aquacultural
Raising aquatic organisms
Aquacultural relates to aquaculture—the farming of fish, shellfish, seaweed, and other aquatic organisms.
The term covers both freshwater and marine operations: aquacultural practices, aquacultural research, the aquacultural industry.
It parallels agricultural but for water-based cultivation rather than land.
