Aquaponics is a highly sustainable and efficient method of growing plants while raising fish, but when combined with the benefits of a greenhouse, it becomes an even more robust system. Greenhouses provide a controlled environment to optimize plant and fish health, leading to higher yields and less waste. Whether you're a hobbyist or a commercial grower, understanding the relationship between aquaponics and greenhouses is critical to unlocking year-round productivity and sustainability.
You’re on the right track if you’ve been thinking about starting a garden to grow your own vegetables for family and friends, but lack the yard space and are overwhelmed by bugs and vermin, and by extremes of unpredictable weather conditions. If faced with these challenges, you may want to consider an investment in a quality environmentally controlled Gothic Arch Greenhouse and a hydroponic or aquaponic food production system to ensure a sustainable year around supply of fresh nutritious vegetables and fish.
The Aquaponic System has been successfully used for growing food fish, ornamentals and bait fish. A table is appended to the end of this Manual to give you an idea of the water quality tolerances of various fish species. When planning this part, pay closest attention to the temperature needs of the fish and make sure the Aquaponic System will be operated within the necessary range. For the plants’ sake, it will be good to aim for stocking enough in the tank to eventually reach a minimum of 25 lbs of fish.
