The study reported that aquaculture and fisheries industries on a sustainable way create income of growers, generate employment and subsequently reduce global poverty and hunger in the world.  Aquaculture is the breeding, rearing and harvesting of fish, shellfish, plants, algae and other organism in all types of water environments including ponds, river, lakes and the ocean. Aquaculture is divided in to two main types i. fresh water plants and animals ii.  Marine water plants and animal.

Fishery is related with fish and shellfish. It is the animal living in water, however fishery is a place where fish are reared or caught on commercial basis. The study further showed that 85% fish productions are in sea marine and only 5% are in water growers commercially. Similarly the study reported that horticulture is the art or practice of garden cultivation and management.
