Aquaponics
Aquaponics is a combination of these two agricultural systems.
What is Aquaculture & Hydroponics?
In hydroponics plants are grown using a nutrient rich water solution and without the use of this substance?
What is soil?
Schools of these are raised in an aquaculture system.
What are fish?
This is the part of the plant that takes in nutrients underwater.
What are the roots?
Aquatic organisms that don't have backbones.
What are invertebrates?
This is the toxic chemical released from fish waste
What is Ammonia?
These replace sunlight in an indoor system.
What are grow lights?
This State university has one of the top five Aquaculture programs in the country. This is also where foodchain gets our fish from.
What is Kentucky State University?
This is the process of a seed growing into a sprout or seedling
What is Germination?
This diet consists of only fish and seafood for protein.
What is Pescatarian
These are the floating structures for plants in an Aquaponics system
What are Rafts?
In FoodChain’s system 6.5-7.2 is the range of this measurement
What is pH?
In aquaculture just like in aquaponics fish waste produces chemicals that are converted into other chemicals by this.
What is bacteria
We grow the" Tropicana" variety of this plant in the foodchain Aquaponics system.
What is Lettuce?
We raise this crustacean in our saltwater system at foodchain.
What is shrimp?
The beneficial bacteria in an Aquaponics system converts ammonia from fish waste into other compounds.
What are nitrates?
Hydroponics and aquaponics are great examples of what type of agriculture that lets you grow food closer to the majority of the people consuming it
Urban Agriculture
This aquatic animal represents the largest sector of aquaculture, accounting for 66% of the market, followed by crustaceans and mollusks.
Fish
Plants go through this process to convert light into useable energy.
What is photosynthesis?
The exotic fish can grow up to six feet long in its natural setting and cleans the tanks with its unique mouth.
What is a Plecco?
On FoodChain’s aquaponics farm our 7,000 gallon, recirculating aquaponics system is this style of aquaponics.
Deep water culture
The nutrient plants receive from fertilizers in hydroponics that is provided by nitrates from fish waste in aquaponics.
Nitrogen
Extensive monoculture of common carp was firstly recorded in the document by FAN Li 2500 years ago (460 BC) in this eastern country.
China
A deficiency of this key chemical element in aquaponics plants can result in yellowing leaves, stunted growth, and reduced yield.
Nitrogen
There are more than 120 different species of this popular fish in Aquaponics systems
What are Tilapia?
