akvaponikk
Akvaponikk is a sustainable food production method that combines aquaculture (raising aquatic animals) with hydroponics (soil-less cultivation of plants) in a recirculating system. Waste produced by fish or other aquatic organisms is converted by bacteria into nutrients that feed plants; the plants, in turn, help purify the water that returns to the aquatic environment.
Typical systems include a fish tank, a biofilter where nitrifying bacteria convert ammonia to nitrite and nitrate,
Akvaponikk is valued for its efficient use of water, reduced reliance on synthetic fertilizers, and potential
Challenges include maintaining balanced water chemistry (pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate), temperature control, disease management, and initial
