Aquaponics and spirulina

Aquaponics is a technique that allows for the raising of fish and the cultivation of plants within the same system. The waste produced by the fish is used as nutrients for the plants. The recycling of waste ensures a healthy environment for the fish and promotes plant growth.

Aquaponics is a cultivation system that combines aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (soil-less plant cultivation) in a symbiotic cycle. This system relies on a natural balance where fish waste serves as nutrients for the plants, while the plants filter and purify the water for the fish.

How does it work?

• Fish: They produce waste rich in ammonia.
• Bacteria: They transform this waste into nitrates, a form that plants can absorb.
• Plants: They absorb these nutrients, thus purifying the water.
• Water circulation: Once filtered by the plants, clean water is returned to the aquarium or tank.

Advantages of aquaponics

• Eco-friendly: Less water waste than traditional agriculture.
• Productive: Allows the cultivation of vegetables and fish farming at the same time.
• No chemical fertilizers: Nutrients come naturally from the fish.
• Autonomous and sustainable: A well-designed system requires little intervention once established.

Which plants and fish are suitable?

• Common fish: Tilapia, trout, carp, goldfish.
• Ideal plants: Lettuce, basil, tomatoes, strawberries, aromatic herbs.

It is an innovative cultivation method, ideal for local and sustainable production, whether on a small scale at home or on a larger scale for urban farms.
