Abstract

Conducting aquaculture while achieving the two objectives of maintaining a natural ecosystem and sustainable aquaculture can only be achieved when a production system with minimal ecological impact on the natural environment is used. aquaponics to achieve this goal can reduce the amount of water used in the aquaculture process and improve the recycling rate of abandoned materials and nutrients. This enables the combined production of a variety of fish and vegetables compatible with environmental sustainability. In this study, we aimed to examine the applicability of Aquaponics to contribute to the sustainability and environmental protection of the Korean aquaculture industry. The development direction of aquaponics shows two trends that focus on improving RAS technology and recycling nutrients that produce a mixture of fish and agricultural products. Both trends contributed to environmental sustainability. The potential for future breakthroughs in waste production and removal in feed production can further improve the sustainability of fish and agricultural production in aquaponics. In this study, we have studied the changes in the growth of each species, the number of fish, the number of fishes, and the number of breeding, and it has been shown that various wastes(nutrients) derived from fish are a major component explaining the ecological effects of aquaponics. Based on these results, there was no significant difference in the growth of carp in the aquaponics cultivated in Korea, but the growth of lettuce absorbed the nutrients generated in carp cultivation and increased by more than 15% Respectively. Therefore, we expect to be able to utilize aquaponics industrially using various varieties in Korea.
