Aquaponics is a method that integrates the recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) and hydroponics (the technique of growing plants without soil) in one production system. In aquaponics units, water from the fish tanks is recirculated through filters to feed beds of plants, and then back to the fish tanks.
Aquaponics is a miniature version of a natural ecosystem. It works the way Mother Nature normally works in every aquatic environment! First, in aquaponics, we put the fish to work. By working, we mean eating and pooping. This results in water that is rich in nutrients—yes, the fish poop! Then, bacteria come into play.
Afridi, while addressing a group of PCJCCI members, explicated that the Chinese model of latest soil-free and rooftop farming technology of "Aquaponics" present Pakistan with an opportunity not only to return a level of personal or food production to cities, but also create a viable commercial urban farming sector.
This study assessed the economic feasibility of a low-cost small-scale aquaponics system using production output and economic data. Price trends, cost, revenue, return on investment (ROI), net present value (NPV) using a 10-year period, …

Aquaponics is the closed-loop recirculating water system that mimics the natural process in rivers and lakes. Compared to soil-based systems, aquaponics offers a more sustainable method to grow
An independent academic feasibility study on small scale aquaponics farms in South Africa has not been performed before, causing current and prospective farmers to be uncertain about the prospects of the venture. The study is approached by investigating the aquaculture and aquaponics industry and gathering the relevant information.

Economic Feasibility of Aquaponics in the U.S. Table 2. Estimated investment costs, profitability, and returns on investment of aquaponics (various sources). Profitability ... Aquaponics growers must be aware of these concerns and ensure that the vegetables and fish supplied are free of harmful substances. These concerns are more common among ...
The purpose of this study is to determine the economic feasibility of a greenhouse aquaponics operation in the study area. Aquaponics is a very sustainable method of growing fish and produce. Aquaponics systems can create a large diversity and quantity of produce per square foot as well as fish.
Overall, it appears that aquaponic food production using the UVI CA2 system could be economically feasible in temperate climates, assuming a proper selection of crops, in conjunction with the existence of viable markets.
Although many studies have shown aquaponic food production to be technically feasible, there are relatively few studies concerning the economic feasibility …
Start-up aquaponics growers may want to explore revenue sources other than just the vegetables and fish produced from aquaponics to enhance economic feasibility. The …
What doeas Aquaponics mean? In according to Baker (2010) Aquaponics integrates hydroponics (the soilless growing of plants) and aquaculture (the raising of fish) into a closedloop system that ...
Abstract and Figures This study attempts to determine whether aquaponic food production can be economically feasible under greenhouse conditions in temperate climates. UVI CA2 aquaponic system...
Aquaponics is a combination of aquaculture and hydroponics. Its core is to use the wastewater from aquaculture to grow plants [].It is a sustainable agricultural model, which hydroponics reduces dependence on the land, recycles water to reduce waste, and uses fish manure to decrease energy use [].The factory aquaponics greenhouse is a …
Jun 22, 2019· Although we have witnessed the first research developments in aquaponics as far back as the late 1970s (Naegel 1977; Lewis et al. 1978), there is still a long road ahead for the sound economical assessment of aquaponics.The industry is developing slowly, and thus available data is often based on model cases from research and not on …
"Market feasibility studies show very strong growth in the aquaponics sector. The commercial sector in aquaponics is a feasible business model and shows promise to feed the future." Warrell's colleague, business manager Trevor Birba says loss of fertile land because of climate change and the growing popularity of land-based aquaculture ...
LAHORE - President Pak-China Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry Shah Faisal Afridi has suggested that by following Chinese rooftop farming technology of "Aquaponics", Pakistan can overcome food shortage, water crises, excessive use of pesticides and expensive fertilizers.
To determine whether aquaponics could be economically feasible under greenhouse conditions in temperate climates, cost and revenue data for constructing and operating the University of the Islands' Commercial Aquaponics 2 system were collected from various sources.
The financial feasibility analysis showed that the catfish farming business using water exchange system and aquaponic provide the highest benefit value. Catfish aquaculture using biofloc technology produced the lowest financial feasibility values as follows: 2242.23 US$ (NPV), 7.67 (BCR) and 184.07% (IRR) respectively.
The financial feasibility analysis suggested that the water exchange system was US$ 4204.29 (NPV), 12.52 (BCR), and 301.82% (IRR), in the aquaponic was US$ 5048.3 6 (NPV), 12.57 (BCR) and 303.48% (IRR) and for biofloc technology was US$ 2242.23 (NPV), 7.67 (BCR), and 184.07% (IRR), analysis period was five years.
