Global Aquaponics Market Scope 

Aquaponics is the combination of two words, aquaculture and hydroponics. Aquaculture is the cultivation of aquatic organism in controlled aquatic environment such as fish and hydroponics is method of growing plants without soil, by using mineral nutrient solution in water solvent. Aquaponics is method of raising fish and vegetables in one tank without soil. In aquaponics, plants use ammonia (NH3) excreted by fish as a waste product from protein metabolism is converted to nitrate (NO3 -) by nitrifying bacteria for the growth of plants. Quality of water for the fish is improved by plants; they act as a water filtration system by absorbing nitrogenous and mineral wastes. Fish are the source of nutrients for the plants, they nitrifying the bacteria and convert fish waste products to nutrients for the plants. In aquaculture various fruits and vegetables are grown such as lettuce, broccoli, herbs, tomatoes, beets, cucumber, orange, limes and lemons. Benefits of aquaponics farming are it reduced soil borne diseases, free from harmful pesticides and herbicides, reduces cost of fish waste filtration by conventional method, provides natural fertilizer source from fish waste.
