Aquaponics and plant-based consumption : a Nordic perspective : evaluating attitudes towards aquaponics among vegan and vegetarian consumers in Iceland and Sweden
… advanced food production systems in the region. Aquaponics, a method integrating aquaculture and hydroponics, offers a potential solution but raises ethical concerns for vegans who avoid any use of animal products. This study was conducted with 31 survey participants and 13 interview respondents …

Evaluation of Heavy Metals and Metalloid Accumulation in a Small-Scale Aquaponic System and an Effect on Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance
Aquaponics is an environmentally friendly and sustainable technology that holds promise to promote global food production. However, in aquaponics, routine fish feeding, along with the natural phenomena of evaporation and transpiration from the water and plants, could lead to deterioration of water …

Aqua House
… The system that occupies this communal space is aquaponics, defined as the growth of aquatic life (fish) in conjunction with the growth/farming of vegetation. The fish and plants benefit from each other, the fish providing waste nutrient water and the plants filtering that waste out of the water …
