Solution

Fish farming is the practice of raising fish population commercially. It involves the production of aquatic animals, which are of high economic value like prawns, fishes, lobsters, crabs, shrimps, mussels, oysters etc. Farming can be done in both fresh water (such as rivers, ponds etc.) and marine ecosystems.

There are two ways of obtaining fishes:

  1. Capture fishing is the process of obtaining fishes from natural resources.
  2. Culture fishery is the practice of farming fishes.
