Hello, singh7. When you see raised at in English, you expect a location of some sort to follow:

The issue was raised (i.e. brought up) at the meeting.

The meeting is understood to have occurred at some unspecified place. Perhaps curiously, the same usage can occur in reference to time:

He was raised at a time in which such behavior was seen as controversial.

The location, in a manner of speaking, is understood as a particular moment in time: a year, a decade, a century, or whatever slice of time the context of the passage would suggest.

In the sentence at hand, aquaculture is a practice, not something that can be indexed in the same way you see in the sentences above, and it thus makes no sense to say that fish are being raised at aquaculture. (It would be akin to writing, He was being trained at teaching—the practice of teaching uses in instead.)

I would not worry too much idioms. I know they can be a headache at times, but modern questions tend to provide other splits that you can use to disqualify a given answer choice.

Good luck with your studies.

- Andrew
