Fish farming involves breeding, raising, and harvesting fish in confined water environments like ponds, tanks, or enclosed areas in lakes and oceans. This method allows farmers to produce fish more efficiently than catching them from the wild.

The process typically includes:

1. Breeding: Farmers carefully select and breed fish to produce offspring.
2. Feeding: Fish are fed specially formulated diets to promote growth.
3. Monitoring: Water quality, fish health, and growth are regularly checked.
4. Harvesting: When fish reach the desired size, they’re collected for sale.

Common fish species farmed include salmon, tilapia, catfish, and carp. Fish farming helps meet the growing demand for seafood without depleting wild fish populations. It can be done in freshwater or saltwater, depending on the species.
