What is Aquaponics?
Fish farming uniquely compliments hydroponics by adding value while removing the necessity of adding nutrients to a traditional hydroponic cycle.
Why Aquaponics?
Advantages:
- Fish provide the nutrients for plants
- Hydroponic component serves as a bio-filter
- Greatly reduced water consumption per kg of produced plant
- Profit potential from selling fish and Produce
- Reduction in land use for growing beds
Disadvantages:
- Requires constant electricity when site prevents a solar solution
- Water quality monitoring (especially in the beginning stages of the cycle)
- Limited freedom in selecting plants
What to expect…
– A system has a 1 to 2 year ramp up period to reach full production values as fish grow to full size and bacteria establishes itself in the system.
– Once system is in full maturity fish will grow from fingerling to harvest size in 9 months.
– Some crops, such as lettuce, can be harvested in as little as 32 days, while crops such as strawberry’s can take up to 7 months.
