| | Massachusetts Aquaculture White Paper - Introduction to Marine Aquaculture |
 | | Like agriculture, aquaculture is an attempt to propagate crops in a semi-controlled setting. | | | Aquaculture poses many unique challenges to the farmer not found in traditional agriculture such as those related to siting due to legal and traditional conflicts, and to contamination of wild fisheries due to interactions between these distinct populations. | | | The cultivation of salmonids in "fish farms," either offshore or in inland ponds, is an example of intensive aquaculture; the fish are hatched from eggs, reared and fed in controlled enclosures until reaching harvest size, and then harvested. |

| | Aquaculture Issues |
| | Aquaculture, like many other farming activities is dependent upon the use of natural resources such as water, land, seed and feed. | | | Aquaculture can be simply defined as the rearing or farming of aquatic species under controlled conditions. | | | To make their product more marketable, aquaculture farm managers choose what colour they want their salmon by adding chemicals to the fish feed. |

| | Organic Aquaculture and Fish Farming |
| | There are indeed organic aquaculture standards being used elsewhere but for the most part these are used for freshwater species, filter feeding or omnivorous fish, shrimp and other species feeding low on the food chain. | | | A major drawback with farming in water is lack of control, such as the spread and management of disease or contamination from pollution. | | | Arguments about aquaculture being needed to feed a growing world population were no more credible than those used for conventional agriculture. |

| | aquaculture on Encyclopedia.com |
| | Successful aquaculture takes into consideration the biology of the aquatic species (feeding, water flow and temperature needs, disease prevention) and engineering design (water source and water quality study, pond and tank containment systems, water filtration and aeration) as well as issues pertinent to any business. | | | The most economically important form of aquaculture is fish farming, an industry that accounts for nearly 20% of world fisheries production, and is steadily increasing its share. | | | In addition, the large amounts of water that are used in aquaculture become laden with fish feces and unconsumed food that, if not removed through treatment, can add injurious amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus to a river or stream when the water is returned to it. |

| | Aquaculture, simply defined, is the farming of various types of fish. | | | With increasing populations and the decline of the world's fisheries, fish farming has nowhere to go but "up" to supply an ever-growing demand. | | | Fish show great promise as a "crop" that will respond well to the benefits of being raised in a controlled environment. |

| | In fact, throughout the US and the world, aquaculture has been the fastest growing agriculture industry. | | | Worldwide, it is estimated that in order to close the increasing gap between demand and supplies of fisheries products, aquaculture will need to augment production three- to four-fold during the next two and a half decades. | | | It is very clear that the only way to satisfy the world’s growing need for fisheries products, and to reverse the US fisheries trade deficit, is through aquaculture, the farming of aquatic organisms in controlled environments. |
