Aquaculture (less commonly spelled aquiculture [1]), also known as aquafarming, is the controlled cultivation ("farming") of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, mollusks, algae and other organisms of value such as aquatic plants (e.g. lotus).
Aquaculture is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on aquaculture, published by Elsevier. [1] It was established in 1972. [citation needed] The journal Annual Review of Fish Diseases, separately published from 1991 to 1996, was incorporated into Aquaculture following the cessation of its separate publication. [2]
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]
According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 2.082, ranking it 24th out of 55 journals in the category "Fisheries". [2] Starting as Fisheries Management in 1970, the journal changed names in 1985 to Aquaculture and Fisheries Management and to Aquaculture Research in 1995.

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. ...
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.
Shrimp farming is a form of aquaculture that takes place in marine or freshwater environments, producing shrimp or prawns [Note 1] (crustaceans of the groups Caridea or Dendrobranchiata) for human consumption. However, the industry has raised concerns about environmental damage to mangrove ecosystems, reliance on slave labor, and animal welfare ...
