The term aquaponics is A portmanteau of the terms aquaculture and hydroponic agriculture. Aquaponic greenhouse in Apaga Aquaponics () refers to a food production system that couples aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as fish, crayfish, snails or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) whereby the nutrient rich aquaculture water is fed to hydroponic grown plant, involving nitrifying bacteria for converting ammonia into nitrates. As existing hydroponic and aquaculture farming techniques form the basis for all aquaponic systems, the size, complexity, and types of foods grown in an aquaponic system can vary as much as any system found in either distinct farming discipline.[1]

Web extra: Introduction to Home Aquaponics Clyde Tamaru stands on a small rise, dense trees and the verdant Windward face of the Koʻolau range behind.
He looks across a grassy area dotted with round water tanks of various construction, rows of raised plant beds, a small garden shed and, off to the right, a taro loi, all part of an aquaponics research and demonstration facility tucked at the back of Windward Community College. “This is our ahupuaʻa,” the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources extension specialist says with evident pleasure. The Hawaiian mountain-to-sea land division—and the sustainable ecosystem of food resources that it represents—is modeled here in an area perhaps half the size of a football field.
