What is Aquaponics ?

[100mitra]

Hello.

Recently I am hearing this word , never heard of it. Had known Aquaculture. But not Aquaponics.

My questions :-

1) What is Aquaponics actually

2) How Workable it is

3) Can we use salty water [having more TDS] for that ?

4) Any consultants for this ?

Aquaponics /ˈækwəˈpɒnɨks/, is a food production system that combines conventional aquaculture, (raising aquatic animals such as snails, fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks), with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. In normal aquaculture, excretions from the animals being raised can accumulate in the water, increasing toxicity. In an aquaponic system, water from an aquaculture system is fed to a hydroponic system where the by-products are broken down by nitrogen-fixing bacteria into nitrates and nitrites, which are utilized by the plants as nutrients. The water is then recirculated back to the aquaculture system.

We supply Packaged Drinking Water Plants. That used RO technology, which removes salts from raw water. So it generates reject water which has salts.

Can we use this water ?

PH will be a problem in that case and will also create difficulty in growing Fish .
