Hydraulics: What size of pump is needed to maintain optimal flow rate?
System Design: What are the optimal ratios between fish tank volume and growth area volume? What is the optimal drop in water level between components to utilize a gravity-based system?
The Marquette University College of Engineering is building a laboratory to conduct aquaponics research. Lessons learned from this research will aid the development of aquaponics in temperate climates but also possibly in tropical regions.
