Answer 10

not sure exactly what u r looking for, aquaculture grows things in water; fish, herbs and vegies.

agriculture grows things on/in land

some of the fish grown in aquaculture are for consumption; salmon, tilapia, crawfish or freshwater shrimp(crustaceans), or oysters ...

some of the fish are grown for sell to aquaculturist, such as fingerlings of the two above ...

some of the fish are grown for release into the wild to replace where they no longer can reproduce enough offspring on their own; trout, salmon ...

some of the fish are grown for sell to bait shops and fishermen for bait; minnows, goldfish, shrimp ...

some of the fish are grown for sell to people w/ their own ponds or such; bream, bass, trout, minnows ...

the farms can be freshwater, saltwater or brackish (mix of the two previous)

aquaculture can include multiple crops. in louisiana and mississippi, a first crop may be crawfish and then a crop of rice can be grown in the same water "fields".

sometimes fish are grown next to growing beds of vegetation and the water from the fish is pumped into the vegetation beds for fertilization and irrigation, then drains back into the fish areas.

aquaculture can be in the ocean or ponds dug into the ground that cover anywhere from small plots of 40 or less feet by the same all of the way up to plots that are flooded to cover hundreds of acres. it can happen in above ground tanks that are made of plastic or metal ...

it really goes on and on, look it up on line and follow several links, it is pretty easy and interesting.

good luck
