Definition:  Aquaculture is the discipline that studies the culture of finfish, methods of production, environmental and ecological manipulation and assessment, selective breeding, nutrition, diseases, processing, marketing and operating of culture facilities. The importance of aquaculture has increased as natural stocks of fish have declined and human consumption has continued to rise.
