A commercial-scale aquaponic system, developed at the university of the virgin islands (uvi), has been in operation for 7 years. the uvi system, which has produced tilapia and a variety of vegetable crops, serves as a successful design model for the nascent aquaponic industry.. The aquaponic system i will be utilizing is a scaled down version of the university of the virgin islands commercial scale system. it is roughly 1/4th the size of the uvi system, but may be multiplied in accordance with resources and demand.. Aquaponic system design parameters: fish to plant ratios (feeding rate ratios) wilson lennard phd aquaponic fish to plant ratios, or more uvi/rakocy approach and the aquaponic solutions/lennard approach), and a third method which has recently appeared and.
The design of the uvi aquaponic system is shown in figure 1. the water pump, which is located on the left side of the sump, pumps water a short distance to the fish rearing. Uvi aquaponics system design ctsa publication #161 how to build and operate a simple small-to-large scale aquaponics system harry ako, ph.d. college of tropical agriculture and human resources (ctahr).. Scale aquaponics system harry ako, ph.d. college of tropical agriculture and human resources (ctahr) attempted to track plant nutrient uptake in the uvi aquaponic systems operated with and without plants. unfortunately, nutrients accumulated at equal rates in all systems and uptake by plants (2009) system design are about 5 years old.
