Hydroponic systems and water management in aquaponics : a review

Fish Welfare in Aquaponic Systems: Its Relation to Water Quality with an Emphasis on Feed and Faeces—A Review

Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture (fish) and hydroponic cultivation of plants. This review examines fish welfare in relation to rearing water quality, fish feed and fish waste and faeces to develop a sustainable aquaponic system where the co-cultured organisms, fish, bacteria in biofilters and plants, should be considered holistically in all aquaponics operations. Water quality param...

The Need for Systems Design for Robust Aquaponic Systems in the Urban Environment

Aquaponics – the co-production of fish and plant products – is gaining interest both by entrepreneurs and researchers. This article evaluates both the technical setup as well as the economic potential of aquaponic systems and is aimed at identifying relevant knowledge questions for further improvements. Using system requirements for hydroponic systems and aquaculture, the aquaponic system was c...

Haydn Christensen Senior Division Plant Sciences Aquaponics vs. Hydroponics: A Comparison of Tilapia Effluent and Conventional Fertilzers as a Hydroponic Nutrient

مقایسه خصوصیات اکوفیزیولوژیک گیاه فلفل در دو سیستم هیدروپونیک و آکواپونیک

Aquaponics is one of the recirculating aquaculture systems in which plant grows without soil. Considering the lack of information about aquaponic culture for main crops like pepper and the absence of comparison of plant conditions in soilless culture, in this experiment eco-physiological characteristics of pepper in hydroponics and aquaponics were investigated. After starting the plants to flow...

Aquaponics: integrating fish feeding rates and ion waste production for strawberry hydroponics

Aquaponics is the science of integrating intensive fish aquaculture with plant production in recirculating water systems. Although ion waste production by f ish cannot satisfy all plant requirements, less is known about the relationship between total feed provided for f ish and the production of milliequivalents (mEq) of different macronutrients for plants, especially for nutrient flow hydropon...
