Growth and Development of Aquaculture

Aquaculture has been used in China since circa 2500 BC. The practice of aquaculture gained prevalence in Europe during th eMiddle Ages since fish were scarce and thus expensive.Americans were rarely involved in aquaculture until the late 20th century but California residents harvested wild kelp and made legal efforts to manage the supply starting circa 1900, later even producing it as a wartime resource.In contrast to agriculture, the rise of aquaculture is a contemporary phenomenon.
