Aquaponic System Design Parameters: Fish to Plant Ratios (Feeding Rate Ratios)
نویسنده
چکیده
Aquaponic fish to plant ratios, or more correctly, aquaponic feeding rate ratios, are an area of aquaponics that have been much debated. There seems to be many approaches to sizing the two main components of aquaponic systems (the fish component and the plant component), whether in a hobby-scale context or a commercial-scale context. I often say that ratios are the “Golden egg” of aquaponics as a reliable method often seems difficult for authors, operators and designers to identify!

Aquaponic is a combination of fish and plant cultivated in recirculating systems. Fish culture in closed recirculating systems causes organic waste accumulation in the system. If these metabolites are used for plant nutrition, they are not mere waste, but have economical value and however benefit the fish production systems. Most aquaponic systems are designed as perlite-filled media, thin laye...
متن کاملFish Welfare in Aquaponic Systems: Its Relation to Water Quality with an Emphasis on Feed and Faeces—A Review
Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture (fish) and hydroponic cultivation of plants. This review examines fish welfare in relation to rearing water quality, fish feed and fish waste and faeces to develop a sustainable aquaponic system where the co-cultured organisms, fish, bacteria in biofilters and plants, should be considered holistically in all aquaponics operations. Water quality param...

This paper describes the potential of aquaponic as a poverty eradication tool in Malaysia. Although Malaysia is recognized as a developed country, poverty is still occurring among Malaysian, especially from rural area. Therefore, aquaponic – a modern farming system is being introduced to benefit the low income family. Aquaponic is the term that described the synergistic combination of aquacultu...

Due to fresh water resource limits and environmental damage caused by aquaculture waste using systems based on sustainable development at the global level is highly regarded. Aquaponics or fish and plant co-culture system is one of the new approaches to achieve aquaculture sustainable development. In this study which was conducted , in 2015, at Ahvaz Azadegan warm water fish culture complex, 6 ...
متن کاملPotential for Combined Biocontrol Activity against Fungal Fish and Plant Pathogens by Bacterial Isolates from a Model Aquaponic System
One of the main challenges in aquaponics is disease control. One possible solution for this is biological control with organisms exerting inhibitory effects on fish and plant pathogens. The aim of this study was to examine the potential of isolating microorganisms that exert an inhibitory effect on both plant and fish pathogens from an established aquaponic system. We obtained 924 isolates on s...
