Intro to fish farming.

This is the rearing/culturing of finfish/shellfish, aquatic plant or any other aquatic animal in a control environment. It’s a control environment because u constantly manage the system (pond) to be suitable for the stocked fish. This venture involves the knowledge of water management (physico-water parameters, effluent control) aquaculture management, feed formulation and feed management, disease control and management, broodstock management and hatching/fries management, marketing/value addition etc.
