Book excerpt: Would You Like To Learn How To Grow A Clean And Steady Source of Vitamins, Minerals And Fiber In 48 Hours? Welcome to the wonderful world of aquaponics. Aquaponics is a method of cultivating freshwater fish, organic vegetables, and even organic fruits in just one closed system. Unlike traditional aquaculture, aquaponics does not require continual drainage and water replacement because a biological filter helps maintain the clarity of the water. "The Wonderful World of Aquaponics" has been written in simple, easy-to-understand, layman's term. With this book you will learn everything there is to know about aquaponics. You will know how this amazing self-sufficient system works, how to design your own aquaponic system, what supplyies you need, what type of fish to use, how to produce organic and healthy produce with aquaponics, and step by step instructions on how to set up your aquaponic system in your backyard. Here are just some of the things covered in "The Wonderful World of Aquaponics": - How to create you very own aquaponic system at home... - 3 little known, yet simple facts about the technology of aquaponics... - Exactly how a solar pond works... - 2 simple keys (that are right in front of your eyes) to use plastic containers in an aquaponic system... - WARNING: 3 things you should never do when it creating an aquaponic system... - You'll discover in just a few short minutes the all about the various aquaponic systems... - How to choose and care for the plants in your aquaponic system... - 6 time tested and proven strategies to keeping your aquaponic system in balance... - 7 everyday but often overlooked tips and tricks for picking and caring for the fish in your aquaponic system... - A pennies on the dollar approach to creating your own aquaponic system... - How to care for your system on a daily basis... - A troubleshooting guide in case you run into trouble with your aquaponics system... - An FAQ chapter answering most common questions you may have about aquaponics... - And much more...

Book Synopsis Small-scale Aquaponic Food Production by : Christopher Somerville
Download or read book Small-scale Aquaponic Food Production written by Christopher Somerville. This book was released on 2015. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This technical paper begins by introducing the concept of aquaponics, including a brief history of its development and its place within the larger category of soil-less culture and modern agriculture. It discusses the main theoretical concepts of aquaponics, including the nitrogen cycle and the nitrification process, the role of bacteria, and the concept of balancing an aquaponic unit. It then moves on to cover important considerations of water quality parameters, water testing, and water sourcing for aquaponics, as well as methods and theories of unit design, including the three main methods of aquaponic systems: media beds, nutrient film technique, and deep water culture. The publication discusses in detail the three groups of living organisms (bacteria, plants and fish) that make up the aquaponic ecosystem. It also presents management strategies and troubleshooting practices, as well as related topics, specifically highlighting local and sustainable sources of aquaponic inputs. The publication also includes nine appendixes that present other key topics: ideal conditions for common plants grown in aquaponics; chemical and biological controls of common pests and diseases including a compatible planting guide; common fish diseases and related symptoms, causes and remedies; tools to calculate the ammonia produced and biofiltration media required for a certain fish stocking density and amount of fish feed added; production of homemade fish feed; guidelines and considerations for establishing aquaponic units; a cost-benefit analysis of a small-scale, media bed aquaponic unit; a comprehensive guide to building small-scale versions of each of the three aquaponic methods; and a brief summary of this publication designed as a supplemental handout for outreach, extension and education.
