Captive breeding in aquaculture refers to breeding aquatic species in controlled environments to ensure a steady supply for production or conservation. This practice helps maintain genetic diversity, improve disease resistance, and reduce the pressure on wild populations. Captive breeding also enables aquaculturists to select for desirable traits, such as faster growth and better feed conversion, thus enhancing production efficiency. Moreover, captive breeding plays a vital role in conservation efforts by supporting the restoration of endangered species. By improving breeding programs and farm management, captive breeding can ensure sustainable aquaculture practices and biodiversity conservation.
