“…The benefits of aquaponic food production systems are not limited to the economic (Bich et al., 2020; Greenfeld et al., 2019) and environmental (Bohnes et al., 2018; Ghamkhar, Hartleb et al., 2020; Jaeger et al., 2019) dimensions. The social outcomes of local aquaponic food production could be profound, following the concepts of industrial ecology in food production (Kendall & Spang, 2020; Niutanen & Korhonen, 2003).…”

“…With respect to the economic sustainability of aquaponics, the body of literature is relatively limited with few successful commercial examples (Bich et al, 2020;Greenfeld et al, 2019;Love et al, 2014;Quagrainie et al, 2018). Chaves et al (1999) compared the economic profitability of coupled catfish and tomato production in an aquaponic system with catfish production in a similar recirculating aquaculture system and found that there is little difference in financial results at the margins budgeted (rate of return = 27.32%).…”

Aquaponics, in which fish and plants are grown in a symbiotic closed-loop industrial metabolism, are promising test beds to implement industrial ecology in food production at a commercial scale. These systems have the potential to enhance the environmental and economic performance of aquaculture systems by reducing the overall burden on natural ecosystems (i.e., reducing resource and emission-based impacts per unit of food produced). To holistically evaluate the environmental and economic implications of aquaponics, specifically in a cold-weather climate, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Economic Analysis (EA) were performed on a Midwestern United States aquaponic system, using data from 3 years of annual operation cycles with varying fish species production; tilapia, conventional walleye, and hybrid walleye. For the LCA, environmental impacts were quantified using 10 midpoint indicators. Assessments indicated that 1-kg production of live-weight tilapia, conventional walleye, and hybrid walleye resulted in 20.2-13.8-11.7 kg CO 2 -eq, 23.0-7.8-3.9 g N-eq, and 0.2-0.3-0.4 kg SO 2 -eq, consecutively, using the investigated system. The most sensitive parameters for environmental impacts were heat, aquafeed, electricity, and infrastructure (in all scenarios).For EA, benefit to cost ratios (BCRs) and three other widely used indices were analyzed for production cycles. The BCRs were 0.47, 1.16, and 1.75 for tilapia, conventional walleye, and hybrid walleye, respectively (using a 10% discount rate and a 20-year horizon), highlighting the necessity of optimizing both cash inflows (e.g., energy costs) and outflows (plant and fish revenues) to achieve practical enhancement of return on investments. The major cost contributors were infrastructure, labor, and heat (contributing to >89% of total costs for all cycles). Suggested steps for in-effect improvement of the investigated aquaponic system's environmental and economic favorability include heat and infrastructure optimization by (a) applying effective heating strategies (e.g., advanced insulation techniques), and (b) expanding the system's operational lifespan (e.g., prevention of waste accumulation).

“…Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan aspek biologi yang diperoleh menunjukan tingkat produksi yang tinggi. Sehingga dapat dikatakan bahwa Teknologi A-RAS ini dapat dijadikan meningkatkan hasil produksi dalam proses budidaya (Bich et al, 2020;Gibbons, 2020;Hao et al, 2020)…”

Aquaponics-Recirculation Aquaculture System (A-RAS) technology combines recirculation systems in aquaculture with aquaponics technology. A-RAS technology can reduce water use in the aquaculture system and maintain water quality to fulfill aquaculture standards. The application of this system makes pond water that has been used for fish farming can be reused. This research used a descriptive analysis method to analyze A-RAS's application to improve food production through A-RAS in Kaliuntu, Tuban, East Java. This study's results showed that temperature during the study ranged from 27.

“…Hal yang sama juga ditemukan di perairan Rawa Aopa, yakni ikan gabus lebih banyak ditemukan pada stasiun dengan kerapatan tumbuhan air yang tinggi, yaitu 83,0245 ind.m -2 . Selain itu, ikan ini juga memiliki produktivitas dan kelangsungan hidup yang tinggi jika berada pada perairan dengan tumbuhan air dari jenis kangkung (Ipomoea aquatica) daripada tanpa tumbuhan air (Ngoc Bich et al 2020).…”

The use of habitat by fish is closely related to efforts to find the best conditions for the survival of these fish. This study aims to analyze the habitat preferences of Striped snakehead in Rawa Aopa waters, Southeast Sulawesi. This research was conducted from November 2018 to February 2019 in the waters of Swamp Aopa Southeast Sulawesi. Fish collection using traps. The constancy and fidelity index determined the preference of striped snakehead for habitat type. A total of 1024 striped snakehead fish were caught during the study with a length range of 200,0-420,0 mm and 69,0-596,0 g weight. Striped snakehead measuring 200-367 mm were consistent in occupying habitats with a slightly dense to dense water plant density, while sizes 368-388 and 389-430 mm were consistent in habitats with sparse water plant density. The preference level of striped snakehead fish size 389-430 mm to habitats with rare aquatic plants is very high (Fij = 6). Therefore, the size can be used as an indicator of habitats with the rare aquatic plant category. The preference for 200-367 mm striped snakehead fish in dense aquatic plant habitats indicates that these habitats are foraging, growing, and protective zones.
