In India being a developing country, there are different ways people do aquaculture:

Farming fish in freshwater: In India, people use rivers, lakes, and ponds to raise fish like carp (rohu, catla, and mrigal), tilapia, and prawns. They create special ponds and sometimes combine fish farming with agriculture. Example: Fish farmers in West Bengal raise carp fish in ponds alongside rice cultivation.

Farming fish in salty water: India's coastal areas are suitable for farming fish in water that is a bit salty. People cultivate shrimp (tiger shrimp, white shrimp) and other fish like mullet and milkfish. They use ponds or control the environment by mixing seawater. Example: In Tamil Nadu (Rameshwaram) and Andhra, farmers rear tiger shrimp in ponds along the coastline.

Farming marine creatures in the sea: Some places in India farm marine species like seabass, grouper, cobia, and pearl oysters. They do this in the open sea or using special cages, pens, or floating rafts. Example: In Gujarat, fish farmers use floating rafts to raise seabass in the Arabian Sea.

Ornamental Fish Farming: India has a significant presence in the global ornamental fish trade. Many small-scale farmers engage in the rearing of ornamental fish species like guppies, angelfish etc. Ornamental fish farming is typically practiced in places like Kerala and at small tanks or ponds and requires careful maintenance of water quality and breeding conditions.

Even places not around the coast of India have set up their bio-floc farms..

@all Aquaculture, or the farming of aquatic organisms, plays a significant role in addressing food security, economic development, and poverty alleviation in many developing countries. Here are some common aquaculture practices found in developing countries:

It's worth noting that aquaculture practices in developing countries are diverse and vary based on local conditions, available resources, and the targeted species. Government support, technological innovation, capacity building, and knowledge transfer are crucial for the sustainable development of aquaculture in these countries, addressing food security, livelihoods, and environmental concerns.
