What is the difference between fishing and aquaculture?

Fishing refers to the practice of catching wild fish and other aquatic organisms from their natural habitats, such as oceans, rivers, and lakes. In contrast, aquaculture involves the farming of fish, shellfish, and other aquatic organisms in controlled environments, such as ponds, tanks, or ocean enclosures. While fishing relies on natural populations, aquaculture focuses on cultivating species for food and other purposes through breeding and management practices.
