    Fish production is a major source of protein and occurs through capture fishing or culture fishing. Culture fishing, also called fish farming or aquaculture, involves rearing and culturing fish and can take place in marine or inland waters. Composite fish culture involves rearing five to six fish varieties together in a single pond by selecting species that do not compete for the same foods. Bee keeping or apiculture is the practice of managing honeybee colonies to produce honey and wax on a large scale, with pasturage affecting honey quality and quantity by providing different floral sources of nectar and pollen.

    Fish Production

     Fish production is a great source of protein


    to our diet.
     Fish production is of two types:
     (i) Finned Fish Production I True Fish
    Production: It includes production and
    management of cartilaginous and bony
    fishes such as pomphret, tuna cod, catla,
    prawns, rohu, etc.
     (ii) Unfinned Fish Production: It includes
    production of shellfish such as prawns,
    mollusks.
     Depending on the mode of obtaining fishes, fishing  is of
    two types:

     (i) Capture Fishing: Here, naturally living fish is caught


    from water, both marine and inland.

     (ii) Culture Fishing: it is cultivating, rearing and


    harvesting of fish. Culture fishery is also called FISH
    FARMING OR PISCICULTURE AND AQUACULTURE.

     Marine Fishing
    The practice of rearing & culturing marine fish, i.e., fish
    found in seas and oceans is called marine fishing or
    mariculture.
    Tuna, cod, sardines, Bombay duck, pomphret,etc are
    common marine fish.

     Inland Fishing
    It includes fish production in fresh water (for example
    ponds, rivers, lakes, reservoirs) and brackish water (for
    example estuaries). Inland fishing is also named as
    AQUACULTURE.
    Composite Fish Culture

     In this type of fish culture, five to six


    varieties of fish are reared in a single
    fishpond.
     They are selected so that they do not
    commpete for food. They should have
    different
     food requirements.
     For example:
     Catla: feeds in the upper part of water
     Rohu feeds in middle part of water
     Mrigals, Common carps: feeds at bottom
    Advantages of composite culture

     Different fishes feed on different foods,


    so they do not compete for food.
     Six different types of fishes can be reared
    together in one pond.
     Very high yield is obtained.
    Bee Keeping (Apiculture)

     It is the practice of keeping, caring and


    management of honeybees on a large scale
    for obtaining honey and wax. It is also
    called apiculture.
    Apiaries /Bee farms
    They are the places where the bees are
    raised for commercial honey production.
     Indigenous Bee species: Apis cerana indica
    (Indian bee), Apis dorsata (Rock bee), Apis
    florae (Little bee)
    Pasturage
     It is the availability of flowers to the bees
    for nectar and pollen collection.
     It affects the quality and quantity of honey
    because different flora produce nectar
    and pollen of different types.
