 Portmanteau of two cultures
 Aquaculture – raising fish
 Hydroponics – crop production
 Raising fish and vegetables in one
infrastructure

 Fish gives off ammonia
 Nitrosomonas bacteria – digest toxic
ammonia (NH3 or NH4+) and convert to
nitrite (NO2-)
 Nitrobacter species – nitrite to
nitrate (NO3-)
 Bio-balls increase
surface area for
the bacteria to live
