Abstract

Globally, aquaculture is one of the fast-growing production sectors using water productivity concepts. The term aquaculture refers to the practice of farming/ cultivating aquatic organisms that include finfish, shellfish and microscopic and macroscopic plants both in freshwater and saltwater in controlled conditions under human management. Farming/cultivation implies intervention in the rearing process to enhance production, breeding, nursery rearing, stocking, feeding, protection from predators, etc. It also implies individual or corporate ownership, the planning, development and operation of culture systems, sites, facilities and practices, and production and transport. The social and financial significance of aquaculture is growing consistently at >6% in recent years. India has immense potential for aquaculture development, and the sector contributed ≈70% to its total fish production in 2020.
