indicate that onshore fish farms may become more predominant in the years to come, Purvis (2003). Aquaponic systems are in a broad range of forms, stretching from fish tanks that are set below vegetable beds filled with gravel, which also serve as bio-filters with the fish tank water being pumped to the grow bed; to a system that is highly sophisticated incorporating of several fish tanks, anaerobic an aerobic bio-filters, aeration systems for both fish
