Fish Farming

Aquaculture

Process of rearing, breeding and harvesting of aquatic species in controlled aquatic enviroment like the river. Demand is increasing for fish and fish protein, which has resulted in widespread overfishing in wild fisheries.

As of 2016, more than 50% of seafood was produced by aquaculture. In the last three decades, aquaculture has been the main driver of the increase in fisheries and aquaculture production, with an average growth of 5.3 percent per year in the period 2000–2018, reaching a record 82.1 million tonnes in 2018.

Progression of Aquaculture

This house does not have a room but only has a large space (mother house). The highest level is the mother house whose lower part can be passed and various daily activities are done. The target is only as high as the waist level of an adult.

Fishermen cannot go to sea during the monsoon season causing the fish supply to be cut off

Alternative ways are being studied to maintain the supply of fish to the market

Aquaculture begins with a small number of fish and ponds before expanding into a larger variety of fish and ponds

As it grew, fishermen began to diversify aquaculture-based products to the market

This chain creates many job opportunities for locals

As a result, the supply of fish to the market can be maintained even during the monsoon season
