Aquaponics is a combination of traditional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as fish and prawns in tanks) and hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment.
This is an environmentally friendly and natural food growing method that is sustainable because of its natural recirculating ecosystem which is to convert fish waste to plant nutrients.
An aquaponics system can vary in size and complexity, from small home setups to large industrials systems.
