Aquaponics combines fish farming and plant cultivation in a symbiotic system. Fish produce waste, rich in nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, which is converted by bacteria into forms plants can absorb. Plants, grown hydroponically, filter the water by consuming these nutrients, creating a clean environment for the fish. Common fish species include tilapia, carp, or trout, while plants like lettuce, herbs, or tomatoes thrive. This sustainable method saves water, reduces waste, and yields both fish and crops. Key considerations include maintaining water quality, pH balance, and proper fish-to-plant ratios. Aquaponics is ideal for small-scale or commercial setups, promoting eco-friendly food production.
