Fish farming, also known as aquaculture, is the practice of raising fish in controlled environments, such as ponds, tanks, or ocean enclosures. This method allows for the production of fish for food, ornamental purposes, or restocking wild populations. Common species raised include salmon, tilapia, and catfish.
Fish farming helps meet the growing demand for seafood while reducing pressure on wild fish populations. It can also provide economic benefits to local communities through job creation and sustainable practices. However, it is essential to manage fish farms responsibly to minimize environmental impacts and ensure fish health.
