Overview

Aquaculture is the controlled cultivation of aquatic organisms, including fish, shellfish, mollusks, crustaceans, and aquatic plants, in freshwater, brackish, or marine environments, primarily for food production but also for other purposes. It has become a major source of protein and other nutrients for people worldwide and an increasingly important complement to wild-capture fisheries. Aquaculture can be practiced in inland and coastal settings using a variety of systems, such as ponds, cages, pens, and tanks, and its productivity depends on the management of factors including water quality, stocking density, feeding, breeding, and disease control. Sustainable aquaculture seeks to balance production with environmental, economic, and social considerations. This page draws on the journal's peer-reviewed, open-access research in aquaculture, including studies on obstacles to fish culture, the effects of dietary protein levels on the growth of African cyprinid fish, the use of alternative feed ingredients such as soaked pigeon pea seeds and lima bean meal for tilapia and catfish, reproductive parameters of Nile tilapia populations, and fertilization effects on zooplankton density and carp growth. Together these works illustrate central concerns of aquaculture research, including fish nutrition, growth performance, reproduction, and feed efficiency, situating the topic within the science of farming aquatic organisms.
