Aquaponics market is potential enough to touch $1billion mark by 2020 | Página 2

Aquaponics Market Forecast (2013 - 2018) Aquaponics is a method of food production in which aquaculture and hydroponics is mixed together to create a symbiotic ecosystem. This system is harnessed to grow plants and fish with the help of nitrifaction using bacteria to provide the necessary nutrients. The plants in the hydroponic growth beds feed on the nutrient rich waste water from fish. Filtering beds remove fish affluent, algae, leftover fish feed and help recycle fresh water in to the fish tanks. Plants convert the carbon dioxide into oxygen, hence acting as natural water aeration systems. Aquaponics has been practised as a sustainable form of agriculture for a very long time in history, dating back to the Aztecs. This form is currently making a huge comeback with many farmers, households and communities trying to implement it in their backyards or in their farms Contact : 1-614-588-8538 (Ext-101) US/CAN Toll Free / Mail: [email protected]
