What Is Aquaponics?
Aquaponics is the combination of Aquaculture and Hydroponics. Hydroponics requires expensive nutrients to feed the plants as well as periodic flushing of the systems which can lead to waste disposal issues. Re-circulating aquaculture needs to have excess nutrients removed from the system which can ordinarily means that a percentage of the water is removed on a daily basis. That nutrient rich water then needs to be disposed of and replaced with clean fresh water. Aquaponics allows you to produce fish and plants in the one system with a large reduction in water use.
Learn the role that nitrifying bacteria plays in the nitrogen cycle of aquaponics systems. Our article explains how these beneficial bacteria convert fish waste into plant nutrients. We also provide tips for maintaining optimal conditions to ensure a healthy and productive aquaponics ecosystem.
Fish food is the main input in an aquaponics system; therefore, it is essential to feed fish the right nutrition not only for the health of the fish but also because fish food becomes fish waste, which is the primary source of nutrients that feed the plants.
Explore the profitability of aquaponics farming in this article which covers system components, revenue generation, cost considerations, and strategies for maximizing profitability.
