Abstract:
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Abstract:
Even in highly developed food markets, aquaponic products have not yet been successfully introduced. This is particularly surprising, as aquaponics is an excellent example of a sustainable circulation food production system. The purpose of this empirical study was to determine the factors that influence consumers’ willingness to pay for aquaponic products. The direct and indirect relationships were tested via Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Primary data of 315 respondents from Austria were collected. The findings revealed that the willingness to pay for aquaponic products was significantly and directly driven by the purchase intention. As a result, the successful implementation of aquaponics in the market requires the provision of information for consumers. We suggest emphasizing the value of aquaponics as a sustainable food production system, since indirect factors that influence the willingness to pay are (besides the assessment of aquaponics) environmental awareness and green consumption.

Abstract:
Aquaponics, an integrated system with both hydroponic plant production and aquaculture fish production, is an expanding alternative agriculture system. Many key questions about the overall feasibility of aquaponic systems remain unanswered. Of particular concern for start-up and established producers alike are consumer perceptions and willingness to pay for aquaponic produce and fish. This study reports results and analysis of a consumer survey about perceptions and preferences for aquaponic-grown products that was conducted in Minnesota during Feb. 2016. Probit and ordered probit models are used to evaluate the probability of different consumer demographic segments having various levels of knowledge and perceptions about aquaponics. About one-third of respondents had previously heard of aquaponics, and upon learning more about the system through the survey, respondents tended to be generally neutral or favorable to aquaponics. Price might be an issue for many consumers, but many tend to believe that aquaponics can impact the environment in a positive way. The results represent a first step toward building knowledge about the potential consumer base for aquaponics, which is a critical piece in the system’s potential overall profitability. It appears that consumer education and marketing will be key for the expansion of the market.

Abstract:
Aquaponics is a technique where a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) and hydroponics are integrated to grow plants and fish in a closed system. We investigated if the growth of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and baby spinach (Spinacia oleracea) would be affected in a coupled aquaponic system compared to the growth of the fish in RAS or plants in a hydroponic system, all systems as three replicates. We also investigated the possible effects of plants on the onset of nitrification in biofilters and on the concentration of off-flavor-causing agents geosmin (GSM) and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) in rainbow trout flesh and spinach. For the fish grown in aquaponics, the weight gain and specific growth rates were higher, and the feed conversion ratio was lower than those grown in RAS. In spinach, there were no significant differences in growth between aquaponic and hydroponic treatments. The concentration of GSM was significantly higher in the roots and MIB in the shoots of spinach grown in aquaponics than in hydroponics. In fish, the concentrations of MIB did not differ, but the concentrations of GSM were lower in aquaponics than in RAS. The onset of nitrification was faster in the aquaponic system than in RAS. In conclusion, spinach grew equally well in aquaponics and hydroponic systems. However, the aquaponic system was better than RAS in terms of onset of nitrification, fish growth, and lower concentrations of GSM in fish flesh.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: The global population is growing day by day, so the food demand is escalating as well. Traditional farming practices cannot cater to increasing fooddemand. Environmental stresses like global warming, mass flooding, insects attack, droughts are some of the key players affecting crop yield. These factors leave the soil barren for cultivation and attaining the highest yield. These changes demand a selection of an alternative method that is not only environment friendly but also sustainable. Aquaponics provides an ideal system for growing plants in soilless conditions. The Aquaponics system is a dual scheme of growing plants and fish at the same time. These systems utilize different approaches for growing plants and fishes simultaneously. This is through by circulating mechanism of an aquaponic system where fish waste in aquaculture provides nutrients to plants for the nourishment of hydroponic units. And plants purify water by utilizing nitrogen to maintain water for fish survival and growth. An aquaponic system is a sustainable methodology that does not affect the environment like conventional farming and is built on the recycling principle. A variety of vegetables like lettuce, cucumber, coriander, spinach, eggplant, basil are popular among domestic aquaponics farmers. Fishes are selected based on features like temperature for growth, nutritional requirements, etc. This review some of the main aquaponics systems and their components. Different requirements for establishing a successful aquaponic system are discussed. Furthermore, thesustainability of the aquaponic system is investigated, as the aquaponics system saves water and delivers nutritious food at smaller and larger scales

Abstract:
Aquaponics is an innovative, smart, and sustainable agricultural technology that integrates aquaculture (farming of fish) with hydroponics in growing vegetable crops symbiotically. The correct implementation of aquaponics helps in providing healthy organic foods with low consumption of water and chemical fertilizers. Numerous research attempts have been directed toward real implementations of this technology feasibly and reliably at large commercial scales and adopting it as a new precision technology. For better management of such technology, there is an urgent need to use the Internet of things (IoT) and smart sensing systems for monitoring and controlling all operations involved in the aquaponic systems. Thence, the objective of this article is to comprehensively highlight research endeavors devoted to the utilization of automated, fully operated aquaponic systems, by discussing all related aquaponic parameters aligned with smart automation scenarios and IoT supported by some examples and research results. Furthermore, an attempt to find potential gaps in the literature and future contributions related to automated aquaponics was highlighted. In the scope of the reviewed research works in this article, it is expected that the aquaponics system supported with smart control units will become more profitable, intelligent, accurate, and effective.

