Aquaculture refers
to the breeding, rearing, and
harvesting of plants and animals in
all types of water environments,
including tanks, ponds, rivers,
lakes, and the ocean. Similar to agriculture, aquaculture can take
place in the natural environment
or in a man made environment. Most aquaculture operations in
Michigan focus on stocking fish,
aquatic plants or trout, but the
potential to expand beyond – into
growing fish for food – is strong. Aquaculture has its detractors; the
concerns in Michigan are focused
on: Nutrient build-up and pollution in
waters where concentrated fish
populations are raised The escape of non-native species
into local water ways Increase in disease out breaks and The quality of the final product However, supporters say we must
weigh risks against rewards in
order to get a more accurate
picture of what aquaculture can be
in Michigan. For example, how does
raising fish via aquaculture compare with overfishing.
