Aquafarming
The world's rivers, seas, and oceans are struggling to meet the demand for seafood as overfishing continues to disrupt aquatic ecosystems. Aquatic farming has emerged to counter the dwindling supply of natural resources. Also known as aquafarming, this practice involves cultivating aquatic organisms such as fish, shellfish, crustaceans, and aquatic plants in controlled environments. Aquafarming can be conducted in freshwater, brackish water, and marine settings, with farms established in natural or artificial water bodies. Artificial water bodies, in particular, require substantial monitoring to maintain optimal living conditions for aquatic flora and fauna.
