Selection of suitable aquaponics system for empurau (Tor tambroides) fries nursery in polyculture method

Long-term use of the recirculated water for fish and crop production in aquaponics system that is major concern sustainable aquaculture reduction quality led to explore alternative way short-time can be nursery management. Three individual (nutrient film “NFT,” deep “DWC,” media bed “MBD”) along with a new combined (CAS) were used most suitable empurau fries nursery. It was done by determining comparison growth performance survivability plants cost–benefit analysis among 4 systems. The study conducted two phases. Phase 1 comprised effectiveness test filters newly designed CAS selection plant second phase. suitability an polyculture method adopted both filter leafy vegetables (Apium graveolens var. secalinum) selected from first phase further 2. results exhibited NFT significantly (P < 0.05) better compared other systems fry trend all studied factors > DWC ≥ MDB. Therefore, suggests using (Tor tambroides) fries’ short term.
