Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic plants. It involves cultivating freshwater and saltwater populations under controlled conditions, and can be contrasted with commercial fishing, which is the harvesting of wild fish. This book introduces the biological and ecological basis of the production process in water. It bridges the gap between research data and aquaculture techniques, and covers problems arising in aquaculture production, for example, filtering molluscs.
