“…The optimal stocking density of koi carp (Cyprinus carpio var. koi) was at 1.4 kg/m (Hussain et al 2014), and the best weight gain and yield of Beta vulgaris var. bengalensis (spinach) was found with a water flow rate of 1.5 L/min (Hussain et al 2015).…”

“…It is interesting to note that plant growth and nutrient removal in koi (Cyprinus carpio var. koi) and gold fish (Carassius auratus) production (Hussain et al 2014(Hussain et al , 2015 with Beta vulgaris var. bengalensis (spinach) and water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) increased linearly with a decrease in process water flow between 0.8 L/min and 1.5 L/min.…”

Aquaponics Food Production Systems

Coupled aquaponics is the archetype form of aquaponics. The technical complexity increases with the scale of production and required water treatment, e.g. filtration, UV light for microbial control, automatic controlled feeding, computerization and biosecurity. Upscaling is realized through multiunit systems that allow staggered fish production, parallel cultivation of different plants and application of several hydroponic subsystems. The main task of coupled aquaponics is the purification of aquaculture process water through integration of plants which add economic benefits when selecting suitable species like herbs, medicinal plants or ornamentals. Thus, coupled aquaponics with closed water recirculation systems has a particular role to fulfil. Under fully closed recirculation of nutrient enriched water, the symbiotic community of fish, plants and bacteria can result in higher yields compared with standalone fish production and/or plant cultivation. Fish and plant choices are highly diverse and only limited by water quality parameters, strongly influenced by fish feed, the plant cultivation area and component ratios that are often not ideal. Carps, tilapia and catfish are most commonly used, though more sensitive fish species and crayfish have been applied. Polyponics and additional fertilizers are methods to improve plant quality in the case of growth deficiencies, boosting plant production and increasing total yield. The main advantages of coupled aquaponics are in the most efficient use of resources such as feed for nutrient input, phosphorous, water and energy as well as in an increase of fish welfare. The multivariate system design approach allows H. W. Palm (*) • U. Knaus (*) • S.

“…was found to achieve a nitrate removal rate of up to 90.9% (Lennard & Leonard, ), and spinach ( Beta vulgaris Linn.) was found to achieve nitrate reductions of 57.8%–80.0% (Hussain et al, ). In the T2 and T3 systems, an accumulation of PO 4 3− ‐P was observed over almost the entire trial, whereas PO 4 3− ‐P content decreased over time in the T1 system.…”

“…Low DO concentrations in co‐culture treatments may contribute to this reduction in fish growth. However, Hussain et al () reported that cohabitation with spinach could have a profound positive impact on the growth of Koi carp ( Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus). In addition, Portillo‐Clark et al () reported better growth parameters of shrimp when they were co‐cultured with green feather alga ( Caulerpa sertularioides Gmelin Howe) than when they were cultured alone.…”

An experiment was conducted to determine the growth efficiency of lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn) on nutrient capture in farming systems of yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco Richardson). Three treatments, a control treatment of N. nucifera alone (T1), a treatment of N. nucifera‐P. fulvidraco co‐culture (T2) and a treatment of P. fulvidraco alone (T3), were conducted in triplicate. Except pH, conductivity and chemical oxygen demand (CODMn), most of the water quality parameters were significantly lowered by N. nucifera cultivation. Total nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in the T2 system were 62.2% and 71.6% higher than those in the T1 system respectively; and 31.8% and 59.2% lower than those in the T3 system respectively. The nitrogen and phosphorus release rates were 41.2% and 36.8% in the T2 system, respectively, and 95.6% and 99.1% in the T3 system respectively. 7.31%–21.4% of nitrogen and 3.35%–15.9% of phosphorus were unaccounted. N. nucifera can effectively remove nutrients from water and sediments and may promote the outflow of nutrients. No significant difference in fish or N. nucifera growth performance was observed among the systems. This study indicates that the co‐culture of N. nucifera with P. fulvidraco is an optimal culture system that can increase food production and reduce waste discharge.

“…For appropriate functioning, aquaponic systems require balancing multiple factors, including solution pH (Wongkiew et al, 2017a;Zou et al, 2016), plant and animal density (Buzby and Lin, 2014;Hussain et al, 2014Hussain et al, , 2015, solution flow rates (Hussain et al, 2015;Khater and Ali, 2015;Wongkiew et al, 2017b), economics (Quagrainie et al, 2018;Tokunaga et al, 2015), system configuration (Klemencic and Bulc, 2015;Monsees et al, 2017), and food safety considerations (Elumalai et al, 2017;Pantanella et al, 2015). Several authors have reviewed system types, management, and potential profitability of aquaponic production systems (Blidariu and Grozea, 2011;Lewis et al, 1978;Love et al, 2015).…”

The recent increased market demand for locally grown produce is generating interest in the application of techniques developed for controlled environment agriculture (CEA) to urban agriculture (UA). Controlled environments have great potential to revolutionize urban food systems, as they offer unique opportunities for year-round production, optimizing resource-use efficiency, and for helping to overcome significant challenges associated with the high costs of production in urban settings. For urban growers to benefit from CEA, results from studies evaluating the application of controlled environments for commercial food production should be considered. This review includes a discussion of current and potential applications of CEA for UA, references discussing appropriate methods for selecting and controlling the physical plant production environment, resource management strategies, considerations to improve economic viability, opportunities to address food safety concerns, and the potential social benefits from applying CEA techniques to UA. Author’s viewpoints about the future of CEA for urban food production are presented at the end of this review.
