“…koi) fed with 2% body weight in aquaponic systems. However, the SGRs of the fish were lower than those (5.41%-5.50%) achieved by [44,45] for common carp reared in aquaponic systems. The lower SGRs may be related to the different temperature (14.14 • C), feeding rates (2%), and stocking density of the fish (2.02 kg/m 3 ) used in this study compared to those used by [44,45] (25.78 • C, 5% body weight and 0.090 kg/m 3 , respectively).…”

The harvesting of plant biomass is usually implemented as an effective tool for plant management and removing the nutrients absorbed in plant tissues. Here, the influence of harvesting different biomasses (50%, 33%, 25%, and 0% (no harvest)) of watercress (Nasturtium officinale) was investigated in integrated recirculating aquaponic systems (IRASs) for rearing common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Twelve independent IRASs were designed (4 × 3); each system consisted of a fish rearing tank, a waste collection tank, and a hydroponic bed. Water quality parameters and the growth of both fish and plants were measured in all the systems, and then the nutrient removal capacities of the hydroponic beds were calculated. The results revealed that increasing the biweekly harvested biomass of the plants decreased the growth of the watercress, while it did not affect the growth of the common carp. Increasing the harvested biomass of the plants also decreased the nitrate nitrogen and orthophosphate removal efficiencies of the aquaponic systems, while it did not affect the ammonia and nitrite nitrogen removal efficiencies. Therefore, a biweekly harvesting of less than 25% of the biomass of the growing watercress is recommended for efficient nutrient removal and the sustainable growth of both watercress and the common carp in aquaponic systems.

“…Comparative studies under aquaponic conditions with basil and different hydroponic subsystems are scarce. Another herb, mint (Mentha arvensis), showed significantly better yield in crushed stone media beds (size: 0.5-1.0 cm, yield: 1.076 kg), compared to floating raft (0.916 kg) in combination with common carp (Cyprinus carpio) [65]. Aquaponic production of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) in combination with Murray cod (Maccullochella peelii peelii) had the best plant growth in the gravel subsystem with constant flood [16].…”

Basil (Ocimum basilicum) was cultivated in northern Germany in three different hydroponic components: grow pipes, a raft, and an ebb-and-flood gravel substrate. The nutrients originated from the intensive production of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) with 140 fish/m3 under decoupled aquaponic conditions. After 41 days, plants were significantly taller in the gravel components (101.8 ± 8.3 cm), followed by the grow pipes (96.7 ± 7.0 cm), and the raft (94.8 ± 8.6 cm) components (gravel > grow pipes = raft). The leaf number was high and not significantly different between the grow pipes (518.0 ± 81.4), gravel (515.1 ± 133.0), and raft components (493.7 ± 124.8; grow pipes = raft = gravel). Basil in the grow-pipe subsystems developed rapid root growth and clogged the pipes with heterogeneous plant growth. Basil production in northern Germany in grow-pipe, raft, and gravel hydro-components is possible by using effluents from intensive C. gariepinus aquaculture without additional fertilizer in the plant grow-out phase. Further research should focus on optimizing grow pipes by maintaining an optimal root–water contact area, as well as on new technologies such as aquaponics (s.l.) gardening.

“…Rana et al (2011) revealed that PO4-P was removed by 58.14-74.83% in aquaponic system. Shete et al (2016); Shete et al (2017) also revealed the high efficiency of nutrient removal in an aquaponic system. The potassium removal significantly varied (P<0.05) among all treatments and the highest value was observed in T2 (41.86%) followed by T1 (26.79%) and T3 (19.75%).…”

A 60 days experiment was conducted for standardization of the stocking density proportions of Koi carp (Cyprinus carpio var. koi): Goldfish (Carassius auratus) along with water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica), and for evaluate the performance of recirculating aquaponic system. Different stocking density ratios of Koi carp: Goldfish (1:1=T1; 1:2=T2; 2:1=T3 with aquaponics and 1:1=C without aquaponics) were tested with three replicates, at an initial total fish density of 0.8 kg/m 3 . Growth of Goldfish was not significant different (P≥0.05) among the treatments. However, the T2 group showed the highest growth for the Koi carp (P<0.05). Significantly higher plant growth (mean plant height 62.98±1.44 cm) was observed for the T2 fish density ratio. Nutrient removal (NO3-N, PO4-P and K) was significantly higher for the T2 density ratio. Thus, Koi carp: Goldfish of 1:2 can be suggested as the optimum stocking density ratio in polyculture aquaponic recirculating system with I. aquatica.
