Aquaculture which is sometimes spelt as ‘Aquiculture’ is the farming of fish. Fish farming is also known as ‘Aquafarming’. Fish, crustaceans and molluscs can all be farmed. Aquaculture controls the conditions of freshwater or saltwater to farm species of fish and seafood. Fish are farmed in enclosures in the sea, in ponds or in tanks. Common types of fish and seafood that are commercially farmed include Salmon, Trout, Prawns and Seabass.
