Fish Farming

Fish farming is the unique form of aquaculture and now sea food increasingly being raised in captivity, this practice known as aquaculture. In the United States one-third of the fish farming is raised, including catfish, salmon, shrimp, and tilapia. Most of seafood raised outside the United States, aquaculture is growing in all corners of the world, and it is continuously growing as a demand for seafood rises. The only of word of caution is to find via media for saving animals lives also scientifically so that both eating as well as the other end can meet.

There are many fish farms which are highly resource intensive and have significant ecological impacts on the inland and oceans waterways where they are located. Farmed fishes are carnivorous and depend upon the wild fish. This means instead of taking pressure off the oceans, fish farming may increase the demand for wild fish.
On the other hand, few fishes are raised in farms are omnivorous and can be fed plant based diets. The examples of this species are tilapia and catfish which can be raised without wild fish inputs.

As well as pollution status is concerned we have to take precautions in the industry to ensure pollution free environment as it causes hardship to animal as well as human environment. Therefore this aspect should be carefully looked into arrangement of remedial measures should be put in force and undertaken. Here also, we should ensure proper balance ecologically and environmentally balanced environment so that no harm is caused by pollutants to fishes, fish catchers and people involved in fish cold storage.

Problem for fish farmers due to algae and shellfish growth on the net-pens is resultant in a lot of equipment damage and this needs to be avoided. In case, fish farmers applied toxic chemicals like copper sulphates, and pesticides on the nets. Contamination on the surrounding water passes serious threat to native wide marine life. Diseases are spread out among farmed fish due to excessive concentration in each net-pen and its surroundings. Antibiotics are normally used in normal aquaculture in order to prevent a disease of break but over use, particularly if used for non-therapeutic purposes which may lead to drug resistance in these spheres as they start leaking outside of the net-pen.

Farmed fish stage a great escape from net-pens which would have a significant impact on the surrounding ecosystem of the marine�s sphere. They can compete and stage excess competition for food with the wild fish. Farmed fish can also spread a lot of diseases which were hitherto non-existent in wild fish populations. Additionally, genetically modified farmed fish may stage a cross breed with the wild fish and stage an alteration the natural genetic makeup of the species. For instance, farmed salmon. .A lot of disturbing nesting habitats take place which alter the natural genetically Atlantic salmon that stage a great escape and travel thousands of miles of their farms, streamlining the cross breeding process with the wild salmon and this also involves disturbed nesting habitats.

Thus, we have to take care of the ecological and environmental balance in the industry of fish farming to enable everybody�s health to be kept in fine shape and proper marketing activities also should be geared for income growth and business growth and take care of people�s gainful occupation in this arena.
