Explanation:

Ocean ranching is a type of fish farming in which juvenile fish are released into the ocean to grow unprotected and unassisted to be subsequently harvested (Thorpe 1980). This definition clearly excludes mariculture conducted in pens or other enclosed and protected environments.

Under the broadest definition of the term, marine resources are the things that plants, animals and humans need for life that originate in the ocean. Different organisms derive different resources from the marine biome. Most organisms that require marine resources for survival live inside the marine ecosystem.
