Cover Story: A pilot large-scale aquaponic system operating in a coupled (CAP) or decoupled (DCAP) mode was developed and evaluated. The results were compared with those obtained in a conventional hydroponic system (HP). The work assessed the water and nutrient flows in four different crops: basil, parsley, cucumber and tomato, which were all co-cultivated with a tilapia aquaculture system. Only the leafy plants managed to absorb the essential nutrients via the CAP system. The fruit-bearing vegetables performed poorly in terms of nutrient absorption. The average nutrient use efficiency for nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, and calcium was found to be 42% higher in the CAP treatment case compared to those of the HP and DCAP treatment scenarios. View this paper
