| description | The main goal of this research was to design aquaponic system with recycled materials that is
environment-friendly as well as design with commercial products to compare vegetable and fish
production between the two systems. Through this research we aim to encourage people to
produce organic and nutritious food by their own instead of buying from market. Auaponic help
to grow 100% organic vegetables that are essential for our health. The system was design in one
of the student residential building on the rooftop to avoid external disturbances to the study. The
data collection of production was done every 7 days interval starting from September –
December, 2016. The fish was feed with commercial floating feed and 5% of their body weight,
3% in the morning and 2% in the evening. The height of five random vegetable was measured
every week from each tub to determine their growth. Likewise, five fishes were caught from
each tank to measure their weight after 7 days. But weight of vegetable and length of the tilapia
was measured once in the beginning and at the end. The result reveals that the growth of both
tilapia and vegetable (Chinese cabbage) has increase during the study period of 90 days. The
mean weight of tilapia was 51.7 to 77.8; length has increased from 4.67 to 33.5cm in the end of
the study period (week0-week4). Similarly, mean height of vegetable from initial to final week
was 54.8 to 76.4cm and weight has increased from 38.83 to 350g. However, there were few
external and internal factors affecting the growth of both tilapia and vegetables that cause slight
alteration in result but the overall result shows significant growth in both tilapia and vegetable
and commercial system has better growth as compared to recycle system. Since, the recycle
system was run manually, whereas commercial was run by automatic pump and filtration. |
