Aquaponics is a new type of compound farming system that combines aquaculture and hydroponics, two completely different farming techniques. Through clever ecological design, it achieves scientific synergistic symbiosis, achieving the ecological symbiotic effect of fish farming without changing water and without water quality concerns, and vegetable planting without fertilization and normal growth.
In traditional aquaculture, as fish excreta accumulate, the ammonia nitrogen in the water increases, and the toxicity gradually increases. In the fish vegetable symbiotic system, the water from aquaculture is transported to the hydroponic cultivation system. Bacteria decompose the ammonia nitrogen in the water into nitrite, which is then decomposed into nitrate by nitrifying bacteria. Nitrate can be directly absorbed and utilized by plants as nutrients. The symbiosis of fish and vegetables achieves a harmonious ecological balance between animals, plants, and microorganisms. It is a sustainable, circular, zero emission low-carbon production model and an effective way to solve agricultural ecological crises.
The three most attractive aspects of fish and vegetable symbiosis to consumers are: firstly, the planting method can self prove innocence. Due to the presence of fish in the fish vegetable symbiotic system, no pesticides can be used. Any carelessness can cause the death of fish and beneficial microbial populations, as well as the collapse of the system. The second fish vegetable symbiosis is separated from soil cultivation, avoiding heavy metal pollution in the soil. Therefore, the heavy metal residues in vegetables and aquatic products in the fish vegetable symbiosis system are much lower than those in traditional soil cultivation. The third fish vegetable symbiosis system has unique aquatic roots in vegetables. If the fish vegetable symbiosis farm delivers with roots, consumers can easily identify the source of the vegetables, avoiding doubts about whether the vegetables come from wholesale markets.
