With the advent of technology and all the modern techniques coming in, agriculture and pisciculture have come together in the form of Aquaponics. It has evolved as a modern way of cultivation and rearing which focuses on sustainability. But before we jump into how to build an aquaponics system, let\u2019s find out what exactly is Aquaponics!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Aquaponics?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aquaponics is an amalgamation of aquaculture and hydroponics; in simple\nterms, a system of aquaculture in which farmed fish and other aquatic animals\nsupply nutrients through their waste products for plants grown hydroponically.\nThe hydroponics used in this method also purifies water in return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aquaponics establishes a system for farming fish and plants together in a symbiotic setting. In this type of setting, one member or species benefits from the other. The fish produce waste that converts nitrates to ammonia<\/a>. This waste acts as a great fertilizer for the aquatic plants being grown in the system. Unlike the plants, the fishes are harmed because of the ammonia produced by them. In return for the fertilizer, the plants keep a check on the waste products by cleaning and filtering the water that goes back to the fish. This is exactly how an aquaponic system (virtual ecosystem) works in a complex manner, maintaining harmony and symbiosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Aquaponics system is in itself self-sustaining. This system keeps\nreviving the soil on which the plants grow and at the same time cleans and\nfilters the system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now let\u2019s take a look at the step-by-step method to build an aquaponics system:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
