A sucessful aquaponic system works on the fish producing nutrients (fish poo) that cycles through to the plants which in turn filter the water, the filtered water is then returned to the fish tank and so the cycle continues.
A variety of fish can be grown and harvested all year round. Many fruits and vegetables grow very well in aquaponic systems.
Some maintenance is required such as water testing, but mostly all you have to do is feed the fish.
Jade Perch is one of the fish breeds that do very well in the aquaponic systems, it also has a very high Omega 3 content in relation to salmon & sawfish.
