Ecological Models in Aquaculture

Ecological Models in Aquaculture

We’ve previously talked about aquaculture, which is the idea that hydroponics growers can branch out from just growing plants and also keep some fish or other sea creatures in the reservoir environment – this kind of complex indoor agriculture is something that a lot of people are now looking at and having a wide spectrum of experiences with. Aquaculture is something that’s often a sensitive project, and changes on a case-by-case basis.

Some Interesting Aquaculture Experiments

Some growers report that they are able to make some of these tank-based systems work on a very lean model – for example, one grower that we talked to mentioned how some solid buildups in the tank ultimately became fish food, along with small worms that ended up populating that residue. Some of the growers who take this kind of approach say that they can actually run these kinds of operations without feeding the fish conventional meal, which can break down and cause problems in the hydroponic environment.

Setting Up Aquaculture Projects

Although some growers are really enthusiastic about adding fauna to flora, others are a lot more skeptical. It can take an intense amount of scientific knowledge and problem solving to actually set up a successful project that farms both vegetables and fish. Growers can get support from the general hydroponics community, and your hydroponics retailer can also help you to figure out how to get the best pieces of equipment to get optimal chances of success in the long run. Take your time and do the required research to get a much better chance of triumphing over some of the natural challenges of these complex horticultural and farming projects.
