Extensive Fish
Farming
Extensive fi sh farming
involves low-density
stocking of fi sh in natural
or semi-natural
environments, relying on
natural food sources and
minimal human
intervention. This method
mimics natural ecosystems
and emphasizes
sustainability.

Biofuel production:

Microalgae can be remarkably rich in oils.

To meet the demands of fossil fuels, alternative means of fuels are being
investigated. Biodiesel and bioethanol are renewable biofuels with much
potential that are important in current research,
Pharmaceuticals and cosmetics:

They are anticoagulants, antioxidants, anticancer agents that are being


tested in medical research.

Red microalgae are characterized by pigments that contain natural


colorants used in pharmaceuticals and/or cosmetics.

Biofertilizer

This method has been used for rice production in India and Iran, using
the nitrogen fixing property to supplement nitrogen content in soils
B) Seaweed
farming
Practice of cultivating and harvesting seaweed.

The largest seaweed-producing countries as of 2022 are China


(58.62%) and Indonesia (28.6%); followed by South Korea (5.09%) and
the Philippines (4.19%). Other notable producers include NorthKorea
(1.6%), Japan (1.15%), Malaysia (0.53%), Zanzibar (Tanzania, 0.5%),
and Chile (0.3%)

Edible seaweed, or sea vegetables, are
seaweeds that can be eaten and used for
culinary purposes. They typically contain
high amounts of fiber.

They may belong to one of several groups


of multicellular algae: the red algae,
green algae, and brown algae

Aquaponics is a system that
integrates aquaculture (raising fi sh)

without soil).

In aquaponics, fi sh waste provides
