| Abstract from DBPedia | Mariculture or marine farming is a specialized branch of aquaculture (which includes ) involving the cultivation of marine organisms for food and other animal products, in enclosed sections of the open ocean (offshore mariculture), fish farms built on littoral waters, or in artificial tanks, ponds or raceways which are filled with seawater. An example of the latter is the farming of marine fish, including finfish and shellfish like prawns, or oysters and seaweed in saltwater ponds. Non-food products produced by mariculture include: fish meal, nutrient agar, jewellery (e.g. cultured pearls), and cosmetics.海洋牧場（かいようぼくじょう）は、一般的には将来的に需要の拡大が見込まれる魚介類を沿岸域で増殖して生産性を高めるもの。マリーンランチングともいう（英語ではmariculture、marine farm、marine ranchingがある）。ただし、陸上の農耕地のように単一作物に特化した栽培生態系を作ることは困難とされ、海中では無用もしくは有害生物の混在もあるため、生態系の安定の維持と病害の発生を抑制しつつ一定の魚種をどこまで優先しうるか見極める必要がある。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Mariculture) |
