Aquaculture

Aquaculture, also known as aquafarming, is the farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic plants.

Aquaculture involves cultivating freshwater and saltwater populations under controlled conditions

Freshwater species reared in the Caribbean

Tilapia

Cascadura

Prawn/Crayfish

Trout

Catfish

Benefits of Aquaculture -

Fish is a cheap source of protein Aquaculture forms the basis for integrated farming

Fish is highly nutritious

Local production reduces dependence on foreign sources of protein (imports) and save scarce foreign exchange

Utilizes available land space

Creates employment opportunities

Offals can be converted to fish meal which is used to feed animals e.g pigs

Easy to set up and maintain. (minimal skill needed)

Use of dung/ faces as food for fish

Integrated farming systems

Farm animals that can be used together with fish in an integrated farming system are- Cattle/buffalo, Pigs, Ducks, and Poultry.

The economic benefits of a fish farm into an integrated/animal farming system:

Increased income

Added income

Use of dung/faeces as food for fish

More efficient use of farm labour

Grazing for ducks, poultry and cattle,

Fish offal converted to fish meal to be fed to animals
