fish farmers

Aquatic livestock raisers

Fish farmers are people who raise fish commercially in controlled environments—ponds, tanks, or ocean enclosures—rather than catching wild fish.

The practice is aquaculture: Fish farmers in Norway produce most of the world's Atlantic salmon.

The term parallels traditional farming, treating fish as livestock to be bred, fed, and harvested.
