The term for raising fish commercially is?

• A. Aquaculture
• B. Viticulture
• C. Apiculture
• D. Silviculture

Answer: (A)

Raising fish commercially is aquaculture. It means cultivating aquatic organisms in controlled settings such as ponds, tanks, or offshore cages, with the goal of harvest. This term blends water (aqua) with cultivation (culture), capturing the idea of farming aquatic life rather than catching it in the wild.

The other terms refer to different kinds of cultivation: viticulture is grape growing for wine, apiculture is beekeeping, and silviculture is forest management and tree cultivation.
