Abstract

Aquaponics is a typical bio-integrated system that forms a critical link between the recirculating aquaculture with hydroponic vegetable, flower, and/or herb production. It establishes a type of symbiotic relationship between aquatic animals with that of plants with in a system. Recent advances by researchers all around the globe have curved aquaponics into a working model of sustainable food production. This innovation named aquaponics respects principle of sustainability as well as gives a possibility to increase economical efficiency with an additional productivity. For the improvement of man’s health, we must reconsider the agricultural sciences in such a way that we can develop technologies friendly for the environment.
