aquacultured
Cultivated in water
Aquacultured describes fish, shellfish, or aquatic plants raised in controlled water environments rather than caught wild.
Aquacultured salmon, oysters, and shrimp now dominate seafood markets.
The term distinguishes farmed from wild-caught: Is this salmon wild or aquacultured?
