Bioponics Systems: Hydroponics Plus Aquaculture
Bioponics is an agricultural system that combines hydroponic technology with aquaculture. It is different from hydroponics because the mineral nutrient solution that is pumped through the system is replaced with a natural, environmentally friendly form of fish effluent. This system is based on the same nutrient cycling that occurs in nature. Fish in the system eat pellet food that is turned into biomass and produces nitrogenous waste in the form of ammonia and nitrates. In a bioponic system the grow bed acts as a filter. The fish waste is pumped from the tank to the grow bed. The grow bed is filled with low-density volcanic rock that gives high surface area for bacteria and a substrate that the plant roots will grow in. The bacteria convert the fish waste into a form that can be utilized as fertilizer by the plants, creating growth in the bioponic system.
