The farming of fish (e.g., catfish, salmon), shrimp etc. in ponds near or around rivers and oceans. This practice is fairly widespread, and in tropical countries has been a significant source of pollution in coastal waters, in addition to contributing to the destruction of mangrove forests.

The farming of aquatic organisms, including fish, mollusks, crustaceans and aquatic plants. Farming implies some form of intervention in the fish-growing process to enhance growth and survival, such as regular stocking, feeding, protection from predators, etc.

The farming of freshwater and marine organisms including fish (such as salmon or tilapia), shrimp, oysters, mussels (and other molluscs), crustaceans, crocodiles, alligators, amphibians, and plants. Land-based systems include fish raised in flooded rice fields; aquatic-based systems generally use floating pens to rear juveniles under captive conditions. Concerns with aquaculture include the escape of invasive species, which may spread disease, and pollution from high concentrations of organisms in "fish farms."

The propagation and rearing of aquatic species in controlled or selected environments on land or in the ocean.

the controlled rearing of fish or shellfish by people or corporations who own the harvestable product, often involving the capture of the eggs or young of a species from wild sources, followed by rearing more intensively than possible in nature.

The cultivation of fish or shellfish, i.e., fish farms. Campbell Scientific dataloggers are compatible with equipment for monitoring water quality (especially dissolved oxygen) and other conditions that could affect the health of fish.

The production of fish, shellfish, invertebrates, and plants in marine, brackish, or freshwater.

Fish farming. In a broad sense, producing any product under water, for example, algae (seaweed), Crustaceae (shrimp).

Fish farming; in particular, the breeding and cultivation of fish populations for food, usually in ponds built for the purpose

The controlled production of aquatic organisms.

raising fish for harvest in controlled conditions.

mass production of aquatic organisms by humans for commercial purposes (i.e., grown to be food).

the production of products using water as the main source of growing medium

rearing aquatic animals or cultivating aquatic plants for food

an activity that is extraordinarily diverse in its approach to rearing and growing aquatic organisms

a signal to our members in the sector that the Association is committed to this developing industry and understands at every level of the organisation the challenges and opportunities ahead for fish farmers

The growing of fish, shellfish, and marine plants to sell.

The underwater cultivation of animals and plants for food or for other purposes.

raising of animals or plants in aquatic environments under controlled conditions.

A form of agriculture where plants and animals are cultures in farms in fresh water bodies. When seawater is used then it is called mariculture. eg: oysters, clams, salmon, edible marine ...

commercial production of fish (differing from harvesting of fish produced without human assistance).

the cultivation of marine organisms in a controlled setting.

The farming of aquatic organisms, including fish, molluscs, crustaceans and aquatic plants. Farming implies some sort of intervention in the rearing process to enhance production, such as regular stocking, feeding, protection from predators. Farming also implies individual or corporate ownership of the stock being cultivated. For statistical purposes, aquatic organisms that are harvested by the individual or corporate body that has owned them throughout their rearing period contribute to aquaculture, while aquatic organisms that are exploitable by the public as a common property resource, with or without appropriate licences, are the harvest of fisheries (the definition currently used by FAO for statistical purposes).

the general term given to the cultivation of any aquatic (fresh and marine) species (plant or animal).

the cultivation of water plants and animals for human use or consumption.

The production of natural resources in fresh water or coastal environments. Fish yabbies and oysters are all stock harvested in aquaculture.

The controlled production of molluscan shellfish in natural and artificial systems. Components of aquaculture may overlap with other activities covered in the Manual such as relaying, transplanting, wet storage, depuration, growing water classification and labeling. (2)

The controlled cultivation and harvest of aquatic plants or animals (e.g., edible marine algae, clams, oysters, and salmon).

the controlled cultivation and harvest of the natural produce of water such as aquatic plants and fish

The farming of aquatic organisms including fish, mollusks, crustaceans and aquatic plants with some sort of intervention in the rearing process to enhance production, such as regular stocking, feeding, protection from predators, etc . Alternative terms: fish culture, fish farming.

Production system for fish, shrimps, molluscs on a commercial scale

Cultivation of aquatic organisms under controlled conditions.

The regulation and cultivation of various types of fish for human consumption. Fish farming utilizes scientific methods to insure maximum production and high quality, while keeping costs competitive with wild product. In the U.S., most of the commercial freshwater trout, shrimp, salmon and catfish we consume are farmed.

The process of raising and harvesting fresh and saltwater plants and animals.

Breeding and rearing fish, shellfish, etc., or growing plants for food in special ponds.

Farming of aquatic organisms including crocodiles, amphibians, finfish, mollusks, crustaceans and plants, where farming refers to the rearing of these organisms to their juvenile and/or adult phase under captive conditions.

Production of aquatic plants or animals in a controlled environment, such as ponds, raceways, tanks, or cages, for all or part of their life cycle.

Commonly termed 'fish farming', but broadly refers to commercial growing of marine (mariculture) or freshwater animals and aquatic plants.
