Basically, aquaponics is the integration of fish aquaculture and hydroponics of growing plants in a water environment. Aquaponics is the best technique.
Aquaponics is an integrated biological system that includes two main elements.
1. Aquaculture subsystem, consisting of fish and other aquatic animal environments.
2. Hydroponic subsystem, consisting of hydroponically grown plants.
In this system, fish pond water reaches the plant bed after passing through mechanical filters and separating their solid particles. Where the environment is very suitable for the growth of beneficial bacteria (Nitrosmonas and Nitrobacter), the nitrites in the water are converted into nitrates by these bacteria to be used by plants, and after that the purified water is returned to The fish pond returns
What are the benefits of aquaponics?
• Reduce water consumption
• Improving the taste of products
• Increasing the quality of products
• Improving the water quality of the fish breeding pond
• Reducing environmental pollution
• Reducing the cost of water supply
• Reducing the use of chemical fertilizers
