  2. 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]

  3. Raceway (aquaculture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raceway_(aquaculture)

    A raceway, also known as a flow-through system, is an artificial channel used in aquaculture to culture aquatic organisms. Raceway systems are among the earliest methods used for inland aquaculture. A raceway usually consists of rectangular basins or canals constructed of concrete and equipped with an inlet and outlet.

  4. Urban aquaculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_aquaculture

    Raising fish in cages in a lake in a relatively undeveloped environment. Urban aquaculture employs water-based systems, the most common, which mostly use cages and pens; land-based systems, which make use of ponds, tanks and raceways; recirculating systems are usually high control enclosed systems, [clarification needed] whereas irrigation is used for livestock fish.

  5. Integrated floating cage aquageoponics system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_floating_cage...

    The Integrated Floating Cage Aquageoponics System (IFCAS) was developed as an aquaculture-horticulture based on the concept of integrated farming system approach firstly in Bangladesh in 2013 to produce fish and vegetables in floating condition where waste materials (fish feces and unused feed) from fish culture dissolved in the pond water and settled on the bottom mud are used for vegetables ...

  6. Blue revolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_revolution

    The Blue Revolution refers to the significant growth and intensification of global aquaculture production—domestication and farming of fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants—from the middle of the 20th century to the present, particularly in underdeveloped countries. [1]

  7. Fish farming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_farming

    Fish chosen for extensive aquaculture are very hardy and often do well in high densities. Seaweed, prawns, mussels, carp, tilapia, tuna and salmon are the most prominent forms of extensive aqua cultured seafood. Extensive aquaculture facilities have negative impacts on the environment as well.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Intensive farming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_farming

    Intensive agriculture, also known as intensive farming (as opposed to extensive farming), conventional, or industrial agriculture, is a type of agriculture, both of crop plants and of animals, with higher levels of input and output per unit of agricultural land area.
