Semi-intensive system (aquaculture)
A farming system defined by the [Aquaculture Production Intensity Scale](https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/12/3/765/pdf) as: Systems that always supply the input function of ‘stocking‘, and either ‘feeding‘ or ‘fertilizing ́ and the output function of ‘harvesting‘. The other input and output functions are optional. These systems have at least one treatment function. These are the minimum requirements for calling a system semi‐intensive. These aquaculture systems differ from extensive ones as they allow treatment functions and must include feeding or fertilizing.
