageable balance between natural processes and scientific intervention.
