What is Aquaculture?
What is aquaculture? Aquaculture is basically cultivating water, mostly seafood such as fish, crustaceans, and shellfish in a controlled environment. This activity is similar to agriculture, but the difference is that marine organisms are developed.
To date, aquaculture is the fastest growing food-producing sector in the world. Moreover, with aquaculture, more sustainable seafood production activities can be carried out without damaging the environment.
Why is Aquaculture Important?
Overfishing in the ocean continues to increase from year to year. This is because the increasing human population means the need for food also increases. Therefore, we need other alternatives to meet our seafood needs.
