In the first step, fish are stocked in higher density to grow up to a size of 0.25–0.50 kg, while in the second step fish are further reared in order to obtain a size of about 1–3 kg. Both steps last about 120–170 days (Table 1 and Figure 7). Nutritional content of the feed is guaranteed (you can exactly know the nutritional level of the feed),.2.

If you are a hobby aquaponic grower, raising food for your family, you will want to raise what you like to eat. If you are using aquaponics in a school or educational setting, you can grow many different crops. Food banks and missions use aquaponics to grow nutrient-rich foods. Commercial growers most often grow tilapia, lettuce and leafy greens.
