In India, culture fishing, also known as aquaculture, involves the controlled breeding and harvesting of fish in ponds or tanks. This method is widely used for species like rohu and catla, providing a steady supply to local markets.
Capture fishing, on the other hand, refers to catching wild fish from natural water bodies such as rivers and oceans. In India, this includes traditional practices in coastal areas, targeting species like pomfret and hilsa.
The main differences include sustainability and yield; culture fishing allows for consistent production, while capture fishing depends on natural stocks and can lead to overfishing issues. |
