Ko te angitu o te whakatipu ika me te kōura i roto i te wai e whakawhirinaki ana ki te whakahaere i te kounga o te wai. He pānga tika te kounga o te wai ki te oranga o te ika, te whāngai, te tipu me te whakaputa uri. Ko ngā mate ika ka puta i muri i te ahotea mai i te ngoikore o te kounga o te wai. Ka rerekē pea ngā raruraru kounga wai i ngā āhuatanga taiao (te ua nui, te hurihanga o te roto, me ētahi atu), i te āta haere rānei nā te whakahaere hē. He rerekē, he motuhake hoki ngā uara kounga wai o ia momo ika, kōura rānei, ā, ko te tikanga me ine e ngā kaimahi pāmu te pāmahana, te pH, te hāora rewa, te tote, te pakeke, te haukini me ētahi atu.)
Ahakoa i ēnei rā, ko te aroturukitanga kounga wai mō te umanga ahuwhenua ika he aroturuki ā-ringa tonu, ahakoa ehara i te aroturukitanga, he whakatau tata noa iho i runga i te wheako anake. He roa te wā, he nui te mahi, ehara i te tika. He tawhiti rawa atu i te whakatutuki i ngā hiahia o te whanaketanga o te ahuwhenua wheketere. Ka whakaratohia e BOQU he taputapu tātari kounga wai me ngā pūoko, ka taea te āwhina i ngā kaimahi pāmu ki te aroturuki i te kounga wai i roto i ngā haora 24 ipurangi, i te wā tūturu me ngā raraunga tika. Kia taea ai e te whakaputanga te whakatutuki i te hua nui me te whakaputanga pumau me te whakahaere i te kounga wai mā roto i ngā raraunga whaiaro mai i ngā taputapu tātari kounga wai ipurangi, me te karo i ngā mōrearea, me te nui ake o ngā painga.
