ETYMOLOGY |
The term aquaculture is likely to originate in the 1950s and gradually became popular till it go to its peak of popularity in the early 1990s. Another synonym, aquafarming is seldom used interchangeably with aquaculture, but not yet adopted by venerated authors in the fisheries sector. Halieuculture is another very rare frenchism synonymous to aquaculture that may be used in hyper technical documents. | ||||

NOTES |
NB: Aquaculture is not the same as fish farming. Fish farming is just part of aquaculture.
Branches of aquaculture:Aquaculture has several sub-sectors, some of which are subdivided into several other branches. The 6 Main subsectors of aquaculture include:
Purpose of aquaculture:Aqua farming is done with the following objectives in mind:
Origin of aquacultureThe Sumerians supplemented food supplies by maintaining fish in artificial ponds more than 4,500 years ago. According to records, ancient Egypt and Assyria also kept fish, and the Chinese were breeding carp for food by 1000 b.c. The ancient Romans kept fish for food and entertainment by circulating fresh seawater through aquariums.Aquaculture/aquafarming classification Aquaculture, just like agriculture is a very broad sector with great diversity. As such, a simple classification is shown below according to different culture parameters of the activity: Classification of aquaculture by water salinity:Mariculture or marine aquaculture: cultivation of aquatic species such as fish (cobia, salmon) or shellfish (scallops, oysters, oysters, mussels), macroalgae (seaweeds), among others in sea water. Freshwater aquaculture: It means aquaculture within inland waters. It is the cultivation of aquatic species such as fish or shellfish, macroalgae (seaweeds), among others in sea fresh water. Brackish water or estuarine water aquaculture: aquaculture in estuarine waters. It is practiced in environments where the concentration of salt varies and salinity ranges between fresh water and saline water. Classification of aquaculture by the level of water exchangeStatic aquaculture systems: These are traditionally extensive ponds or tanks, where artificial water exchanges are used during the cultivation period. Open aquaculture systems: The cultivated organisms are confined or protected like in for example a tank, cages, pens, with no artificial circulation of water or within the system, the flow and quality of the water is maintained by natural water currents (stream, river, lakes or ocean). Closed or recirculation aquaculture systems: These aquaculture systems have minimal water exchange during the production cycle with minimal contact with the environment and the original water source. The same water is continuously purified and reinjected into the culture system Classification of aquaculture based on Seed OriginDomesticated Aquaculture: Seeds come from artificial reproduction conducted in hatcheries. Capture-Based Aquaculture: this type of aquaculture relies on the use of wild seed fished from their natural environment. Classification of aquaculture By the level of intensity of activitiesExtensive or traditional aquaculture: Simplest form of culture involving protection of the stock to improve survival rates of wild juveniles, where no fertilizer or supplementary feed is added and the production from the pond depends entirely on the primary production. The primary production in turn depends on sunlight and nutrients available in the water and soil. In the case of fish culture, it is carried out in ponds, where the fish feed on the primary production of the body of water, for this, fertilization is used. Traditional aquaculture systems have low cultivation densities, such as one fish / m2, and their productions are less than 500 kilograms per hectare. Semi-intensive aquaculture: A form of sea culture involving increased production by stocking at a slightly higher density and adding fertilizers (organic or inorganic) to increase primary production within the pond and in turn increase the harvest from the pond. For example, Semi-intensive fish farming is often carried out in constructed ponds which are fertilized (organic or chemical) and balanced food is provided to the animals in a complementary way. The density is between 1 and 5 fish / m2. Sometimes in these systems aeration is used that usually covers 10 to 15% of the pond area. Intensive System: It is carried out in ponds, cages, raceways or tanks, with permanent control of the quality of the water, feeding and production. Aeration is usually used in at least 50% of the pond area. The diet will depend only on artificial diets. The density is between 5 to 20 fish / m2, this will depend on the exchange of water and aeration supplied to the pond. Superintensive or hyperintensive systems: A form of mariculture involving higher stocking rates, increased depth of water (>40cm depth), increased supplementary feed with or without the use of fertilizers. Water depth in the rearing structure is greater than in the former sea farming types because the food for the cultivated organisms is not dependent entirely on primary production within the pond. Superintensive and hyperintensive aquacultures are carried out mainly in tanks, under strict control of all factors, mainly water quality, aeration and feeding. haracterised by high production cost, the culture density used is greater than 20 fish / m2; but, the peak production density reached depends on being able to keep up good water quality conditions for the organisms in culture. Classification of aquaculture by the number of species:Monoculture aquaculture system: Only one species is cultivated. For example, the cultivation of only tilapia or only salmon. Polyculture aquaculture system: Here, two or more species are raised in the same pond or culture system. The most important consideration in polyculture is the likelihood of increasing fish production, through better use of natural foods or area of farming systems. For example, the cultivation of tilapia, shrimp and rice in the same pond. Polyculture seeks to take advantage of all the space and sets a mutualistic relationship among reared species. In this our example, the tilapia live in the water column and the shrimp in the bottom of the pond. The growing rice absorbs the waste from the tilapias and shrimps. Integrated aquaculture: The organic waste from the cultivation of other animals such as ducks or pigs is used, which is used for the production of microalgae, which will be food for the fish. Integrated farming has advanced further and some examples of integrated aquaculture include rice-fish farming, aquaponics, biofloc, integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA) and aquamimetics. One difference between integrated aquaculture and polyculture is that the species involved in integrated aquaculture may not be raised in the same pond or rearing structure, but their rearing water may be linked through canals for nutrient transfer.

