Aquaponics: Integration of Fish and Plant Culture

Aquaponics is a sustainable farming method that combines aquaculture (fish farming) with hydroponics (growing plants in water). In this system, fish waste provides nutrients for plants, and the plants naturally filter and purify the water, which is then recirculated back to the fish tanks. Aquaponics offers a closed-loop system that maximizes resource efficiency, minimizes water usage, and allows for year-round cultivation of both fish and vegetables. This book explores the symbiotic relationship between fish and plants in a closed-loop system for sustainable food production.
