The Acuaponia is the productive activity that combines a production of fish and plants of commercial value in a system of water recirculation (Aquaculture + Hidropona). This system takes advantage of the remainders generated by the fish to nourish to the plants that release the water of these compounds as well doing it available again for the fish. It is for that reason that acuaponia takes advantage of to the maximum the generated water, space and remainders, reason why one becomes a form of viable production for the atmosphere. The general principle of acuaponia is that the remainders produced by the organisms in the culture units, are profiteers by the plants for their growth and therefore, the water is released of diverse solids, which represents an increase in the quality of the water. The nitrates, that are the end items of the biological filtration, represent the nitrogen form more used by the plants.
In acuaponia the amount of nitrogen of the unloading effluents is reduced in other words or, extends the use of the water, which implies also a reduction of the costs of operation by water transport to the system, coverall in zones where the supplying of this resource is a serious problem. This activity increases the yield of the fishery farm since the vegetable production with this system acquires considered a greater commercial value to the being like ” products saludables” (free of chemicals like pesticides, fertilizers, etc.) and extra expenses by fertilization of plants are not had because the nutrients are contained in the water flow that circulates around the system Another advantage of these systems, is that nutrients like ammonium maintain one better quality of the water when eliminating, carbon nitrates, dioxide, among others. The integration of plants and animal is a type of poli culture that increases the diversity and therefore it offers stability to the system. In addition, the plants when using these nutrients and requiring solar energy, avoid the proliferation of the phytoplankton. The design of the system of acuaponia is realised on the basis of the system of recirculation with the addition of hydroponic beds and the possible suppression (or diminution of capacity) of biofliters or of devices of dissolved and fine solid removal.
This suppression of components is feasible if the relation between the area of the plants and the one of the aquatic organisms is the suitable one. ACUAPONIA COMPANY, Acuaponia is a company that comprises of the organization BOFISH and who of equal way shares the philosophy to promote the Farming production of Viable way with the Atmosphere, thus obtaining to produce Healthful foods and of high Quality. Acuaponia focuses in productive systems that have the objectives of eficientizar the use of the resources: Water, Space, Energy and Remainders, through the application of biotechnologies that can be applied to the specific conditions of the site. The company is dedicated to the qualification of the systems related to acuaponia by means of the planning of courses and congresses, as well as the diffusion of this one novel productive activity. ACUAPONIA, offers estor courses like an alternative for the viable development to your hands.
