Results for tag: "Fish Farming"

Fish farming, also known as aquaculture, is the practice of raising fish in a controlled environment. This includes both freshwater and saltwater species, and can be done in both natural and man-made environments. Fish farming is a major component of the aquaculture industry, which also includes the production of other aquatic organisms such as crustaceans, mollusks, and aquatic plants. Fish farming is a sustainable and efficient way to produce food, as it requires fewer resources than traditional fishing methods. It also helps to reduce pressure on wild fish stocks, as farmed fish are not taken from the wild. Additionally, fish farming can help to improve water quality, as the waste produced by farmed fish is often recycled and used as fertilizer. Fish farming is a growing industry, with many companies specializing in the production of farmed fish. Examples of these companies include AquaBounty Technologies, Cermaq, and Marine Harvest. Additionally, many large food companies, such as Tyson Foods and Cargill, have invested in fish farming operations. Show Less Read more
