Oh, and look at this really cool way of raising fish and other seafood called farming aquaculture. It’s like having a farm in the water where fish and other sea creatures grow strong and big.
In agricultural aquaculture, fish, shrimp and other underwater creatures are raised in a specific location — a pond, a tank, a cage — in a body of water. That helps ensure they have enough food to eat and space to swim around. These creatures are raised and looked after by aquaculture farmers in the same way that farmers look after cows, pigs and chickens on land.
There are a lot of positive things about farming aquaculture. First, it allows us to secure the seafood we all need to eat. People adore eating fish, shrimp, crabs and other types of seafood, and farming aquaculture helps ensure there’s enough to go around for everyone. The other good news is that aquaculture farming can be gentle on the environment. We can also help our oceans be healthier for all the sea life that lives in them by raising seafood responsibly.
Aquaculture is upending the seafood business by providing us a more sustainable way to produce seafood. Instead of just taking fish from the ocean, which can harm ocean life, farm-raising fish allows us to produce seafood in a safe and responsible way. This helps to prevent overfishing, ensuring that we have plenty of seafood for years to come.
With Aquaculture Farming, Rule Number One Is Do It Responsibly That means practicing responsibly in ways that help to keep the oceans and the creatures that live in the seas healthy. Some fish farms employ special practices to keep their water clean and free of pollution. Still others aim to save water and energy to benefit the Earth. With responsible aquaculture we can help keep our oceans healthy for generations to come.
With a growing number of people around the world who relish seafood, demand for fish, shrimp and other sea foods continues to rise. And aquaculture farming helps us do just that in a smart and sustainable way. We can also ensure that there is enough seafood for everyone by farming fish and other sea creatures in controlled environments. This supports wild fish populations that are allowed to flourish in their natural habitat.
