    Mariculture

    1) Aquaculture involves farming freshwater and saltwater organisms like fish, crustaceans, and mollusks, while mariculture is a specialized branch of aquaculture that focuses on cultivating marine plants and animals in ocean or coastal environments. 2) Mariculture began in the 19th century and involves growing organisms like grouper, seabass, and shrimp in enclosures within the ocean or in ponds filled with seawater. 3) Both aquaculture and mariculture can negatively impact the environment through disrupting ecosystems, degrading habitats, and depleting natural resources, and mariculture businesses can also generate pollution that imposes costs on other individuals and communities.

    MARICULTURE
    z Aquaculture VS Mariculture
    Both aquaculture and Mariculture are related to cultivating aquatic
    products under controlled conditions which aims to increase the aquatic
    production.

    * While aquaculture is related to freshwater, mariculture is identified with


    seawater.
    * Aquaculture is the branch involving the whole spectrum of fish products.
    But Mariculture pertains to a branch of aquaculture.
    *Aquaculture is farming of salt water and freshwater organisms like finfish,
    crustaceans molluscs and aquatic plants. Mariculture, on the other hand is
    a specialized wing of aquaculture that is undertaken in marine
    environments.
    z
    Mariculture
     “Mariculture” is regarded as aquaculture of aquatic plants and
    animals in the sea
     It involves cultivation of marine organisms in the open ocean or in an
    enclosed section of the ocean or in ponds, tanks filled with seawater.
     It was in the 19th century that mariculture began. Kokichi Mikimoto
    in Japan first developed mariculture in 1896. He was given a patent
    for his discovery.
     Mariculture products include grouper, seabass, snapper, pompano
    abalone and prawn.
     Another important thing to be noted is that mariculture is going to
    stay here for long as the world is going to see freshwater scarcity in
    many areas.
    z Environmental Impact

     Coming to the environmental impact, both


    the aquaculture and Mariculture have
    almost the same adverse effects. Both of
    them disrupt the trophic systems, degrade
    habitat and deplete natural seed stock.
    Potential Negative Economic Impacts
    z

     Mariculture has been criticized by some for what economists


    call ‘externalities’.
    Externalities refer to an effect on an individual or community other
    than the individual or community that created the problem.

    Pollution is often referred to as an externality.


    For example, if effluents discharged from a mariculture
    business create water-quality problems for another farm or
    community downstream, that farm or community will have to
    spend more to clean up that pollution. Yet, those costs are
    ‘external’ to the business that created the problem.
    z
    Primary potential sources of negative
    economic impacts from mariculture:

    (1) discharge of effluents that may contain problematic


    levels of nutrients, antibiotics, or nonnative species;
    (2) spread of diseases;
    (3) use of high levels of fish meal in the diets fed to the
    species cultured;
    (4) clearing mangroves from coastal areas; and
    (5) consequences of predator control measures.
