Samuel and Charlotte are running a small aquaculture farm. They are considering using antibiotics in their farm. Why might they do this?

• To prevent disease outbreak in their fish

• To decrease waste concentration in the water

• To increase the risk of contamination

• To reduce the need for land space

Ava, Mia, and Lily are studying the effects of using antibiotics in their fish farm. What could be a potential consequence of this practice?

• Endocrine disruption in the fish

• Decreased risk of contamination in the fish farm

• Increased availability of nutrients in the fish farm

• Decreased risk of disease outbreak in the fish farm

Benjamin and Ethan are discussing the advantages of aquaculture over net fishing. What is one advantage of aquaculture that Benjamin could mention to Ethan?

• Takes less water space and fuel

• Increases the risk of fishery collapse

• Requires a larger amount of land space

• Causes outbreaks of e.coli in the water
