Domesticating fish thousands of years after domesticating animals might be attributed to the challenges of fish domestication. Unlike land animals, fish live in water, which presents unique difficulties in controlling their reproduction, feeding, and environment. Early human societies likely had more accessible and reliable food sources from land animals, which led to the prioritization of land-based domestication efforts. Additionally, the diversity of fish species and their specific habitat requirements made the domestication process more complex than that of terrestrial animals.
