Produce,process,
market
Breeding and
culture
Commercialization
Type of culture technique
Type of organism cultured
Environment
Specific character of that
environment

3. PRIME BRANCH OF AQUACULTURE
FISH CULTURE
Less energy on temperature regulation higher growth
rate and production
High percentage of protein
Edible flesh percent (80.9%) is greater than chicken
(64.7%) and beef (51%)
Prolific breeder
