Description Fish production was previously heavily dependent upon capture fishery and in particular the
marine resources. However, the capture fishery cannot be expected to be a perennial protein
donor. Moreover, a substantial portion of the marine catch is being utilized for making industrial
products which are not directly consumed by man. Therefore, a viable alternative by which fish
production could be increased through a popularized bio technique, called aquaculture. Aquaculture
may be defined as the “farming and husbandry of economically important aquatic animals and
plants under controlled conditions”. The aquaculture sector is indeed remarkable for its diversity
in operations, encompassing a very wide range of farming practices, species, environments and
production systems, often with very distinct resource use patterns. The sector is also highly
fragmented, ranging from smallholder ponds or cages providing a few kilos of fish per year to
international companies with annual turnover in excess of USD1 billion. Indeed, despite having
achieved good progress in terms of expansion, intensification and diversification, the aquaculture
sector is confronted with a set of key issues and challenges that needs to be proactively addressed
in order to contribute to green growth. In order to develop a sustainable aquaculture practice the
various aspects to be carefully studied include: 1. Site selection, 2. Species selection, 3. Selection of
culture types based on many factors as species combinations like monoculture, poly culture etc.,
culture systems like static systems like pond culture, tank culture or running water systems like race
ways, cage culture systems or circulatory systems etc. all these requires a thorough knowledge on
the biology of the species to be cultured. The following general factors should be considered when
selecting a species for a successful aquaculture venture:
