Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop a new ecological aquaponics system plant by using biomass effectively. At first, we made the system composed of four filtering materials and plants to remove the nutrients in the water of the aquaculture. As a result, plants could purify the aquaculture water effectively. Moreover we developed another aquaponics system composed of cultivated carps and water convolvulus, and analyzed the system performance. The results showed an increase in a small amount of the nutrients, but the water quality of this system is balanced with a low nutrients concentration. On evaluation of biomass production, the cultivated carps didn't grow up so much because of the low water temperature. We could show that plants were affected by filtering materials to grow up differently.
