Aquaculture refers to the culture or husbandry of what?

Aquaculture is the practice of cultivating aquatic organisms in water—whether plants or animals—in marine or freshwater environments. This includes farming fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants like seaweed. It’s different from growing soil crops on land, which is traditional agriculture; it isn’t about air pollutants, which are contaminants; and it isn’t about microbial cultures grown in labs. So the description that best fits is the culture or husbandry of marine or freshwater plants or animals.
