The world pioneer and leaders in closed recirculating deep channel systems.  Early work in aquaponics began with research by Barnaby Watten and Robert Busch,  James Rakocy joined the team in 1979 and expanded the Aquaculture Program with the development of research and demonstration systems in aquaponic and biofloc systems.

The world pioneer and leaders in closed recirculating flood and drain (ebb and flow) systems. Bioponics - a term coined to describe our growing system. Bio (from the Greek bios - life, mode of life) combined with hydroponics techniques, but replacing the mineral nutrient salts with natural input of nutrients from a biological source - fish effluent.

This site is available to anyone who is interested in Aquaponics. We have been very successful in building our Aquaponic systems both for research and food production and helping others with systems. We hope that what we have learnt will help you to become interested in an Aquaponic system.

The Integration of fish, Plants and Micro-livestock

At Aquaponics Asia we strive to provide high quality education and information developed especially for the Asia Pacific region. We conduct courses and seminars for people who have an interest in aquaponic technology.
