aquafarmer
Underwater crop tender
An aquafarmer raises fish, shellfish, or aquatic plants commercially—the water-based equivalent of a farmer.
Aquafarmers manage operations ranging from salmon pens in coastal waters to inland tilapia tanks to seaweed cultivation: The aquafarmer harvested this season's oysters.
