Tilapia Culture in Conjunction with Irrigation and Urban Farming. Final Report

摘要

This study involved 2 experiments. Exp. I was designed to determine the potential use of tilapia culture (Tilapia aurea) incorporated into an integrated irrigation system capable of (1) removing algae and other aquatic plants from the pond water by feeding, and (2) providing some resource recovery through growth and reproduction. Exp. II was conducted to determine the potential use of blue tilapia in urban farming. Facilities included a passive solar greenhouse attached to a renovated residential house, an indoor pond located in the greenhouse for overwintering tilapia, and an outdoor pond for the summer growth.
