data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Any activity that uses natural resources or interacts with the environment will potentially have issues relating to it. Aquaculture is no exception. Here are a few concerns about the practice:<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nutrient Pollution<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Especially with intensive aquaculture farms, there is an issue of irresponsible waste discharge (including uneaten food, body wastes, and dead fish) from the farms. This discharge results in the contamination of nearby water and soil. If chemicals, nutrients, and foods dissolve in warm water, they cause eutrophication when such waters come into contact with surrounding waters. This phenomenon is known as nutrient pollution. The organic residue that settles on the seabed may also cause an alteration of seabed fauna and flora communities.<\/span><\/p><p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Here is an illustration of a basic open-net pen.<\/span><\/em><\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11676\" src=\"https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/aquaculture-system.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/aquaculture-system.png 600w, https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/aquaculture-system-300x240.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p><p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Notice how nutrients are added and how fish waste collects at the bottom.<\/span><\/em><\/p><p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Escapees<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Wild stock may face food and mating competition or predators if farmed species get into the wild, either by intentional release or accidental escape. They can spread diseases and just like the concerns of GMO seeds, they may mix up with wild species and soon we will not be able to differentiate between wild stock and farmed species. They may also interbreed with wild stock and endanger some native species, threatening the entire ecosystem.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Habitat Destruction<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">One good example of habitat destruction is the creation of ponds for culturing marine shrimps. Thousands of hectares of mangroves and coastlands, which serve as nursery grounds for many aquatic organisms have been destroyed in places such as Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Mangroves also support many marine and terrestrial species and also protect coastlines from storms.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Chemicals Used to Control Diseases<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To control bacteria, fungal, viral, and other pathogenic matter, drugs and chemicals may be used on fish farms (ponds and cages). There is always a chance that these dissolved chemicals may come into contact with other aquatic organisms nearby. Too much use of such drugs can also affect humans who eat the fish.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-f030773\" data-id=\"f030773\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-55b29fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"55b29fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Tall-Responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4993435605385515\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"6804764118\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-a1a4400 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a1a4400\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-2168b3a\" data-id=\"2168b3a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe19faf elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"fe19faf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/benefits-of-aquaculture\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">GO BACK<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a3eb72f\" data-id=\"a3eb72f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-323c60d elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"323c60d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"https:\/\/eschooltoday.com\/learn\/aquaculture-facts\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">NEXT PAGE<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aquaculture What is Aquaculture?
