Idézet:Fish farming is considered an important solution for the increasing population demands that are growing geometrically. Fish is considered a healthy food, and its culture is essential across several regions. The primary reason for the development of fish farming operations worldwide can be attributed to its low cost and limited maintenance requirements. Intensive fish farming can be considered a procedure wherein the aquaculture farm is supported by external food supply and an efficient water supply and purification system. The intensive fish farming system can be broadly classified into the integrated recycling system, fry rearing, and cage culture. Extensive fish farming is powered by a self-sustaining system and an efficient regulating system. This farming can be observed in ponds and irrigation ditches. These two fish farming systems can be combined to achieve better results, and this can be called combined aquaculture. Some of the fish farming systems include floating constructions and cages wherein fish will be cultured using natural methods. Extensive fish farming is mostly based on natural resources, and with proper improvement in techniques, the yields can be enhanced. The intensive fish farming system is expensive and requires significant effort to maintain operations. Several fish species, including tilapia and shrimp, are being cultured in these systems with various levels of benefits to farmers and consumers. The nutritional requirements of the fish farming system are always important and need to be handled by experienced personnel at all times. This defines the success of the fish farming business, and disease management in these farms can be considered a crucial element.

Financial management in intensive and extensive fish farming must be monitored by farmers to forecast yields. Mitigation measures should be planned in advance to minimize losses incurred due to uneven growth or natural calamities. Extensive fish farming depends on multiple factors and is often vulnerable to environmental changes. Fish farming must be sustainable and should not generate or release harmful waste into the environment. The overexploitation of inland regions for the sake of intensive farming should be avoided by local authorities and farmers alike. Climate change is also affecting the fish industry and has drastically lowered yields.

This book provides an introduction to intensive and extensive fish farming and can be used by undergraduates, postgraduates, and research students who wish to work in the fish farming sector.
