3. Farming of fish and other aquatic animals and
plants in either a saltwater or fresh water
environment.
Aquaculture is organized production of a crop in
the aquatic medium. The crop may be that of an
animal or a plants. Naturally the organism cultured
has to be ordained by nature as aquatic.
Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic
organisms, including fish , mollusks ,crustaceans and
aquatic plants.
Aquaculture refers to all forms of active
culturing of aquatic animals and plants ,occurring
in marine ,brackish or fresh waters.
Defined as the establishment of man-made
enclosures to raise aquatic life forms ,such as shellfish
,sea weeds for human consumption purposes.

much needs protein ,contributing to
Improvement of nutritional status of
under nourished population .
oAquaculture is often integrated
with agricultural production ( rice-cum-
fish culture) .
oAquaculture is an important activity
in many countries .

10. Salmon were genetically
engineered for more rapid growth using
the growth hormone gene under the
control of the ocean pout antifreeze
protein gene promoter and 3 untran
slated region
Genes are introduced into
fertilized eggs by DNA microinjection
No need to implant the embryo,
development is external.

12. Breeding and culture of economically
important indigenous fish should be
encouraged .
Fish seed producers ,hatchery oper
ators should trained with appropriate
technology concerning selective breeding
,brood stock management ,nursery
management etc.
To aware the fish breeding centers
about the results of different hormones.
But the general rule is to cut down the
illumination to its minimum in case the
breeding fish is an egg eater.

14. Transgenic fish of various species of
salmon , tilapia ,channel catfish and
others are being investigated world
wide.
Transgenic fish has not been
approved for producing food.
Production of protein rich ,nutritive
palatable and easily digestible human
food benefiting the whole society
through plentiful food supplies at low
cost.
15. Ethics
Aesthetic values
Disease ,and parasites
Algal bloom
As fish are grown very closely
together are very disease-prone,which
not only affect fish output ,but other
marine life as well.
