Is Aquatic Farming For You?

Joe Buttner


Opening Paragraph:
AQUACULTURE is the cultivation of aquatic plants and animals for recreational or commercial purposes. Products include edible fish and shellfish (e.g., clams, oysters, shrimp), ornamental fish, recreational fish, live-bait, and aquatic plants. A variety of inland and coastal systems are used: static water ponds, open water bottom culture, continuous water flow raceways/tanks, and recirculated water tanks. Net pens, cages, and partial water reuse systems are also used. Design, investment, and operational requirements differ for each culture system and species grown.
