belovelife Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Aquaponics Freshwater fish are the most common aquatic animal raised using aquaponics, although saltwater fish, crayfish and prawns may also be used.[citation needed] In practice, tilapia are the most popular fish for home and commercial projects that are intended to raise edible fish, although barramundi, Silver Perch, tandanus catfish, Jade perch and Murray cod are also used.[2] Most green leaf vegetables grow well in the hydroponic subsystem, although most profitable are varieties of chinese cabbage, lettuce, basil, roses, tomatoes, okra, cantaloupe and bell peppers.[2] Other species of vegetables that grow well in an aquaponic system include beans, peas, kohlrabi, watercress, taro, radishes, strawberries, melons, onions, turnips, parsnips, sweet potato and herbs.[citation needed] Since plants at different growth stages require different amounts of minerals and nutrients, plant harvesting is staggered with seedings growing at the same time as mature plants. This ensures stable nutrient content in the water because of continuous symbiotic cleansing of toxins from the water.[4]do you think lobster and cranberries would work please add other ideas, thank you Quote
