Aquaculture is the cultivation of aquatic organisms like fish, shellfish, and plants. Aquaculture can take place in both natural and manmade settings, such as ponds, tanks, cages, or greenhouses.
Greenhouses are structures that offer aquaculture production with controlled environmental conditions like as temperature, light, humidity, and ventilation. Aquaculture crops can also be protected by greenhouses from pests, illnesses, and extreme weather occurrences.
Greenhouse covering materials are the components that make up the greenhouse structure’s outer layer. They have a substantial impact on the greenhouse system’s performance and sustainability.
High light transmission, low heat conductivity, durability, resistance to UV radiation, fire, and chemicals, and low environmental impact should all be characteristics of greenhouse covering materials.
Some of the common greenhouse covering materials used for aquaculture are: Plastic films are thin sheets of synthetic polymer that are flexible and simple to apply. Plastic films can be translucent or coloured, and they can contain various chemicals to improve their qualities.
Plastic films are relatively inexpensive and generally accessible, but they have a short lifespan (2-5 years) and are susceptible to degradation due to UV radiation, heat, and mechanical stress. Plastic films can also produce waste and emit greenhouse gases during their manufacture and disposal.
Acrylic sheets are rigid clear plastic panels that are stronger and more durable than plastic films. Acrylic sheets offer higher light transmission and lower thermal conductivity than plastic films, but they are also more expensive and heavier. Acrylic sheets can peel and shatter, and its transparency can fade over time due to UV exposure.
Glass panels are the conventional greenhouse covering material because they provide great light transmission, durability, and attractiveness. Glass panels have a long lifespan (20-30 years) and can be recycled when they are no longer needed.
Glass panels, on the other hand, are incredibly heavy, delicate, and expensive. Glass panels have a high thermal conductivity, which means they can readily lose heat in cold areas and acquire heat in hot climates.
The type of aquaculture crop, climatic circumstances, economic feasibility, and environmental impact all influence greenhouse covering material selection. distinct materials may have distinct benefits and drawbacks for various aquaculture systems. As a result, it is critical to assess each material’s compatibility for a specific aquaculture greenhouse project.
The Global Aquaculture greenhouse material market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Gothic Arch Greenhouses offer The Aquaponic System combines fish culture and true hydroponic plant production into one integrated ecosystem. Easy to set up and maintain, the Aquaponic System can provide you with fresh fish and produce from a clean and healthy environment year-round.
It operates so well because the fish are providing the nutrients for the plants, and the plants clean up the water to make it a better place for the fish to live in. This mutually beneficial arrangement is the same as what goes on in nature, but this one is completely within your control.
It’s an ideal way to get started in aquaculture and hydroponics! Growing a fish like tilapia (also known as “Saint Peter’s fish,” “cherry snapper,” “silverbacks,” etc.) is easy and you can grow up to 80 lbs.
in the Aquaponic System. An optional window in the tank makes learning fun because students can make observations as the fish interact with each other and their environment.
The 4’ x 8’ hydroponic growing bed is terrific for a kitchen herb cutting garden, dozens of heads of lettuce or other salad greens. Imagine, fresh herbs and salads from your very own hydroponic garden! In the classroom, there’s ample space for individual student projects that simply makes learning fun and exciting.
Our instruction manual shows you how easy it is to grow with us! The Aquaponic System is made with durable, professional quality materials that are fully warranted.
It comes complete and ready to set up with a 200 gallon fish tank, 4’ x 8’ hydroponic growing bed, an energy efficient, UL-listed air pump and hydroponic media. Optional equipment is available.
The Aquaponic System package’s convenient size fits right through a standard doorway. Fresh veggies and fish year-round — Aquaponic System is ready now so order yours today!