Abstract:
Food needs in urban areas are increasing along with increasing population growth. The problem of population growth in urban areas is always followed by the construction of housing facilities. The development of housing facilities has an impact on the availability of land and water resources for fish farming and agriculture. Aquaponics technology is a combination of aquaculture and hyroponics technology in one system to optimize the function of water and space as maintenance media. Aquaponic system is a system that offers solutions related to narrow land use and limited water resources for fish and plant cultivation activities. In this community service activity, the aquaponics system was introduced to the community in the Dahanrejo area, with several activities carried out including the creation of an aquaponics unit, counseling and training given to the community on this aquaponics technique and unit. In carrying out community service activities there are several stages that need to be carried out including: location surveying, designing and testing of acuponic technology, counseling and training, monitoring and surveying. From the activities carried out, 20 people received training on how to use the land for freshwater fish cultivation and crop cultivation using aquaponics technology. In addition, an aquaponic unit was handed over to the kelurahan as a model for the existing community.

Abstract:
Aquaponics is a combined cultivation method between fisheries and plants in one container. Aquaponics constantly use water from fish to plant management and on contrary from plants to fish ponds. In aquaponics, animal excretion is given to plants to be broken down into nitrates and nitrites through natural processes, and utilized by plants as nutrients. The aim of this research was to determine the response of Pakcoy green cabbage (Brassica rapa) to the nutrient solution nutrient (fish droppings) in the aquaponic system. This research was conducted on December 20, 2017 to February 20, 2018. The yield data from green cabbage plants (Brassica rapa) that had been obtained was analyzed using descriptive analysis. Based on the results of the study, by providing nutrient solutions in the form of fish droppings on green cabbage plants grown using the aquaponic system responds to the symptoms of yellow leaves and the size of small tubers.

Abstract:
Aquaponic nutrient studies often use various types of water containing high levels of mineral nutrients for water supply, making it difficult to accurately determine deficient nutrients limiting crop yield and quality across the systems. To avoid interference with background nutrients, we used reverse osmosis water in this study. The objectives were to identify critical nutrients that affect the yield and quality of cherry tomato-, basil-, and lettuce by characterizing nutrient composition and concentration in aquaponic systems in comparison to hydroponic systems. Daily release rate (mg L−1) of macronutrients derived from fish feed (41% protein, 1.1% phosphorus, 1% fish weight) was in decreasing order of SO4–S (16) > PO4–P (2.4) > NO3–N (1.0) > K (0.8) > Cl (0.5) > NH4–N (0.4) > Ca (0.2) > NO2–N (0.13) > Na (0.11) > Mg (0.02), in which daily inputs of Mg and Ca in aquaponics were found to be only 1–2% and 4–6%, respectively, of those in hydroponics. Subsequently, the average concentrations of all nutrients were significantly lower in aquaponics than in hydroponics during a 3-month production except for Cl, NH4–N, NO2–N, and Na. The concentration of Mg remained below 5 mg L−1 in all aquaponic systems, while the concentration of Ca rapidly decreased in tomato-based aquaponics, especially during fruiting. SPAD value (chlorophyll content) was associated with concentrations of leaf N, Mg, and/or Ca. Specifically, lower SPAD value was correlated with lower leaf Mg and Ca for tomato and lower leaf Mg for basil but neither Mg nor Ca for lettuce. The aquaponic solution contained nearly six-times higher Na than the hydroponic solution, resulting in three-times higher Na concentration in the edible portion of the crops. Compared to a lettuce-based aquaponic system, tomato- and basil-based systems retained more desirable water quality parameters (i.e., stable pH, lower temperature), had lower electrical conductivity (EC) via greater biomass production and, therefore, more efficient nutrient removal, and had lower feed conversion rate and higher fish biomass increment. Regardless of crop species, vegetative shoot biomass was significantly reduced in aquaponics than in hydroponics. However, the marketable yield of tomatoes was similar between aquaponics and hydroponics, while those of basil and lettuce were reduced in aquaponics by 56% and 67%, respectively, in comparison to hydroponics. Our results highlighted potential solutions to design proper nutrient management practices essential for the development of successful aquaponic production systems. Considering that ingested fish feed does not provide sufficient levels of Mg and/or Ca for crop production, it is suggested to supplement Mg before crop transplanting and Ca before fruiting of fruity crops to improve crop growth and quality in aquaponic systems, especially when high-quality water is used for water supply.

