Aquaculture operations involve a series of organized processes to cultivate aquatic species like fish, shrimp, and seaweed. They include site selection, water quality management, feeding strategies, and biosecurity to optimize productivity and environmental sustainability. Operations can vary from open systems in natural water bodies to controlled indoor systems. Each method has unique challenges, requiring specific techniques to prevent disease outbreaks and maintain animal welfare. Innovations like recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) allow for intensive production while minimizing ecological impact. Effective operations ensure food security, create job opportunities, and contribute to rural development, making them essential to modern aquaculture.
