Aquaculture
Aquaculture is the practice of growing aquatic organisms - fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and aquatic plants – under controlled conditions. When growing fish is combined with growing plants, it is called aquaponics or Integrated multi-tropic aquaculture.
65 Questions
What is the largest aquaculture farm?
As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, the largest aquaculture farm is the "Sustainability Farm" in China, which specializes in the production of tilapia and other freshwater fish. Spanning thousands of acres, it employs advanced technology and practices to optimize fish farming while maintaining environmental sustainability. The farm's significant output contributes to both local and international markets, reflecting the growing demand for aquaculture products globally.
Is aquaculture a type of irrigation?
No. Aquaculture refers to a type of agriculture where primarily fish are raised for food.
Is pelagic fish suitable for aquaculture?
I believe there are some fish farmers (marketers?) who have Tuna caught live and then keep and feed them in very large enclosures in the ocean prior to selling them in the Japanese live fish market. So it must be possible to keep some Pelagics this way but by their very nature Pelagic fish would not be a natural choice for fish farming.
The problem with Pelagic fish being suitable for aquaculture is what they eat. They require high levels of protein for growth. Also, they have very specific amino acid requirements that are usually only met by fish meal. The amount of fish meal (and its cost) needed to feed them until they are market size makes most pelagic fish not a good choice.
How does aquaculture use math?
There is the allometric equation which is used to find when is the best time to harvest the fish (or whatever else) so that the cost of production per pound is at it's lowest. Furthermore, there is a ton of statistics involved. Lastly they're are many equations when it comes to spreading of disease, population growth, food and resource consumption. Many of thos equations, if not already given to you, involve a solid background in differential equations. I'm not sure how much detail you want, hope it helps.
What are some factors to consider when selecting an aquaculture species?
Tank size, fish's max. size, preferred water temperature, plant needs, aggression, water chemistry standards, your own fish-keeping experience, fish's preferred food (live, flakes, veggies, etc.), other fish in the tank. these are the most important ones, if you have found a fish you like, go to liveaquaria.com for more info (find the type of fish and read its requirements).Hope I helped!
What are the responsibilities of the police after a crime has taken place?
Police officers are responsible for tracking down potential subjects that may be responsible for the crime. Once they locate who may have done the crime, they will testify in court.
Identify the benefits and disadvantages of cohesive groups?
Advantages & Disadvantages of Group Cohesiveness & Productivity
Supervisors form workplace groups as part of departments, such as human resources or marketing, and to complete projects needing the work of more than one employee. Work teams become cohesive as the team members learn about each others' personalities and strengths and weaknesses. Managers and team leaders may take steps to improve group productivity. Productivity measurements for groups include team-building activities and morale boosters.
Group Cohesiveness AdvantagesOver time, members of cohesive groups develop shared values and team loyalty. The familiarity of team members creates smoother, more-effective communication. When working toward a common goal, individual team members bring varied skills and points of view to the project. Group members can fill in for each others' lack of knowledge or shortage of skill. Group Cohesiveness DisadvantagesGroup conformity and group-think are two of the potential hazards of high group cohesiveness. Group conformity happens when teams members adopt similar behaviors, usually in an attempt to fit in or to reduce disagreements between group members. This set of behaviors becomes the group norm. Team members conforming to group norms may cause lowered productivity or lack of creativity and innovation. Group-think happens when individual group members lose the ability to think for themselves and rely on the group to make their decisions. Group Productivity AdvantagesProductivity comes from increases in employee production, measured as units per hour. Productivity may also lead to elevated levels of innovation. Efficiency in technology, labor and management lead to higher productivity rates. Group productivity methods deal with labor efficiency and motivating employees to work harder. Managers may attempt to influence the group by creating high-productivity group norms. Group productivity and cohesiveness may be gained by the team sharing success and status. Group Productivity DisadvantagesWhile there is little disadvantage to productivity, failed attempts to increase productivity may have adverse affects. Managers attempting to duplicate the positive affects of success may manufacture success by setting easier group goals. This leads to teams who underproduce while thinking they're overproducing. On the other hand, attempting to raise productivity by setting the bar too high can lower morale when team members fail to reach the goal.What might happen if genetically modified fish were introduced into an aquaculture facility?
they would be like "Hi, im Bob." lol jk i have no idea. But since they are genetically modified they would probably be stronger and healthier then the other fish. So based on that you can write something.
placing a huge cage in open sea and let the fish grow inside the cage naturally
