From fantasy languages to fish tanks – a few reads for water lovers.
The word comes from the Latin aqua, “water”, and fiction has loved it ever since. In Star Trek, the Aquans are the water-breathing natives of the planet Argo. In Pathfinder, Aquan is the language of water elementals and sea creatures, spoken far beyond the shores of the ordinary world.
Whether on a screen, in a rulebook or on the page, an Aquan always stands for the same thing: life that began in the water and never really left it.

Aquaculture – farming fish, shellfish and seaweed – now supplies roughly half of the aquatic animals we eat, and organisations such as the World Aquaculture Society work to make it sustainable.
