Aquaponics is a sustainable food production system that combines aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (growing plants in water, without soil) into an integrated system. In this system, the waste produced by the fish, ammonia, and undigested feed are converted by bacteria into nitrites and nitrates, which are absorbed by plants as fertilizer. This absorption by plants acts as a filtration/purification of the water, removing nitrogenous compounds harmful to fish, making
