Abstract Research and practice during the last 20 years has shown that urban agriculture can contribute to minimising effects of climate change by, at same time, improving quality life in areas. In order do so most effectively, land use spatial planning are crucial as obtain maintain a supportive green infrastructure secure citizens' healthy living conditions. As people today trend more towards sustainable city centres offer fresh locally produced food, cities become again places for growing...
Studies on chronic or acute toxicity of nitrogen species fish in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) usually focused adverse effects total ammonia (TAN: sum NH3 + NH4+) and nitrite (), while underestimating the potential high nitrate accumulation growth health status fish. In our study, Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) were exposed to five different concentrations (0, 10, 100, 500 1000 mg L−1 -N) over 30 days. Growth parameters (feed conversion ratio (FCR), specific rate (SGR),...
The utilisation of insect meal-based fish feed as a substitute for conventional is considered promising innovative alternative to boost circularity in aquaculture and aquaponics. Basic research on its use aquaponics limited. So far, no reports the effects waste water, derived from recirculating system using Black Soldier Fly (BSF) diets, were available growth performance lettuce. Therefore, this study aimed compare effect reusing water tilapia culture (as base nutrient solution) fed with...
In classical aquaponics (coupled aquaponic systems, 1-loop systems) the production of fish in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) and plants hydroponics are combined a single loop, entailing systemic compromises on optimal parameters (e.g. pH). Recently presented decoupled (2-loop have been awarded for eliminating major bottlenecks. pilot study, an innovative system was compared with coupled and, as control, conventional RAS, assessing growth (FCR, SGR) over experimental period 5 months....

Decoupled aquaponic systems have the potential to become one of most effective sustainable production for combined animal protein and plant crops. Here, recirculating aquaculture fish are with hydroponics soilless thereby recycling dissolved nutrients derived from metabolism fish. The aim present study was characterize hydroponic lettuce using conventional nutrient solution in comparison decoupled aquaponics rich water as basis being supplemented by missing nutrients. In addition, treatment...
Fresh vegetables available on Northern European markets usually originate from a high number of sources. Environmental impacts for these goods typically arise the resources used in production and long-distance transport air-conditioned trucks. As such, environmental are mainly attributed to direct energy consumption, water use nutrient supply. The aim this paper was therefore investigate evaluate possible solutions reduce urban Europe. We hypothesise that lettuce tomatoes Europe, 4-step...
This case study examined the productivity and economic performance of a double recirculation aquaponic system in Germany with total interior area about 540 m2. Calculations were carried out as an ex post analysis based on one-year production data. The initial situation was not profitable; therefore, two scenarios developed, which envisaged significantly improved fish well plant unit more than threefold enlargement greenhouse to make maximum use effluent. An ante performed showed that second...
Aquaponics, the water-reusing production of fish and crops, is taken as an example to investigate consequences upscaling a nature-based solution in circular city. We developed upscaled-aquaponic scenario for German metropolis Berlin, analysed impacts, studied system dynamics. To meet annual fish, tomato, lettuce demand Berlin’s 3.77 million residents would require approximately 370 aquaponic facilities covering total area 224 hectares use different combinations crops: catfish/tomato (56%),...
Aquaponics, a circular agri-aquaculture system, offers the potential to enhance food production resilience across diverse environmental contexts. Plant physiological processes that regulate water and nutrient fluxes in decoupled aquaponics are responsive dynamics such as stomatal behaviour. In greenhouses, these largely driven by changes natural solar radiation. This research investigates plant of lettuce traits various light conditions fully climate-controlled environment mimicking...
