AP®︎ Environmental Science: Topic 5.16 Flashcards

Cultivation of aquatic organisms under managed conditions, including control of stocking, feeding, breeding, water conditions, or harvesting

Raising stocked fish or shrimp in managed ponds, which may discharge nutrient-rich water or replace coastal wetlands and mangroves

Raising dense fish populations in long, narrow channels with continuously flowing water that supplies oxygen and carries away waste

Raising fish in mesh enclosures in natural waters, allowing water, waste, pathogens, and parasites to pass through while creating escape risks

A contained tank system that filters, treats, oxygenates, and reuses water, reducing waste discharge, disease exchange, and escapes but requiring substantial energy and investment

Entry of farmed genes into a wild population through interbreeding, potentially reducing local adaptation, genetic distinctiveness, or fitness

Farming multiple trophic groups so that wastes from one crop become resources for another, such as seaweed absorbing finfish nutrients
