The use of aquaculture-derived waste products to grow secondary crops – such as used in biofloc systems or aquaponics – can increase profits by more than 20 percent, as some of the leading proponents of this field explain.
Superior Fresh’s aquaponics facilty in Wisconsin is both the world’s largest aquaponics system and “the ultimate IMTA”, according to Dr Steve Summerfelt.
Aquaponics is helping to keep farmers in drought-ravaged parts of Uganda alive, according to Dr Aisha Nalwoga, a fisheries officer with the Water Governance Institute.
Supplying cannabis for medical use in Canada – which is legal for licenced producers – is a competitive business. Based in Hamilton, Ontario, Green Relief Inc uses fish in an innovative aquaponics system to grow its crop and stay ahead of the game.
