fish farms

Underwater livestock operations

Fish farms are facilities where fish are raised commercially in controlled environments—ponds, tanks, or ocean enclosures.

The practice, called aquaculture, produces fish for food more efficiently than wild fishing.

Salmon, tilapia, and catfish are commonly farmed species.

Most of the salmon in supermarkets comes from fish farms.
