fish farmer

Grows aquatic livestock

A fish farmer raises fish commercially in controlled environments—ponds, tanks, or ocean enclosures—rather than catching wild fish.

The practice is aquaculture: The fish farmer harvested his tilapia crop.

Fish farmers produce species like salmon, catfish, and trout for food markets.
