Aquaponics

"Aquaponics" is an agricultural method combining fish breeding (aquaculture) and tank farming (hydroponics). Excretions of fish are broken down by microbes to become the fertilizer for plants, while fish thrive in the water cleaned by absorption and purification by the plants. The method originated more than 1,000 years ago, but it has drawn attention again as an eco-friendly, environmentally sound system. This product has made it possible to have aquaponics indoors. While indoor plant factories are drawing attention these days, sometimes in the future there may be manufacturing facilities combining fish and plants designed to be like an aquarium to provide people with the solace of nature.
