    Aquaponics is a combination of aquaculture and hydroponics that grows fish and plants together in a symbiotic system. Fish waste provides nutrients for plants to grow hydroponically while plants filter the water for the fish. Beneficial bacteria convert fish waste into plant nutrients, creating a sustainable closed-loop system with lower water usage than traditional agriculture. Common plants grown include lettuce and herbs, while tilapia and other fish provide the waste. Aquaponics allows organic food production year-round with less water and no need for fertilizers or pesticides.

    Aquaponics is a sustainable system that combines aquaculture and hydroponics to grow fish and plants together in a symbiotic environment. Fish waste provides nutrients for plants to grow while plants filter the water for the fish. Beneficial bacteria also play an important role in converting fish waste into nutrients for plant growth.

    Aquaponics is a combination of aquaculture, which is growing fish and other aquatic animals, and hydroponics which is growing plants without soil. In an aquaponics system, the fish waste provides nutrients for the plants while the plants filter the water, which is then recirculated back to the fish in a closed-loop system.

    The main components involved in an aquaponics system are fish, plants, and bacteria. Fish are grown in tanks and provide waste for plants. Plants are grown hydroponically and filter the water for the fish. Beneficial bacteria convert the fish waste into nutrients useable by the plants.

    0 What is
    Aquaponics?

    a combination of aquaculture,
    which is growing fish and other
    aquatic animals, and hydroponics
    which is growing plants without
    soil.
    In return, the vegetables clean the water that goes
    back to the fish.

    Along with the fish and their waste, microbes


    play an important role to the nutrition of the
    plants.

    These beneficial bacteria gather in the spaces


    between the roots of the plant and convert the fish
    waste and the solids into substances the plants can
    use to grow.
    AQUAPONICS

     Aquaponics is a big hope for sustainable organic crop production, aquaculture


    and water consumption.

     The fish waste is recycled and used for plant growth instead of throwing it in the
    ocean. The water recirculates in a closed system lowering the consumption of this
    resource.

     Aquaponics is a completely natural process that mimics all lakes, ponds, rivers
    and waterways on Earth. The only input into an aquaponics system is fish food.

     You cannot use herbicides, pesticides or other harsh chemicals in an aquaponics


    system, making the fish and plants healthful and safe to eat.
    IMPORTANCE OF PH CONTROL IN AQUAPONICS

     pH is an important part of aquaculture. Setting it to a perfect level can be a bit


    confusing since there are three living organisms to care for: your plants, your fish,
    and the bacteria inside the water and each of them has a different pH need.

    A too alkaline or too acidic pH is one of the main reasons fish or plants die,
    leading to gardening failure.

    aquatic animals you can grow are
    snails and shrimps. You can feed the
    fish special food you can purchase in
    an animal store or other foods like
    water lettuce and duckweed.
    BENEFITS OF AQUAPONICS

    1. Aquaponics is a way to grow your own fish and vegetables at the same time.
    You feed the fish and the fish will feed your plants through their waste output.

    2. There is no need to use fertilizers because the fish provide rich nutrients for the
    plants.

    3. In aquaponics, less water is used for the crops. Research has shown that
    aquaponic gardens use 1/10th of the water you would use for soil garden.

    4. Regular gardening pesticides or other chemicals can’t be used because they


    would harm the fish.

    5. This results in healthier and organic vegetables.


    BENEFITS OF AQUAPONICS

    6. You won’t experience any soil borne diseases in aquaponics because there is
    no soil.

    7. You can grow plants in very small space, and have a great harvest.

    8. Plants grow fast because they get very nutritious substances from the fish
    waste.

    9. Plants and fish production can be done in a controlled temperature


    environment.

    10. Water is used in a closed system and circulated effectively, reducing the
    consumption and the water bills.
