“…In this article we would like to illustrate this complexity by using the example of aquaponics as a rapidly emerging technology that integrates recirculating aquaculture with hydroponics (production of plants in nutrient solution, without soil) (Rakocy et al, 2004) (McMurtry et al 1990; Lennard and Leonard 2006;Pilinszky et al 2015;Palm et al 2015) having its origins back in the 1970's (e.g. Naegel 1977;Sneed et al 1975).…”

-Aquaponics is an evolving closed-system food production technology that integrates recirculating aquaculture with hydroponics. In this paper we give a brief literature overview of the sustainability aspects of aquaponics by discussing its social, environmental, and economic impacts in different potential settings. The technology might be applied to commercial or community based urban food production, industrial scale production in rural areas, small scale farming in developing countries or as systems for education and decoration inside buildings. We conclude that due to the different potential applications and settings for installing the technology, sustainability impacts need to be considered separately and that due the complexity within markets, value chains, communities, urban and rural infrastructure and policy settings, further research and data acquisition is needed to be able to assess all sustainability aspects.

“…Aquaponics is an emerging food production technology that integrates aquaculture and hydroponics (Pilinszky et al, 2015;Junge et al, 2017). Aquaponic systems consist of a fish tank and a hydroponic component, in which plants are grown using the wastes produced by the fish as the nutrient source.…”

-This paper calls the attention to the important role the microelement nickel plays is the decomposition of urea (produced by the fish as waste), and thus to its potential role in aquaponic systems. Since nickel is not included in the list of micronutrients essential to fish growth and development, fish feeds probably do not contain sufficient amounts of it. Therefore, trace amounts of soluble salts or complexes of nickel probably need to be added to aquaponic systems in order to achieve the systems' stable operation.

“…The end products are plant crop and fish, with significantly less waste generated as compared to separated RAS and HP systems. There are many advantages of aquaponics as compared to traditional methods: for example, food produced in aquaponic systems is certainly pesticide-free, since there are no chemical control methods yet developed for this technology (Pilinszky et al, 2015). As a matter of fact, the first example of a case study of the integrated pest management in an aquaponic system has been only recently presented at the International Plant Protection Congress .…”

“…The primary function of the latter is to detoxify ammonium (excreted by the fish) by converting in to the much less toxic nitrate, with the help of nitrifying bacteria (Pilinszky et al, 2015).…”
