Fish Farming combined with Hydroponics are growing in popularity these days!

Aquaculture fish farming is growing in popularity these days with the advances in aquaponics. There are new developments and technologies that are advancing this approach to agriculture and fish farms as it has grown substantially since 2006. In layman terms, it is a sustainable food production system that aims to combine with traditional aquaculture, which raises fish in tanks, with the use of hydroponics, which is the cultivating of plants in water in a mutually symbiotic environment.

In the aquaculture fish farming model, the fish wastes accumulate in the water which increases the toxicity for the fish. This water is then transferred to a hydroponic system where the by-products, or effluent from the aquaculture tanks are filtered out of the water as nutrition for the plants, which cleans the water and then it is returned back to the fish tanks for the animals. Aquaponics is a portmanteau of both the terms aquaculture and hydroponic. Continue Reading Aquaculture Fish Farming With Aquaponics Here
