Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi

My name is Angelo,

just a quick few questions.

1, could sprats or any other smaller fish be used that would be consumed not like gold fish etc?

2, other than fish what else could be used for aquaponic? (shrimp, crabs etc?)

3, finally if i had a home algae farm could the biomass part not the food be used for a aquatic food? on its own or with other foods?

thanks Angelo.

Hi Angelo
Sprats, anchovies or sardines and crab are all salt water species.
Algae is used as a supplement food.
Think freshwater.
Carp, trout or perch are all good choices of edible fish for our climate here in the UK.
My best advice is read all you can.
