What is Aquaponics? Aquaculture Hydroponics Aquaculture is Limited  Water quality and quantity  Growing Season  Effluent mitigation  Energy inputs  Markets  Feed Costs  Fry/fingerling availability  Labor  Nutrient management/  90% Less water effluent mitigation consumption  Plants grow 2x as fast  Soil pathogens eliminated  Year round production possible  Plants can be grown at desired height  75% smaller footprint  No weeding!!!!  Less space required per plant  Vertical production allows more efficient use of space  Prolonged individual plant life Where is aquaponics done? This means we need environmental control!  Light  Temperature  Humidity/Evaporation  Air Flow Pumps  Efficiency is key!  Use one pump and let gravity do the rest  Always have a backup pump!!!  Impeller pumps  Inline  Submersible  Mag-drive  Airlift pumps  Blower  Compressor  See “Paradigm shift with Airlift” https://learn.extension.org/events/1064
