them, providing protection from predators and so on. The farmer also needs to
take complete of the fish that is being cultivated and the place where it is
cultivated. The Aquaculture process vary from place to place from Marine
Aquaculture processes like Sea Ranching, lines, racks etc to Freshwater fish
farms.
The proper management and
conservation of natural resources in Aquaculture, can help in meeting human
