Aquaculture is a general term that refers to the culturing of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other organisms in freshwater, brackish water, or seawater under controlled conditions.
It is different from mariculture as it is a type of aquaculture that involves commercial fishing of wild fishes in seawater habitats and lagoons.
