Topic 5.16: Aquaculture

Learning Objective: STB-1.F

Describe the benefits and drawbacks of aquaculture.

Essential Knowledge: STB-1.F.1

Aquaculture has expanded because it is highly efficient, requires only small areas of water, and requires little fuel.

Essential Knowledge: STB-1.F.2

Aquaculture can contaminate wastewater, and fish that escape may compete or breed with wild fish. The density of fish in aquaculture can lead to increases in disease incidences, which can be transmitted to wild fish.
