Heyy all!! I am infatuated with this aquaponics trickory, for those not in the know aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture and hydroponics. A triangle of fish farming, crop production and bacteria. The fish waste feeds the plants, some of the plants feed the fish and the bacteria cleans the water in aclosed loop system. I believe that the idea was first used by the egyptians but more recently has been experimented with the space programme. What is the point I hear u cry, well we as top of the food chain benefit from the sale or consumption of fresh veggies nd fishies! The system is totally substainable apart from a pump or two
The rest of the free world {slaves to the banking system i mean} seem to be running away with this green eco system. Some of you enjoy warmer climates than me so helping you farm more efficently. The biggest benifit of this is the nile tilapia, it grows rapidly at 27c reaching 500 to 750grammes in 6 months. I have about three month of the year above the high teens if lucky. This gives you lucky farmers a bi yearly cash crop of tasty white fish. What I am looking for is a way to farm a fish like the tilapia in cloudy South Wales UK. The blue tilapia will do just as well as the nile but still needs to be kept above 22c.
I was thinking of using a pig methane collector and using this methane to fire a boiler as to warm the water. half the chinese population cook in this way so it cant be that hard. Now im running out of space in this overpopulated country. So no space for pigs or the extra cash to keep them.
What the whole point of this post is ''does anyone know of a coldish freshwater fish that I can farm for the greater good of mankind'' A fish that will grow rapidly taste lovely and also give off enough nitrogen to feed all my vegtables? Its a long shot I know but were talkin self sufficent feeding projects. I am thinking of the local trout but they grow slowly and this makes substaining this endevour ever more difficult! Thanks for reading, all imput appreciated!!!:duh:
