Aquaculture is the cultivation of the natural produce of water (such as fish or shellfish, algae and other aquatic organisms). Mariculture is specifically marine aquaculture, and thus is a subset of aquaculture. Some examples of aquaculture include raising catfish and tilapia in freshwater ponds, growing cultured pearls, and farming salmon in net-pens set out in a bay. Fish farming is a common type.
History
The practice of aquaculture is very ancient and found in many cultures.
Aquaculture was used in China circa 2500 BC. When the waters lowered after river floods, some fishes, namely carps, were held in artificial lakes. Their brood were later fed using nymphs and feces from silkworms used for silk production.
