Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Ah, fish stocking density. There are several things that need to be considered.

With media beds you can get a good idea of the maximum stocking capacity from this thread - http://www.backyardaquaponics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=6646

You can also get an idea of what works from the FAO document mentioned below.

For Raft beds using low density you'll find the information in the FAO's Small Scale Aquaponics Food Production PDF file on page 71 - You can find the PDF for download here - http://www.fao.org/in-action/globefish/publications/details-publication/en/c/338354/

Hi Niels,
I'm also in Belgium (but almost other side), and at the verge of starting an aquaponic system. So it seems starting in winter is not necessarily stupid ...

Can you share what your rexperiences were in 2019 ? Did you manage to grow something.

Best regards,
Christophe.
