Descripción
Aquaponics is the cultivation of plants and aquatic animals in a recirculating environment. It is a synergy between fish and plants and the term stems from the two words Aquaculture (the growing of fish in a closed environment) and Hydroponics (the growing of plants usually in a soil-less environment). Aquaponic systems come in various sizes from small indoor units to large commercial units. They can be either fresh water systems or contain salt or brackish water.