Abstract:
Aquaponics, the water-reusing production of fish and crops, is taken as an example to investigate the consequences of upscaling a nature-based solution in a circular city. We developed an upscaled-aquaponic scenario for the German metropolis of Berlin, analysed the impacts, and studied the system dynamics. To meet the annual fish, tomato, and lettuce demand of Berlin’s 3.77 million residents would require approximately 370 aquaponic facilities covering a total area of 224 hectares and the use of different combinations of fish and crops: catfish/tomato (56%), catfish/lettuce (13%), and tilapia/tomato (31%). As a predominant effect, in terms of water, aquaponic production would save about 2.0 million m3 of water compared to the baseline. On the supply-side, we identified significant causal link chains concerning the Food-Water-Energy nexus at the aquaponic facility level as well as causal relations of a production relocation to Berlin. On the demand-side, a ‘freshwater pescatarian diet’ is discussed. The new and comprehensive findings at different system levels require further investigations on this topic. Upscaled aquaponics can produce a relevant contribution to Berlin’s sustainability and to implement it, research is needed to find suitable sites for local aquaponics in Berlin, possibly inside buildings, on urban roofscape, or in peri-urban areas.

Abstract:
Increasing demands on our natural resources require unique solutions. Our design combines an aquaculture subsystem with a hydroponics subsystem to maximize efficiency and fully utilize all resources with minimal waste and environmental impact. Current aquaponics designs use either rectangular raceways or circular tanks for the aquaculture subsystem. Circular tanks are very common and offer the advantage of efficient solid waste removal. Solids can be pushed down towards a center drain and flushed out of the system easily with rotational flow within the tank. Raceway designs are also used extensively and offer the advantage of better utilization of floor space. Our design brings these two configurations together by creating circular flow in 3 hydraulically separate units within one rectangular raceway. In this way, solids removal is maximized and floor space is utilized fully. Our system is also designed to be fully portable on a flatbed trailer so that it can be used as an education exhibit around the region.

This thesis provides a cash flow analysis of an aquaponics system growing tilapia, perch, and lettuce in a temperate climate utilizing data collected via a case study of an aquaponics operation in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Literature regarding the financial feasibility of aquaponics as a business is scant. This thesis determines that in temperate climates, tilapia and vegetable sales or, alternatively, yellow perch and vegetable sales are insufficient sources of revenue for this aquaponics system to offset regular costs when grown in small quantities and when operated as a stand-alone for-profit business. However, it is possible to reach economies of scale and to attain profitability with a yellow perch and lettuce system. Moreover, there may be ways to increase the margin of profitability or to close the gap between income and expense through such things as alternative business models, value adding, procuring things for free, and diversifying revenue streams. Any organization or individual considering an aquaponics operation should conduct careful analysis and planning to determine if profitability is possible and to understand, in the instance that an aquaponics operation is not profitable, if the community and economic development benefits of the system outweigh the costs.

