  2. Blue revolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_revolution

    [4] [5] From the mid-1980s to 2000, global aquaculture production increased by more than 50%, and cemented itself as a significant source for global fish supply. [5] Since 2000, aquaculture has been the fastest growing food production sector, growing 5.8% per year, [6] supplying over 100 metric tonnes of fish, shellfish and seaweeds from 425 ...

  3. Integrated mangrove-shrimp aquaculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_mangrove-shrimp...

    Integrated mangrove-shrimp (IMS) aquaculture is a sustainable farming system used as one of the measures for mangrove rehabilitation and can be described as a method of organic aquaculture. [1] [2] Silvoaquaculture or silvofisheries are also terms used to define this farming practice where mangrove trees are planted alongside shrimp ponds ...

  4. Aquaculture of brine shrimp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaculture_of_brine_shrimp

    This has led to the extensive use of brine shrimp in aquaculture. The cysts may be stored for long periods and hatched on demand to provide a convenient form of live feed for larval fish and crustaceans. [1] From cysts, brine shrimp nauplii can readily be used to feed to fish and crustacean larvae just after one-day incubation.

  5. Fish farming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_farming

    In 2018, 1.5 million salmon are in the middle of a year-long trial at Ocean Farm 1 off the coast of Norway. The semi-submersible US$300 million project is the world's first deep-sea aquaculture project, and includes 61-meter (200 ft)-high by 91-meter (300 ft)-diameter pen made from a series of mesh-wire frames and nets.

  6. Recirculating aquaculture system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recirculating_aquaculture...

    Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are used in home aquaria and for fish production where water exchange is limited and the use of biofiltration is required to reduce ammonia toxicity. [1] Other types of filtration and environmental control are often also necessary to maintain clean water and provide a suitable habitat for fish. [ 2 ]

  7. Mariculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariculture

    Mariculture, sometimes called marine farming or marine aquaculture, [1] is a branch of aquaculture involving the cultivation of marine organisms for food and other animal products, in seawater. Subsets of it include ( offshore mariculture ), fish farms built on littoral waters ( inshore mariculture ), or in artificial tanks , ponds or raceways ...

  8. Aquacultural engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquacultural_engineering

    Aquacultural engineering is a multidisciplinary field of engineering and that aims to solve technical problems associated with farming aquatic vertebrates, invertebrates, and algae. [1] Common aquaculture systems requiring optimization and engineering include sea cages, ponds, and recirculating systems. [2]

  9. Aquaponics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaponics

    In terms of outputs, an aquaponics system may continually yield plants such as vegetables grown in hydroponics, and edible aquatic species raised in an aquaculture. Typical build ratios are .5 to 1 square foot of grow space for every 1 U.S. gal (3.8 L) of aquaculture water in the system. 1 U.S. gal (3.8 L) of water can support between .5 lb (0. ...
