Fisheries and Acquaculture
The management of aquatic life through various farming and harvesting techniques such as fisheries, aquaponics and aquaculture has seen a major boost in popularity recently, with more people recognising the value of maintaining sustainable and healthy water sources. Fisheries refer to the extraction of wild-caught fish, often with large scale operations requiring detailed management to avoid over-fishing and depletion of the stocks.
Aquaponics on the other hand uses a combination of plants and fish together in a symbiotic relationship, allowing water to cycle back into the system rather than become polluted.
Finally, aquaculture takes this approach a step further by breeding and raising fish in specially designed enclosures with complex hydrodynamic designs to manage the environment, ensuring the fish grow to maturity in a safe and clean environment. Overall, managing aquatic life responsibly can provide important benefits for both human society and the environment.