Abstract:
Wastewater or fish effluent (FE) from freshwater aquaculture can be a good and cheap liquid fertiliser for plants. However, while it represents a good source of nutrients to support plant growth in a system called aquaponics, it appears that its use needs to be optimised to take full advantage of the potential benefits. Apart from mineral amendments, the use of beneficial microorganisms that can have a direct impact on plant growth and nutrient utilisation could be a promising option. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are a group of rhizospheric bacteria, when introduced in association with the host plant at optimum density, can enhance plant growth and health. One well-known and versatile PGPR is Azospirillum brasilense that has numerous beneficial effects on plants. The production of phytohormones by the bacterium has been proposed as one of the major mechanisms responsible for the plant growth promoting effects observed in plants inoculated with Azospirillum. Hence, this PGPR could be a valuable input in vegetable production under an aquaponics system. In addition, despite the widespread studies conducted with this PGPR in various crops, there is no published report on vegetables fertilised with fish effluent or under an aquaponics system. This study focuses on evaluating the role of PGPR, particularly A. brasilense, on the growth and development of selected vegetable crops fertilised with fish effluent and using an aquaponics system. Strains of A. brasilense Sp7, Sp7-S and Sp245, Herbaspirillum seropedicea and Burkholderia phytofirmans PsJNT were used to inoculate seeds and/or seedlings by soaking and/or drenching. Inoculated and uninoculated seeds and seedlings were germinated and raised in controlled growing cabinets and a greenhouse, respectively. PGPR-inoculated vegetable seeds generally germinated faster and had better early seedling growth than uninoculated controls. Cucumber seeds inoculated with strains Sp7, Sp245 and H. seropedicea exhibited increase in germination percentage and shoot length by 9 and 20%, respectively, while all PGPR improved the germination vigour index, and enhanced length and weight of seedling roots by 25 and 23%, respectively. In tomato, Sp7-S enhanced the germination value, while most PGPR, except Sp7, significantly improved the germination vigour, root length (28%) and weight (37%) with superior vigor. In lettuce, Sp7-S, Sp245 and H. seropedicea inoculation resulted in longer roots (26%). Germination vigour was also improved by inoculation, except for B. phytofirmans. This improved germination and early seedling growth characteristics may influence future crop establishment and production. Of the two laboratory-based inoculation methods used, soaking appeared to be a better technique for enhanced early seedling growth by strains of A. brasilense. This effect could be related to their unique metabolic characteristics of the strains. The growth promoting effects of A. brasilense strains on the early seedling growth of vegetables varied between the bacterial strains and crop species, In particular, strains Sp7-S and Sp245 strongly enhanced root (85%) and shoot (75%) growth, germination value and vigour in tomato when inoculated by soaking. Sp245 increased endogenous plant IAA (indole-3-acetic acid) content of cucumber and lettuce by up to 100%, irrespective of inoculation method. This work demonstrates that the strains can be used for inoculation within the studied range of cell concentrations with or without plant growth promoting (PGP) effects. However, strain Sp7 appeared to be more influential at lower inoculum concentrations (about log10 6), while Sp7-S and Sp245 at log10 7 cfu mL-1 or higher. For instance, cucumber seeds inoculated with Sp7 log10 8 and 6, Sp7-S and Sp245 log10 8 and 7 cfu mL-1 increased seedling growth, vigour index and endogenous plant IAA by up to 55%. In lettuce, the inoculation with log10 6 of Sp7, log10 7 and 6 of Sp7-S, and log10 8 and 7 of Sp245 yielded superior seedling growth with improved seedling vigour, while log10 7 and 8 of Sp7 and Sp7-S, respectively, increased plant IAA concentration by more than 20%. In tomato, Sp7 at log10 6, Sp7-S and Sp245 at log10 7 enhanced the root biomass, while inoculation with all concentrations of Sp7 and Sp7-S, and log10 8 of Sp245 significantly increased plant IAA content by up to 300%. The inoculation with the bacterial cell suspension exerted more beneficial effects on the early seedling growth, vigor and endogenous plant IAA. In cucumber, seeds inoculated with bacterial cell and those treated with IAA solutions produced longer roots and shoots by 163 and 60%, respectively. Seedlings also exhibited superior vigor. These treatments, together with culture supernatant, and combined cell and supernatant, also increased endogenous plant IAA content, in which the combined cell and supernatant produced up to four-fold greater plant IAA concentrations. In lettuce, seeds inoculated with cell suspension produced longer roots (86%) with superior seedling vigour and elevated plant IAA. In tomato, inoculation with cell suspension and treatment with IAA solutions enhanced length of roots length by up to 52 and 188%, respectively, while all treatments significantly increased the plant IAA content by 70%. These results also demonstrate that bacterial cell suspension and combined cell and supernatant showed consistent effects on the expression of plant IAA. This work suggests that the endogenous IAA levels in the seeds during germination have been altered by the activity of live bacteria and phytohormones present in the supernatant. The altered root morphology of the seedlings due to A. brasilense inoculation might have enhanced the capacity of roots to absorb water and essential minerals leading to enhanced plant growth and metabolic activity. For instance, inoculated cucumber seedlings produced longer roots (23%), greater root biomass (19%), higher total phosphorus (15%), endogenous plant IAA (101%) and peroxidase activity (134%). In lettuce, inoculation increased root length (22%), peroxidase activity (53%) and plant IAA (38%). In addition, strain Sp7 enhanced the chlorophyll and protein contents by 25 and 42%, respectively. In tomato, inoculation resulted in longer roots (67%), larger leaves (22%), higher dry matter accumulation (33%), protein (15%) and endogenous plant IAA (94%) contents. Taller seedlings (12%) with larger stems (15%) and more developed leaves (9%) with greater fresh biomass (18%) were observed with Sp7 inoculation, while two-fold increase in peroxidase activity due to strain Sp245 was detected. On the other hand, inoculated basil seedlings grown in soil produced longer roots (90%), taller seedlings (19%) with more (25%) and larger (61%) leaves, which resulted in greater seedling biomass (61%) and phosphorus content (3%), and higher peroxidase activity (122%) particularly for those inoculated with Sp245 and Sp7, respectively. These plant growth promoting effects were also observed in basil grown in an aquaponics system. These include larger stems and leaves (25%), fresh weight yield (17%), peroxidase activity (73%), phosphorus (5%) and protein (23%) contents due to inoculation. The amount of endogenous plant IAA (27%) and chlorophyll (13%) contents were also increased by Sp7 and Sp7-S inoculation, respectively. This further suggests that A. brasilense could be a valuable agent to help maximize the usefulness of fish effluent or wastewater from freshwater aquaculture for vegetable seedling production. The 16S rDNA terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis revealed that inoculation with A. brasilense has no adverse effect to the existing rhizobacterial communities (measured by the changes in the distribution of detectable operational taxonomic unit (OTU) (represented by TRF)) in the root rhizosphere of vegetables (i.e. lettuce, cucumber and basil) grown under different systems (i.e. sterile artificial substrate, soil and aquaponics). This highlights that this PGPR did not cause disturbance to the resident microbial communities or imbalance of the normal functioning of the system. In aquaponics, the presence of a substantial density of A. brasilense strains in the root rhizosphere of basil and the enhanced plant growth and physiological parameters of inoculated basil may imply that Azospirillum have successfully established a beneficial association with the existing bacterial populations. Moreover, this study demonstrates the potential of Azospirillum to be a practical agent for enhancing plant growth and development of vegetables fertilised with fish effluent and under aquaponics system. Directing future research endeavors to better understand the basic mechanisms occurring in the Azospirillum-plant interaction rather than exploring large scale application of this PGPR would support further development of the bioinoculant technology.

