Aquaculture habitats include oyster farms, fish farms, and fish hatcheries. They must mimic wild conditions while being protected from predators. For this reason, students also learn about wild fish, marine plants, and habitats.

Graduates in aquaculture may choose to work with public agencies in environmental programs, in private industry with large or small companies, or as self-employed aquatic farmers or consultants.

For information about farm occupations, opportunities, and 4-H activities, contact your local county extension service office.
