pisciculture
Raising fish commercially
Pisciculture is the breeding and raising of fish, especially for commercial purposes.
The term is more technical than fish farming, appearing mainly in scientific and policy contexts: advances in pisciculture have made farmed salmon widely available.
Aquaculture is the broader category that includes pisciculture along with the cultivation of shellfish and aquatic plants.
