“…In fact, aquaponics is a growing commercial and scientific technology which uses aquaculture effluent to grow plants and fish, offering a solution to several sustainability issues, such as limited water availability, environmental pollution, increasing fertilizer cost and depletion of fertile soils (CALONE, & ORSINI, 2022). Some authors (DANNER et al, 2019;KÖNIG et al, 2018;KRASTANOVA et al, 2022;MAO et al, 2023) give a broad perspective on the aquaponics technology and conclude that these systems can be sustainably managed only with a thorough knowledge of plant components and types. Usually, leafy vegetables have been the preferred crop to grow in aquaponic systems, as they grow well in nitrogen concentrated water, have a short growing period, do not have high nutrient requirements and there is generally a high demand for them globally (DANNER et al, 2019).…”
