Abstract
Sustainable indoor fish farming is the farming of the new millennium. Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture and hydroponic systems whereby nutrient-rich wastewater from the aquaculture system is directed into the hydroponic system. The trends of the new millennium in environmental regulation, are limiting the amount of water that may be consumed or discharged. In aquaponics, aquaculture wastewater is filtered and recirculated into the system. Aquaponics presents an opportunity to rethink indoor fish farming, to bring in more money at the farm gate. Two profit centers for producers: fish and plants. The sale of additional greenhouse products generates income that supports the local economy. The aquaponics systems focused on increasing economically and sustainability of indoor and outdoor fish farming. Aspects like sustainability, development, and economic efficiency improve farmer health we must reconsider the agriculture sciences, by this, we understand that we must develop technologies friendly to the environment. Combining aquaculture with hydroponics we obtain an innovation named aquaponics which respects principles of sustainable agriculture (wastewater biofiltration by plants) and gives us the possibility to increase economic efficiency with additional production (organic vegetables) to produce nutrient-rich food.
