Aquaponic

Aquaponics is the symbiotic cultivation of plants and aquatic animals in a recirculating environment. Aquaponic comes from the two words aquaculture and hydroponic. The main aim of such systems is the recycling of the nutrients contained in the water from aquatic animal effluent. The system contain of to interlinked compartement, one for growing plants and one for growing aquatic animals. The plants take up the nutrients, allowing them to grow and reducing or eliminating the water's toxicity for the aquatic animal. Thus the water can be recirculated back to the animal pond where it will be charged again by nutrients.
