Solution

The correct option is C Only 1

Pisciculture is the controlled cultivation of fishes (but not all aquatic animals) in water bodies and it is also referred as fish farming.

Farming of flora and fauna in water bodies is called aquaculture. So, statement 1 is incorrect.

Pisciculture is further divided into inland fishery and marine fishery.
Capturing of fishes from freshwater sources (rivers, lakes, canals, reservoirs, ponds, and tanks) is an example of inland fisheries.
So, statement 3 is correct.

Marine fisheries is either rearing or capturing of fishes from the marine environments such as seas and oceans. Hence, rearing of fishes in coastal areas of Tamil Nadu and Kerala is an exapmle of marine fishereis.
Hence, statement 2 is correct.
