Recirculatory Aquaculture System (RAS) are used in home aquaria and for fish production where water exchange is limited and the use of biofiltration is required to reduce ammonia toxicity. Other types of filtration and environmental control are often also necessary to maintain clean water and provide a suitable habitat for fish. The main benefit of RAS is the ability to reduce the need for fresh, clean water while still maintaining a healthy environment for fish. To be operated economically commercial RAS must have high fish stocking densities, and many researchers are currently conducting studies to determine if RAS is a viable form of intensive aquaculture.

A series of treatment processes is utilized to maintain water quality in intensive fish farming operations. These steps are often done in order or sometimes in tandem. Some of the important process are “Biofiltration, Solid Removal, Oxygenation, pH control, Temperature Control, Biosecurity and many. But regardless all must take place to ensure a healthy environment that maximizes fish growth and health.

AQUAPONICS

Aquaponics is the symbiotic collaboration of two different technologies of Aquaculture and Hydroponics together. Aquaculture is a methodology of growing fishes and aquatic creatures in a controlled environment and Hydroponics is a technology process to grow plants using soilless technology. In this noble symbiotic technological collaboration, the aquatic animals excreta become the source of nutrient to the plants. The plants off take the nutrients in the water from the fish pond and the micro organisms present in the plant root zone remove the toxicity in the water helping the water clean and suitable for fishes to thrive. This interdependent amalgamation of methodology between, plant – aquatic animals and microbes is called Aquaponics

Aquaponics can be termed to be a 100% organic crop production and it can lead higher potential for crop production, aquaculture and water usage. This system assures Zero liquid discharge in crop production and aquaculture, avoiding dumping of fish water into drinking water bodies or in ocean

Advantages of an Aquaponics system:

1). A farmer can parallelly grow fishes and do crop production together while adopting aquaponics technology. When we feed the aquatic animals, their excreta feed the plants as nutrients, making is a closed cycle.
2). The nutrients available in the water from the fish ponds will act as readily available nutrient source for the plants, ensuring no additional fertilisers are needed.
3) Aquaponics is established in a controlled environment making it to consume only about 10% of water required during a conventional farming practise.
4) The synthetic chemicals and fertilisers can’t be used in the process during Aquaponics, as it would result in mortality of the fishes. This ensures the organic nature of crops and fishes.
5) This results in healthier and organic vegetables.
6) Since there is no soil in the process, the soil borne diseases for the plants will not occur..
7) This process can be followed in a very small foot print area..
8) Since the fish waste is a readily available nutrient source for the plants to off take, the pants tend to grow faster and larger compared to conventional practise.
9) The process of crop production and fish farming in an aquaponics farm, can be done in a controlled environment.
10) The water consumption is very minimal and circulation is controlled and is consistent. This will lead to the effectiveness of the overall performance of the plant as the power and water consumption is reduced
