Water quality management is an important discipline in aquaculture, there is a distinction between
the reproduction and larval rearing phase and the grow-out phase.
what makes aquaculture special?
- Cold blooded (poikilothermic) animals
- Difficulty in using carbohydrates. The principal energy source is fat (lipids)
- Gas exchange through gills or cutaneous (skin) diffusion
- Many different modes of reproduction (f.ex in fishes, hermaphroditism is quite common)
- Many, especially invertebrate animals derive structure from calcareous material (corals,
foraminifers, shellfish).
