Tracking Fish Health to Boost System Health & Profitability in Aquaponics
Aquaponic systems require growers to track fish, plant, and system data. These components work together and depend upon each other to form a successful aquaponic operation. Specific factors within monitoring fish to track are weights and lengths. Tracking these averages of a fish class is important because measurements are an indicator of fish and system wellbeing. Other reasons for tracking these measurements include health indications, known growth rates, and business planning.

Proper monitoring and data collection strategies are imperative to running a successful aquaponic operation. Maintaining records is paramount to understanding trends within your systems and potential preventative measures you can take to avoid die-offs. As a social-impact agriculture technology business we are excited about powering and liberating the heroes of next-gen aquaponic food production with technology. We’re growers ourselves, so we know it can be hard to keep track of all the data from your sensors, paper notes and the minds of your teammates ;).

Aquaculture, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, is the “breeding, rearing, and harvesting of fish, shellfish, algae, and other organisms in all types of water environments”. Aquaponics, a subset of aquaculture, is where fish and plants are grown together using recirculating water. Maintaining fish health is imperative to running a successful aquaponic operation. According to Ruth Francis-Floyd from the University of Florida, “fish health management is a term used in aquaculture to describe management practices which are designed to prevent fish disease.

These lettuce seedlings sitting in front of me took three years to grow. Well in truth, they are two weeks old, but in reality, to build the farm in which they now grow took what seems a lifetime to get off the ground. The first seed was sown a long time ago when a colleague and I were making a film about the sustainability programs at Santa Fe Community College’s School of Trades, Advanced Technologies and Sustainability in Santa Fe, NM.

Kentucky State University (KYSU or KSU) is a historically black college and university founded in 1886 in Frankfort, Kentucky. In 1890 KYSU became a land-grant university and has continued to grow into an outstanding school and home to one of the best freshwater aquaculture programs in the country. I remember the first time I came to KYSU, I was studying at Berea College, an hour south of KYSU when I had the opportunity to attend an aquaponic workshop hosted by KYSU.
