aquacultural = aquaculture (transparent) = aqua + culture + al

Etymology
Aquacultural comes from two parts: aqua meaning 'water' and culture meaning 'to grow' or 'to farm', just like agriculture is farming on land. So aquacultural describes work or systems for growing plants or animals in water, such as fish farming.
