There are four types of aquaculture: Floating cages are made of netting supported by a buoyant collar or a stable frame. These cages are built with a rigid frame and because they are submersible, they can be moved up and down in the water column to take advantage of water conditions. These cages are the least common and are permanently kept under the water. They consist of a frame with slats for openings and are anchored to the substrate in flowing water

** Aquaponics **

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: text1;">The <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-themecolor: text1;"> a quaponics system also knows as a bio-integrated food production system. It is a form of sustainable food production and consists in the cultivation of plants and aquatic animals in the same environment. It is the <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: text1;">union of hydroponics with aquaculture forming a polyculture system.

The version of aquaponic for this old civilization was name chinampas and consisted in the construction of little artificial islands and put them in lakes and swamps where they produce crops like corn and in the swamps or lake they always reap fish.

//__<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-themecolor: text1;">AQUAPONIC SYSTEM __// <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The aquaponic is a very good alternative system of production that can be integrated in closed circulation systems aquaculture and hydroponic.

The practice of aquaponic constitutes a viable alternative for cost reduction and diversification of production of aquaculture and hydroponic units.

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; mso-themecolor: text1;">Aquaponics use the rich water of the aquaculture system to fertigate plants that used to be vegetables. The system is closed, the water of the fish are flowing through the hydroponic culture, and this is returned to the fish tanks.

It’s important mention that not all the substance in the water of the fish tanks are good for plants to could reuse the nutrients that of the decomposing fish feed. That’s why its necessary a biofilter that strip off ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, and phosphorus. the beds of the plants form of inert, organic, and mixed media contained in bag, trough, trench, pipe, or bench setups and this work as a very good biofilter.

This particular symbiosis brings benefits to both systems. The system has been a lot of success because plant roots remove substances that could be toxic for fish in the fish tanks, but plants take advantage of this substance because using it like nutrients that help the plant to grow up. <span style="display: block; font-size: 14pt; color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; text-align: center; msothemecolor: text1;">

The system can adapt to almost any freshwater fish of medium size, although its preferable use animal that are adapted to recirculating aquaculture systems. However the type of aquatic animal depend more of the weather of the location where you will have the production, the kind of water and the type of market you will offer.

To our weather the most common fish use in the aquaculture and quaponics systems it’s the tilapia fish because they are well known in this region, have market, are tolerate to very high population densities, it’s easy to control it in tanks, tolerant of low oxygen levels for extended time, tolerant of fluctuating water conditions such as pH, temperature, oxygen, and dissolved solids.

There are new types of market that aquaponic can help like the demand of ornamental tanks fish and in aquarium fish markets.
