Applied ecology - a new discipline to be developed to support aquaculture

Abstract

Aquaculture or cultivation in water has become a common practice in almost all countries during recent times in the context of the limitations of harvest from the sea, or from freshwater bodies. Planned development by modern approaches in this sector will normally make it possible for organising aquaculture in the same way as agriculture and in many countries large scale cultivation of fish, edible oysters, mussels, Prawns, pearls, algae etc. are streamlined on industrial basis with proper management networks at production, marketing and at consumer levels.
