Aquaculture, alternatively spelled aquiculture, or aquafarming, is the deliberate cultivation of aquatic life forms, including fish, crustaceans, mollusks, algae, and valuable organisms like aquatic plants. It encompasses the controlled or semi-natural raising of freshwater, brackish water, and saltwater populations. This stands in contrast to commercial fishing, which involves capturing wild fish.
Mariculture, commonly referred to as marine farming, specifically pertains to aquaculture conducted in seawater environments and lagoons, distinct from freshwater-aquaculture. Pisciculture, a subtype of it, focuses on fish farming for the production of fish-related products as food.
