Fish produce waste products which are typically stripped out of the water with expensive equipment.
The kind of substances that are filtered out are often the very same substances which farmers strive to introduce to plants. Hydroponics facilities must always introduce these substances because the very nature of the sterile hydroponics environment is devoid of such substances. Both indoor aquaculture and hydroponics operations require heated facilities, in roughly similar temperature ranges. It didn't take long for folks to realize that they could skip a lot of the fancy equipment required in aquaculture, and expensive fertilizers in hydroponics, by letting the fish waste feed the vegetables directly. Thus aquaponics was born.