Abstract:
Aquaponics might be one solution to produce food in a more sustainable way in the future. Aquaponics combines aquaculture and hydroponics in a way that the disadvantages of one system become the advantages of the other one. The nutrient rich excess water from the fish tank is used for plant growth, while the plants are used as biofilter to clean the water for the fish. Further closed loops can be created by using plant-residues, sludge and food wastes as raw materials for a biogas digester. With a combined heat and power plant (CHP) the produced methane can be used for heat and electricity production needed by the aquaponics. This report determines if such implementation can lead to reduced overall running costs and which size the aquaponics should have. As example location Sweden is chosen.It shows that the methane demand of a CHP requires a minimum size of the biogas digesters and aquaponics. In the aquaponics at least 50 t of fish have to be bread with a complementing grow bed area of 800 - 900 m2. In total the aquaponics system contains 1000 m3 water. The Energy produced by the CHP will not cover totally the energy demand of the aquaponics-system and should be complement by energy from other sources (e.g. solar cells, wind turbines) if there is no access to a stable external energy supply. Energy produced by the CHP has an average price between 1 - 2.1 kr/kWh. If no CHP is implemented, there is no minimum size required for the aquaponics- and biogas-system and the produced methane can be used for heating and cooking.

Abstract:
Aquaculture, the farming of aquatic animals and plants, is an important component of global food production, which supplies a nutritious protein source for millions of people. Interest in improving the sustainability of aquaculture has led to the development of aquaponics in which fish production is combined with plant production to create zero-discharge systems. A need for more fundamental science and engineering research on marine aquaculture and growing interest in production of halophytes motivated this novel research on marine aquaponics. One objective was to evaluate the growth and nutrient removal capacity of halophytes in marine aquaponics. Bench-scale studies were conducted to determine the best methodology to grow the halophytes sea purslane (Sesuvium portulacastrum) and saltwort (Batis maritima). The results indicated these species were important for nitrogen removal and function well under varying conditions of flow rate, species, or plant density. A prototype commercial-scale marine aquaponic system was evaluated through regular collection of water quality and plant growth data over a 9 month period. The system had a total volume of 50 m3 and contained: a swirl separator, uplfow media filter, a moving bed bioreactor, 61.4 m2 of hydroponic growing area, and a sand filter. Water quality parameters measured included: total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), nitrite (NO2-), nitrate (NO3-), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), and volatile suspended solids (VSS). TAN and nitrite concentrations in the fish tank effluent ranged from 0.04 to 2.42 mg/L TAN and 0.07 to 14.7 mg/L NO2--N, respectively. Nitrate concentrations increased to a maximum of 120 ± 5.7 mg/L NO3--N during the first 119 days of operation. To provide greater control over nitrate concentrations, the sand filter was converted into a downflow submerged packed bed biofilter. This reduced concentrations to a mean of 27.5 ± 13.7 mg/L NO3--N during the last 3 months. Dried plant samples were analyzed for nitrogen and phosphorus content. Nutrient uptake by plants ranged from 0.06 to 0.87 g N/m2/d and 0.01 to 0.14 g P/m2/d. It was estimated 0.55 kg/m2 of plant biomass could be harvested every 28 days. Red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) were initially stocked at an average weight of 0.047 kg and grew to a harvestable size of 0.91 kg in approximately 12 months. A mass balance indicated that plants contributed to less than 10% of nitrogen and phosphorus removal and passive denitrification was the dominant nitrogen removal process. The second objective was to evaluate the environmental impact of aquaponics through life cycle assessment (LCA). LCAs were completed on freshwater aquaponic systems at commercial- and residential-scales. The system expansion method was used address co-production of 1 ton live-weight fish, recovered solids, plants, and water treatment. The results indicated that aquaponics contributed to significant water savings; however, aquaponics is subject to trade-offs from high energy use and the addition of industrial fish feeds. The methodology developed for freshwater aquaponics was applied to the prototype commercial-scale marine aquaponic system and was compared with two alternative scenarios of maximized plant production and a denitrification reactor with no plant production. The results indicated that a system with a denitrification reactor had the lowest environmental impact. Alternatively in the system with maximized plant production, the use of renewable energy sources would reduce the environmental impact and would contribute to greater water savings, while realizing the economic benefits of dual products. This is the first study to complete an in-depth evaluation of a commercial-scale marine aquaponic system and to evaluate aquaponics using LCA while accounting for the potential environmental offsets of multiple co-products.

