Aquaponics combines hydroponics and aquaculture to grow plants and fish together. The study evaluated the growth performance of comet goldfish and coriander (leafy and water plants) in a recirculating aquaponics system under controlled temperature, light, and fish waste conditions. The system used 30 % protein pelleted feed for fish, an automated feeder, water‑quality filters, temperature and water‑level set points, and an Arduino controller that processed sensor data and commanded actuators to maintain optimal conditions.
Aquaponics refers to the integration of hydroponics with aquaculture. The growth performance of comet goldfish against a plant of coriander, types of leafy vegetable and water plant were evaluated in recirculation of this aquaponics system towards temperature, light and fish waste effectively. The fish were feed with commercial pelleted feeds containing 30% crude protein which can provide almost all nutrients required for the plant growth. Auto feeder place major role in this system used to maintain the growth and survival rates. Filter systems used to remove the amount of waste materials and breakdown products from the water. The set point will be the desired water level, the monitored temperature in fish tank, the monitored temperature at plant area and the desired amount of food. While Arduino function as a brain that used to receive the information from the sensor and come out with an instruction in term of response as the feedback. Then the action will be based on the actuator that was reacted towards the act received.
