Question

Distinguish between

Culture fishery and capture fishery.

Answer 1

Culture fishery:

1. A culture fishery is a sort of inland fishery that takes place in tiny bodies of water and involves the rearing and harvesting of desired species.

Capture fishery:

1. Capture fisheries involve the capture of fish from natural resources such as rivers and seas.

Differences between culture fishery and capture fishery are given below:

Culture fishery	Capture fishery
1. In a culture fishery, fishes are grown, reared, and then captured in small, self-made water bodies or fish tanks.	1. Capture fishing entails catching fish directly from natural sources of water, such as lakes, seas, rivers, and ponds.
2. To gain optimal yield, individuals operating the fish tanks must take care of the developing fishes.	2. This method relies on the natural development of fish, which eliminates the need for fish care.
3. It is basically a method of rearing, since only the fish that are required are grown. So, in culture fishery, only fully matured fishes are caught.	3. This method basically involves the collection of fishes, thus, both mature and immature fishes get trapped.
4. By selective breeding, fish yield can be raised to meet demand.	4. As a result of random catch, fish yield progressively declines.