Abstract:
Aquaponik-Systeme stellen an sich einen sehr nachhaltigen, innovativen Ansatz für die zukünftige Lebensmittelproduktion dar. Allerdings hat sich bis heute noch kein flächendeckender, ökonomischer Erfolg eingestellt und wesentliche systemische Engpässe wurden wissenschaftlich nicht untersucht. Daher waren die Hauptziele dieser Dissertation, (I) sichere Nitratkonzentrationen in geschlossenen Kreislaufanlagen (RAS) zu ermitteln, unter denen optimales Wachstum und Tierwohl produzierter Tilapien gewährleistet ist, (II) die Evaluierung des besten Designkonzeptes für die optimale, kombinierte Produktion von Fisch und Pflanzen und (III) die allgemeine Effizienz bei der Wiederverwertung des Abwassers und der Nährstoffe aus dem Schlamm der mechanischen Filtrationseinheiten in aquaponischen Systemen zu erhöhen. Das Wachstum und die Gesundheit von Niltilapien (Oreochromis niloticus) wird durch hohe Nitratkonzentrationen (> 500 mgL-1 NO3--N) negativ beeinflusst. Nitratkonzentrationen, die für die Produktion von Pflanzen in aquaponischen Systemen (~ 200 mgL-1 NO3--N) optimal sind, haben keinen negativen Einfluss auf das Tierwohl. Entkoppelte Kreislaufsysteme sind bei einer professionellen aquaponischen Produktion von Fisch und Pflanzen zu bevorzugen. Bei der Produktion von Fisch ergab sich keinerlei Unterschied, jedoch wurde eine deutlich gesteigerte Tomatenproduktion von 36 % in entkoppelten Kreislaufsystemen erreicht. Die aerobe Mineralisation zeigte das beste Rückgewinnungpotential von Phosphat und nur geringe Nitratverluste und kann in der Gesamtheit eine deutliche Effizienzsteigerung aquaponischer Systeme zur Folge haben. Die Ergebnisse dieser Dissertation zeigen die Engpässe in der Aquaponik klar auf und liefern gleichzeitig Lösungsansätze, wie diese Hindernisse in Bezug auf das Nährstoff- und Ressourcenmanagement überwunden werden können. Dadurch kann die Nachhaltigkeit dieser Anlagen gesteigert und die Wahrscheinlichkeit des wirtschaftlichen Erfolges erhöht werden.
Aquaponics is the combination of fish production in aquaculture and hydroponic (soilless) production of crop plants. Despite of representing already a sustainable, innovative approach for future food production systems, aquaponics are still missing economic success and up to date major bottlenecks were not scientifically addressed. Therefore the main aims of this thesis were (I) to identify safe nitrate concentrations under which best growth and health status of tilapia can be guaranteed in aquaponics, (II) to evaluate the best design concept for an optimal combined production of fish and plants and (III) to increase the overall system efficiency by recycling waste water and nutrients deposited in the sludge of the mechanical filtration unit. The growth and health status of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is negatively affected by high nitrate concentrations (> 500 mgL-1 NO3--N) commonly reported for RAS. Nevertheless, optimal nitrate concentrations for plant production in aquaponic systems (~ 200 mgL-1 NO3--N) are not affecting fish welfare and allow for an efficient production of Nile tilapia. Decoupled aquaponics proved to be favorable for professional aquaponic production, whereas coupled systems were suboptimal for a combined production of fish and plants. There were no differences in fish production, whereas tomato production within the decoupled system was considerably increased by 36 %. Aerobic mineralization of phosphate revealed best phosphate recovery with only minor losses of nitrate. Recycling of water sludge mixture from clarifiers resulted in a substantial phosphor recovery, an increase in potassium and additional water savings. Conclusively, the results of this holistic thesis clearly revealed the bottlenecks in aquaponic technology and provided guidance in overcoming mayor obstacles in terms of optimized nutrient and resource management to increase the overall sustainability of these systems and improve production efficiency and profitability.

