Aquaponics is the symbiotic cultivation of plants and aquatic animals in a recirculating environment.

Aquaponic integrated hydroponics (growing plants in water) and aquaculture (growing fish) system.

Aquatic animal effluent (for example fish waste) accumulates in water as a by product of keeping them in a closed system or tank (for example a recirculating aquaculture system).

 

Plants are grown in a way (for example a hydroponic system) that enables them to utilize the nutrient-rich water. The plants uptake the nutrients, reducing or eliminating the water's toxicity for the aquatic animal.

The water, now clean, is returned to the aquatic animal environment and the cycle continues. Aquaponic systems do not discharge or exchange water. The systems rely on the natural relationship between the aquatic animals and the plants to maintain the environment. Water is only added to replace water loss from absorption by the plants or evaporation into the air. As part of the 4th International Aquaculture Forum will be the 1st Meeting of National Aquaponic simultaneously the conference programme prepared for the 4th Forum, the event will take place from 29 to October 31, 2008 in Guadalajara , Jalisco , Mexico in Expo Guadalajara.
