Document Summary
More scope to how we can do aquaculture. Different organisms and different set up of how aquatic animals are accessed. There are cages which people use in aquaculture to capture toad fish cages: people are looking at accessing small villages for aquaculture to better situations for poor people like in baja, california. Intensive shrimp farming in baja, california: raising tilapia pond where tilapia fish are raised. Tilapia is a very successful food fish. Tilapia ponds are very small but are raising enough food to feed a village. Aquaculture includes: fish, molluscs, crustaceans, aquatic plants (567 species worldwide) A huge great range of organism: marine (mariculture) or inland (usually freshwater) Inland aquaculture is growing faster than marine (mostly in developing world) Dramatic increase in capture production where is actually leveled off we are fishing out the oceans, not much fish left. Aquaculture is increasing dramatically taking bigger chunk of fisheries production.
