Alternative Fish Feeds in Aquaponics
Feed is at the heart of every aquaponics system. It drives fish health, powers bacterial conversion, and ultimately determines the nutrients available to plants. Commercial feeds often get the job done, but they rely heavily on fishmeal made from wild-caught species—an option that’s costly, unsustainable, and limited. In this course, we’ll explore smarter, more sustainable options for feeding your fish. You’ll learn about: - Why feed is such a critical factor in aquaponics - The downsides of relying solely on commercial pellets - Practical alternatives that can reduce costs and environmental impact - How feed choices ripple through your system to affect both fish and plants By the end, you’ll be equipped with knowledge and strategies to make feed a strength—not a weakness—in your aquaponics setup. 🌱🐟 👉 Start the course now in the Classroom tab!
