Aquaponics is showing promising signs of being a way to go to make farm fish less polluting. By combining farming of fish with farming of vegetables, the waste from fish production can become nutrients for vegetables. On the other hand the vegetables and their soil can provide filtering of "dirty" water from the fish production and in return bring clean water to the fish farming. This seem like a positive cycle and a win-win concept. What are the recommended articles that can elaborate the basic advantages of aquaponics and do we have examples of economically sustainable projects?
