Aquaponics is a sustainable food production system that combines a traditional aquaculture
(raising aquatic animals such as fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks) withhydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. In the aquaculture,effluents accumulate in the water, increasing toxicity for the fish. This water is led to a hydroponic system where the by-products from the aquaculture are filtered out by the plants as vital nutrients, after which the cleansed water is recirculated back to the animals. The term aquaponics is a portmanteau of the terms aquaculture and hydroponic.Aquaponic systems vary in size from small indoor or outdoor units to large commercial units, using the same technology. The systems usually contain fresh water, but salt water systems are plausible depending on the type of aquatic animal and which plants. Aquaponic science may still be considered to be at an early stage.
