Fish farming is a method in which a specialist, usually a biologist, breeds freshwater or marine fish species in large quantities (in-vitro) in big tanks with the aim of selling these fish for food. In many cases, biologists manipulate these fish to get bigger and healthier fish, which in turn will produce more economical gain.

The main advantage of this method is that it provides an alternative source of seafood as, due to overexploitation, conservationists have detected a significant decline on fish populations in the ocean and in freshwater ecosystems.