Abstract:
History has shown that over the past few decades the demand for remotely controlled systems has become increasingly popular in both commercial and residential applications. Having remote access to devices gives operators flexibly, and installs confidence about what they are monitoring is functioning correctly without having to be present. With the introduction to fly-in-fly-out (FIFO) working routines and various other careers that required similar periods of working away, remote monitoring and control can help users feel that little bit closer to home. This project involves developing a remotely controlled, monitoring and control system for an indoor aquaponics system. Having a system such as this enables users to have the ability to maintain and monitor an aquaponics system for a period of time without the need for human interaction. The purpose of this thesis is to document, and present information pertaining to the design, configuration, implementation, testing and final result for the monitoring and control system designed for this project. By achieving this objective, the user has the ability to remotely control and monitor an aquaponics system via a web browser interface. Included within this design is an alarming system, automated controllers, numerous sensory interfaces and data logging functionality. Extensive research was conducted to determine firstly, the most critical elements that needs to be monitored and controlled within an aquaponics system, and Secondly, how to achieve this in the most cost effective manner. Some of the key elements that have been examined and are included within this report are: suitable software and development platforms various sensors and displays available contingency alarms, and the development of suitable graphical displays. A Raspberry Pi performs the function of a central host and master controller. The Raspberry Pi performs a vast array of tasks in relation to this project and is configured as a LAMP server. An Arduino Nano has been programmed as a slave device. The role of the Arduino Nano is to: actuate the Raspberry Pi’s requests, provide the sensory information, and to monitor some of the electrical hardware. Although this thesis is primarily focused on developing a remotely controlled monitoring and control system for an aquaponics assembly, the technology and concepts could very easily be applied to suit a wide variety of applications.

Abstract:
This study involves tracing inputs, partitioning, and outputs of phosphorus (P) through an aquaponics system. A mathematical model was developed to describe the dynamics of phosphorus in an aquaponics nutrient solution, and to maximize P use efficiency and minimize P waste. We assessed the influence of pH on the availability and speciation of phosphorus in an aquaponics nutrient solution. By using Visual MINTEQ, a freeware chemical equilibrium model for the calculation of element speciation, solubility equilibria, and sorption for natural waters, it was discovered that high pH values favor the formation of calcium phosphate complexes, decreasing the concentration of free phosphorus in aquaponics nutrient solutions. In addition, the mineralization of organic phosphorus in aquaponics systems was evaluated using treatments with phytase supplementation to fish diets, and incorporation of a microbial inoculant in the aquaponics nutrient solution. Overall, dietary phytase and microorganisms promoted phosphorus mineralization and enhanced phosphorus utilization in aquaponics systems. In the end, we conclude that aquaponics systems can keep the same growth performance and quality of vegetable crops grown in conventional systems when the availability and dynamics of phosphorus are well managed.

Abstract:
AbstractIncreased public interest in aquaponics necessitates a greater need to monitor fish health to minimize risk of infectious and non-infectious disease outbreaks which result from problematic biosecurity. Fish losses due to health and disease, as well as reporting of poor management practices and quality in produce, which could in a worst-case scenario affect human health, can lead to serious economic and reputational vulnerability for the aquaponics industry. The complexity of aquaponic systems prevents using many antimicrobial/antiparasitic agents or disinfectants to eradicate diseases or parasites. In this chapter, we provide an overview of potential hazards in terms of risks related to aquatic animal health and describe preventive approaches specific to aquaponic systems.

Abstract:
AbstractAquaponic systems are often designated as sustainable food production systems that are still facing various challenges, especially when they are considered as a commercial endeavour that needs to compete on the market. The early stages of the aquaponics industry have witnessed a number of unrealistic statements about the economic advantageousness of aquaponics. This chapter deals with these topics and discusses them critically. The latest scientific literature and current personal experiences of European commercial aquaponics farmers are taken into account on three levels: The horticulture side of production, the aquaculture side of production and the early data on the market response to aquaponics, emphasising the marketing issues and public acceptance of aquaponics. In summary, the chapter does not provide an “off-the-peg” solution to evaluate the economic performance of a particular aquaponics system. Instead it provides a broad database that enables an estimation of the efficiency of a planned system more realistically, pointing to challenges that the commercial aquaponics early adopters faced that are important lessons for future aquaponic endeavours, particularly in Europe.

AbstractThis chapter presents some examples of recent initiatives by social enterprises using aquaponics. Aquaponics offers an innovative form of therapeutic horticulture, which can provide employment and promote well-being for people with disabilities. If implemented as a program to be managed by local communities, aquaponic systems also have the potential to address issues such as food security and food sovereignty, especially in urban areas. Increasing public familiarity with aquaponics has seen a number of social ventures being set up around the world. However, the viability of these depends not only on stakeholder commitment, thorough market analysis, clear governance structures, and a robust business plan but also on external factors, such as the local political context and regulations.

