Aquaculture
|
|
|
Aquaculture is the practice of cultivating aquatic organisms (plants and animals) in a freshwater or saltwater (marine) environment. The resulting products can be used for food to feed the growing human population, wildstock enhancement (i.e. replacing wild economically or environmentally valuable plants and animals), ornamental fish trade, or research and education.
The aquaculture industry is rapidly expanding and its contribution to global food production is increasing at a significantly higher rate than any other food producing industry.
The practice of growing organisms in the marine environment is called mariculture (marine farming) and it is this technology that holds the most promise in the future of aquaculture because of the vastness of the oceans. The technology necessary for farming the ocean is presently evolving to a level that makes this field practical, exciting and a viable option for qualified students.
