This technical paper showcases current wisdom in aquaponics, focusing on small-scale
production. The publication is divided into nine chapters and nine appendixes, with
each chapter dedicated to a specific facet of an aquaponic system. The target audience
is agriculture extension agents, aquaculture officers, non-governmental organizations,
community organizers, companies and individuals – worldwide. The intention is to
bring a general understanding of aquaponics to people who previously may have only
known about one aspect, i.e. aquaculture agents without experience in hydroponics, and
vice versa.
