We delve into how aquaculture contributes to global aquatic food production by farming aquatic animals and plants in freshwater, brackish water, and saltwater.
Aquaculture, like agriculture, aims to enhance food supply through controlled production. This book highlights the nutritional benefits of fish, which provide essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids crucial for human health. We emphasize the importance of aquaculture in supporting the food security of many, particularly in coastal regions and small island developing states.
Participants will gain awareness of various types of aquaculture, appreciate its role in livelihood diversification and business opportunities, and understand the importance of careful planning.
