I fail to understand that why do you differentiate aquaculture and commercial fisheries. Why would a person take up aquaculture if not for earning. Aquaculture is mainly undertaken for commercial purpose. If you are confusing yourself between capture fisheries and culture fisheries then they are different yet similar. Similarity lies in that both are heavily dependent upon water resource and the stock has to be managed for sustainable yields. In aquaculture you have to keep in mind the carrying capacity of your culture system like pond while in capture system you have to manage the stock of fisheries by determining the minimum size of catch and the maximum amount you can harvest (two amongst many intricate management policies). But please elaborate your question and be technically clear so that I can help you further.