NOTES | La mariculture/aquaculture marine/élevage océanique ne doit pas être confondue avec l'aquaculture, qui implique la culture en eau douce ou saumâtre. Développement de la mariculture (élevage marin) : La mariculture a commencé par la capture de juvéniles sauvages et leur alimentation dans un environnement contrôlé. Au fur et à mesure que de nouvelles connaissances ont été acquises, le degré de contrôle sur le processus de production a augmenté et les agriculteurs ont accru leur influence sur la croissance et la reproduction. Types de mariculture par intensité d'activité :Le degré de contrôle du processus de production est souvent classé en fonction de l'intensité de l'exploitation agricole. Quatre principales classifications d'intensité d'activité sont reconnues : la mariculture traditionnelle, extensive, semi-intensive et intensive (Quentin et al., 2010). Mariculture traditionnelle et extensive :Forme de culture la plus simple impliquant la protection du stock pour améliorer les taux de survie des juvéniles sauvages, où aucun engrais ou aliment supplémentaire n'est ajouté et où la production de l'étang dépend entièrement de la production primaire. La production primaire dépend à son tour de la lumière du soleil et des nutriments disponibles dans l’eau et le sol. Puisque les éléments nutritifs ne sont pas introduits dans la culture, la densité de peuplement et les coûts récurrents devront donc être faibles. Dans le cas des mulets, chanos et autres herbivores ou pénéides, il est essentiel que le niveau d'eau soit maintenu entre 35 et 40 cm dans la zone générale de la plate-forme de l'étang afin de favoriser la croissance d'algues au fond de l'étang pour que les organismes puissent se nourrir. Si l’eau est plus profonde, l’intensité lumineuse qui atteint le fond ne suffira pas à favoriser la croissance des algues. Un exemple de méthode de mariculture extensive utilisée dans le monde entier est l'élevage de moules, dans lequel l'agriculteur fournit une corde ou un pieu auquel les juvéniles peuvent s'attacher et procède à un abattage afin que la densité ne devienne pas trop élevée, mais en réalité. laisse les moules grandir sans autre interférence. Mariculture semi-intensive :Une forme de culture marine impliquant une production accrue en stockant à une densité légèrement plus élevée et en ajoutant des engrais (organiques ou inorganiques) pour augmenter la production primaire dans l'étang et, par conséquent, augmenter la récolte de l'étang. Mariculture intensive :Une forme de mariculture impliquant des taux de chargement plus élevés, une profondeur d'eau accrue (> 40 cm de profondeur), une alimentation supplémentaire accrue avec ou sans utilisation d'engrais. La profondeur de l'eau dans la structure d'élevage est plus grande que dans les anciens types d'élevage marin, car la nourriture des organismes cultivés ne dépend pas entièrement de la production primaire au sein de l'étang.

ETYMOLOGY | Marine aquaculture, also known as ocean farming, mariculture, sea farming, marine farming, sea aquaculture, or ocean aquaculture, are used in the sector of fisheries to mean the same concept. These terms all originated around the 20th century. The very first term, mariculture, originated in the 1950s and became more popular in the 1960s, from then, mariculture became the most popular of all synonyms to date. A second synonym, marine aquaculture, emerged after mariculture in the 1960s. Two other snonyms, sea farming and marine farming, emanated later on in the 1970s and are widely used in many parts of the world. The other internationally less significant synonyms (sea aquaculture, ocean aquaculture, ocean farming) originated alongside the four above-mentioned terms. | ||||
DEFINITION |
Cultivation, management, and harvesting of marine organisms (fish, shellfish, molluscs, crustaceans, echinoderms and aquatic plants) in their natural environment (i.e. estuarine, coastal, and offshore waters) or in enclosures such as tanks, pens, ponds, channels, cages or net enclosed areas in the open sea. | ||||
DEFINITION SOURCE | Fishterm | ||||
USAGE EXAMPLE | Decree No. 95/413 /PM of 20 June 1995 to lay down certain conditions for the application of fisheries regulations., Chapter I, article 2, paragraph 6 : " Mariculture: the development of sea water for the production of animal species, such as fish, molluscs and crustaceans. " | ||||
NOTES | Mariculture/sea farming/ocean farming should not be confused with aquiculture, which involves culture in fresh or brackish water. Development of Mariculture (sea farming): Mariculture started by catching wild juveniles and feeding them in a controlled environment. As more knowledge was gained, the degree of control with the production process increased and the farmers increased their influence on growth and reproduction. Types of mariculture by activity intensity:The degree of control of the production process is often categorized by the intensity of the farming operation. Four main activity intensity classifications are recognised: traditional, extensive, semi-intensive, and intensive mariculture (Quentin et al., 2010). Traditional and extensive mariculture:Simplest form of culture involving protection of the stock to improve survival rates of wild juveniles, where no fertilizer or supplementary feed is added and the production from the pond depends entirely on the primary production. The primary production in turn depends on sunlight and nutrients available in the water and soil. Since nutrients are not fed into the culture, the stocking density and recurrent costs will therefore have to be low. In the case of mullets, milkfish and other herbivores or penaeids it is essential that the water level be maintained between 35 and 40cm in the general platform area of the pond to encourage algal growth on the pond bottom for the organisms to feed upon. If the water is deeper, the light intensity that reaches the bottom will not suffice to promote algal growth. An example of an extensive method of mariculture used around the globe is mussel farming, whereby the farmer provides a rope or a stake for the juveniles to attach to and does some culling so that the density does not get too high, but actually leaves the mussels to grow without further interference. Semi-Intensive mariculture:A form of sea culture involving increased production by stocking at a slightly higher density and adding fertilizers (organic or inorganic) to increase primary production within the pond and in turn increase the harvest from the pond. Intensive mariculture:A form of mariculture involving higher stocking rates, increased depth of water (>40cm depth), increased supplementary feed with or without the use of fertilizers. Water depth in the rearing structure is greater than in the former sea farming types because the food for the cultivated organisms is not dependent entirely on primary production within the pond.