Abstract:
AbstractAquaponics is a technology that is part of the broader integrated agri-aquaculture systems discipline which seeks to combine animal and plant culture technologies to confer advantages and conserve nutrients and other biological and economic resources. It emerged in the USA in the early 1970s and has recently seen a resurgence, especially in Europe. Whilst aquaponics broadly combines recirculating fish culture with hydroponic plant production, the application of the term aquaponic is broad and many technologies claim use of the name. Combining fish culture with aquatic-based, terrestrial plant culture via aquaponics may be better defined via its nutrient resource sharing credentials. Aquaponics applies several principles including, but not limited to, efficient water use, efficient nutrient use, lowered or negated environmental impact and the application of biological and ecological approaches to agricultural fish and plant production. Water sources are important so that the nutrients required for fish and plant production are available and balanced, and system water chemistry is paramount to optimised fish and plant production. Systems may be configured in several ways, including those that are fully recirculating and those that are decoupled. Aquaponics importantly seeks to apply methods that provide technical, biological, chemical, environmental and economic advantages.

Abstract:
AbstractAmong the diversity of plant diseases occurring in aquaponics, soil-borne pathogens, such as Fusarium spp., Phytophthora spp. and Pythium spp., are the most problematic due to their preference for humid/aquatic environment conditions. Phytophthora spp. and Pythium spp. which belong to the Oomycetes pseudo-fungi require special attention because of their mobile form of dispersion, the so-called zoospores that can move freely and actively in liquid water. In coupled aquaponics, curative methods are still limited because of the possible toxicity of pesticides and chemical agents for fish and beneficial bacteria (e.g. nitrifying bacteria of the biofilter). Furthermore, the development of biocontrol agents for aquaponic use is still at its beginning. Consequently, ways to control the initial infection and the progression of a disease are mainly based on preventive actions and water physical treatments. However, suppressive action (suppression) could happen in aquaponic environment considering recent papers and the suppressive activity already highlighted in hydroponics. In addition, aquaponic water contains organic matter that could promote establishment and growth of heterotrophic bacteria in the system or even improve plant growth and viability directly. With regards to organic hydroponics (i.e. use of organic fertilisation and organic plant media), these bacteria could act as antagonist agents or as plant defence elicitors to protect plants from diseases. In the future, research on the disease suppressive ability of the aquaponic biotope must be increased, as well as isolation, characterisation and formulation of microbial plant pathogen antagonists. Finally, a good knowledge in the rapid identification of pathogens, combined with control methods and diseases monitoring, as recommended in integrated plant pest management, is the key to an efficient control of plant diseases in aquaponics.

Abstract:
Aquaponics is an eco-friendly system for food production utilizing aquaculture and hydroponics to cultivate fish and crop without soil. It is an inexpensive symbiotic cycle between the fish and plant. In an aquaponic system, fish waste (ammonia) is fed into the plant bed which acts as a bio-filter and takes the nitrate which is essential to grow vegetation. The fresh new water is then returned to the fish enclosure to restart the cycle. A unique advantage of an aquaponic system is conserving water more effectively compared to traditional irrigation systems. Conservation of water is accomplished by recirculating water between the plant bed and the fish habitat continuously. Organic fertilization of plants using dissolved fish waste is the other benefit of aquaponics. Utilizing plants as a natural alternative to other filters, requires less monitoring of water quality. In our project, an aquaponics system was designed and built in Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies at California State Polytechnic University of Pomona. The future purpose of our project is finding an optimized situation for the aquaponics system to produce food and save water more efficiently and eco-friendly.

Abstract:
This research collaboration between the Circular City + Living Systems (CCLS) research lab and the architecture practice Weber Thompson addresses the intersection of three critical topics affecting the carbon footprint of the built environment: adaptive reuse of existing buildings, increased availability of electric and autonomous vehicles, and food production in cities. This study measures and compares the relative impact of the operational carbon impact reduction of an eventual transition to electric autonomous vehicles, the embodied carbon reduction of adaptive building reuse, and the potential to sequester carbon as a benefit from living systems in urban aquaponics operations in adapted parking garages. Aquaponics, the combination of aquaculture and hydroponic growing systems, optimizes food, water, energy, and waste flows and reduces the need for resource input through high-efficiency, cyclical exchanges. Integrating and scaling up aquaponic food production systems into cities provides an innovative approach to producing sustainable urban food and mitigating urban environmental challenges. Through case study research, resource and scale analysis, this project leverages collaboration between practice and academia to explore the carbon impact of a promising near-future adaptive reuse of parking garages for urban food production. The relative embodied carbon impacts of adaptive building reuse, operational carbon reduction of transition to autonomous electric vehicles, and sequestration of carbon through urban aquaponics operations are measured and compared to advance and assess the viability of an innovative adaptive reuse concept.
