THE POSSIBILITY OF PRODUCTION OF ECOLOGICALLY PURE PRODUCTS OF PLANT GROWING AND AQUACULTURE IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT
An overview of the application of aquaponic technology for the joint cultivation of fish and plant products. The possibility of producing environmentally friendly crop and aquaculture products under controlled environmental conditions is considered. It was found that when using closed aquaponics systems, the content of nitrogenous compounds in water is less than when growing separately. At the same time, the profitability of production of both fish and plant products increases, and water consumption decreases. Additionally, you can reduce the cost of growing vegetable products using aquaponics technology by using regulated lighting sources based on LEDs. NAC VIM has experience in developing phyto-emitters with variable spectral composition that can be applied in aquaponics technology. Aquaponics can be considered as a promising and environmentally friendly method of growing fish and plants together.
