	Aquaculture in Hawaii
		Hawaii is an ideal location for aquaculture, the farming of plants and animals in water.
		From the lush green mountains, to the sandy shores of the broad blue ocean, water abounds, providing a myriad of environments to raise a wide variety of seafood.
		Welcome to our Hawaii Aquaculture web page, an information source and guide to getting started in aquaculture in Hawaii, presented by the State Aquaculture Development Program (ADP).

	Organic Aquaculture and Fish Farming (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Aquaculture is a new organic sector and, arguably, the most challenging, with no organic fish farming tradition in this country.
		They recycle and reuse aquaculture waste water by moving it through a series of filters (screens and biological filters that house beneficial nitrifying bacteria), which remove wastes so that the water may be used again.
		There were exceptions: every member of the Aquaculture Group agreed that sedentary organisms such as certain shellfish and aquatic plants could be labelled as organic and 90% of the Group recommended that standards for these organisms be included in either the IBS aquaculture or wild harvest chapters.

	WWF \| Aquaculture
		Aquaculture, most simply defined as the rearing or farming of aquatic species under controlled conditions, is a rapidly growing industry, accounting for over one-third of all direct fisheries consumption.
		Aquaculture concerns a number of the ecoregions, biomes and threats that WWF has determined to be critical to conservation.
		Aquaculture also relates to a number of WWF's thematic priorities: shrimp farming contributes to mangrove deforestation; non-native salmon and tilapia have escaped in volume from farms and become invasive species; and effluents, including toxic chemicals and antibiotics, are released into both marine and freshwater environments.

	EPA - Ag Center: Aquaculture Operations
		Aquaculture is commonly defined as the active cultivation (maintenance or production) of marine and freshwater aquatic organisms (plants and animals) under controlled conditions.
		Aquaculture operations across the U.S. produce more than 100 species of aquatic organisms at different life stages, such as catfish, shrimp, salmon, scallops, oysters, and trout.
		Aquaculture systems must provide a constant supply of sufficiently clean and oxygenated water to support the cultivated organisms, and must carry away deoxygenated water and wastes.

	Massachusetts Aquaculture White Paper - Introduction to Marine Aquaculture
		The cultivation of salmonids in "fish farms," either offshore or in inland ponds, is an example of intensive aquaculture; the fish are hatched from eggs, reared and fed in controlled enclosures until reaching harvest size, and then harvested.
		Aquaculture poses many unique challenges to the farmer not found in traditional agriculture such as those related to siting due to legal and traditional conflicts, and to contamination of wild fisheries due to interactions between these distinct populations.
		Similarly, marine and fresh water aquaculture is not always well-defined since anadramous species such as salmon or catadramous species such as eels depend upon both salt and fresh waters for parts of their life cycles complicating the need for resources which must be employed.

	Aquaculture Systems and Aquaponic Systems for growing plants and fish
		Aquaculture, simply defined, is the farming of various types of fish and other aquatic animals.
		In a typical aquaculture system, a bio-filter utilizes beneficial bacteria to clean the water for the fish.
		When growing fish in an aquaculture system, it is crucial to not only consider the requirements of the fish, but also the bacteria.

	Farming Fish: The Aquaculture Boom World Resources Institute Fact Sheet Undated 31jan01
		Aquaculture -- the farming of fish, shrimp, shellfish, and seaweeds -- has been a source of human protein for nearly 4,000 years, especially in Asia [1].
		Aquaculture products fall into two distinct groups: high-valued species such as shrimp and salmon that are frequently grown for export, and lower-valued species such as carp and tilapia that are consumed primarily locally.
		Progress in aquaculture research can also be expected to help in the transition to low-impact, high-productivity fish farming in the future.

	MariCulture Systems - Aquaculture
		Aquaculture is a broad term defined as "the art of cultivating the products of water or the raising or fattening of fish." It includes the culture of fish, mollusks, crustaceans, algae, seaweed, and even bullfrogs and alligators.
		Aquaculture is rapidly becoming recognized as a major factor in the food supply chain.
		Aquaculture is on of the fastest growing food-producing sector, providing an acceptable supplement to and substitute for wild fish and plants." Mariculture management concurs, that with the current state of fisheries, additional production of seafood will have to come mainly from aquaculture.

	Aquaculture
		Aquaculture, the farming of aquatic animals and plants, has been the worlds fastest growing food production system for the past decade with an average compound growth rate of 9.6% annually since 1984.
		Moreover, aquaculture’s contribution to the total world fisheries supply has increased two fold since 1984, from 11.5% of the total weight to 23.0% in 1995.
		Number one is the need for aquaculture to be seen by the non-aquaculture community, and public at large, as a net contributor to total world fisheries landings and global food supply, rather than as a net consumer of potential food-grade fishery resources.

	NOAA Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management : Aquaculture
		Aquaculture is often conducted in coastal environments and operations can be located on land with a nearby water source or in bays, estuaries, or marine waters.
