Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms in marine or freshwater. It implies some form of intervention in the rearing or growing process to enhance production, such as regular stocking, feeding, and protection from predators and disease.

Adopting an ecosystem approach and respecting the interests and values of all resource users and considering those interests and values in decision-making, the conception of a shrimp farm involves an extensive range of engineering fields : marine biology, hydraulics, civil works, earthmoving, and logistics to name a few .

The expertise of a team accustomed to finding solutions together is the key to success.

For the project to run effectively, several factors are to be carefully thought as the closely inter-related parts of a whole and not merely as separate entities .
On the Farm scale : how are the ponds to be stocked [integrated Hatchery or outside supply ?] ; how is the harvest going to be processed and exported [projects' own facilities or external factory, cold storage and feeders?]
On the larger scope, the environmental interactions to the project are to be appraised on the short as well as the long term . Not only the new activities are not to have any negative impact on the ecosystem, but steps should be taken to control potentially adverse conditions from the surrounding area .

Research has revealed the economic and health benefits of growing more seafood :studypublished by Intervet Asia Pacific

A scientific panel revealed today that rising global demand for healthy seafood has exceeded wild capture fisheries' ability to provide all fish meals demanded by consumers: aquaculture is helping to fill the gap between sustainable wild supplies and the public demand for seafood.

"Aquaculture is a ‘relief valve' that takes the pressure off wild capture fisheries and helps promote sustainability of the natural ecosystem."
