Case studies varying amounts of Aquaponics experience. Most are very new to this wonderful technology. When we first started out in late 2008, we were also new to Aquaponics and had to learn. Fortunately, we had lots of help on Murray Hallam's Australian forum from those more experienced folks; and, of course, Murray himself, who was a great mentor. To germinate seeds that will go into a soilless aquaponic system, most growers will place the seeds in an inert growing medium, such as rockwool or perlite. Other materials that are used include peat moss, a peat moss and vermiculite mix, and coconut coir, which is the shredded husk of coconuts. Ideal mediums are chemically inert, Aquaponics is a bio-integrated food system which allows for the production of both plants and animals for consumption without requiring arable land. Aquaponics can be defined as the integration of hydroponics - growing without soil - and aquaculture - fish farming. Plants situated on water beds are grown with aquatic life, usually fish. aquaponic system, treating and mineralising those separated solids away from the main aquaponic system and then returning the mineralised supernatant to the main aquaponic system. 2. Using media beds to perform filtration that keeps the solids within the main aquaponic system and relying on these media beds to mineralise the solids so Course Objectives This course will: 1. Emphasize the various issues pertaining to aquaponics. 2. Familiarize students with scientific literacy related to aquaponics. 3. Discuss the different types of aquaponics systems and their components. 4.
