Mediterranean Aquaponics: Fasting and Refeeding in a Polyculture Aquaponic System

Applied Sciences
The use of Mediterranean euryhaline fish and halophytes in aquaponics presents a sustainable and alternative approach to food production. The present study investigates the effect of compensatory growth on sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and Baltic prawn (Palaemon adspersus) co-cultivated with the halophytic glasswort (Salicornia europaea).

Aquaponics model can provide better productivity: Microorganisms affect the growth and health of tilapia

Aquaculture Reports
Aquaponics is a novel ecological agricultural strategy that combines aquaculture and hydroponic cultivation. The relationships between fish immunological and digestive functions, water quality, and bacterial populations were not well understood.

On the sustainability of aquaponics

Ecocycles, 2016
Aquaponics is an evolving closed-system food production technology that integrates recirculating aquaculture with hydroponics. In this paper we give a brief literature overview of the sustainability aspects of aquaponics by discussing its social, environmental, and economic impacts in different potential settings.

Aquaponics for the Anthropocene: Towards a ‘Sustainability First’ Agenda [PDF]

, 2019
Abstract‘The Anthropocene’ has emerged as a unique moment in earth history where humanity recognises its devastating capacity to destabilise the planetary processes upon which it depends. Modern agriculture plays a central role in this problematic. Food production innovations are needed that exceed traditional paradigms of the Green Revolution whilst ...

Optimization of Plant Nutrition in Aquaponics: The Impact of Trichoderma harzianum and Bacillus mojavensis on Lettuce and Basil Yield and Mineral Status

Plants
The present study aims to test the effect of a nutrient solution, with the addition of microbial inoculum, on the growth and mineral composition of ‘Hilbert’ and ‘Barlach’ lettuce cultivars (Lactuca sativa var. crispa, L.) and basil (Ocimum basilicum, L.)
