The cultivation of valuable flora and fauna such as crustaceans, molluscs, algae, spirulina, and other aquatic plants is known as aquaculture.	Pisciculture is primarily concerned with the production of fish-based commercial items as a food source
They are cultivated and kept in controlled environments for their growth before being harvested with necessary safety precautions.	They are practised in big tanks or ponds.
