This summer, twenty little Blue Nile Tilapia were hand delivered to my door. I had given up all hopes of finding a supplier in Canada, and was thrilled when I found one near my home. The fish spent their summer growing out in the greenhouse where our first aquaponic system was made. Once the cooler temperatures of September came around, we relocated them inside to a 100-gallon stock tank (giant water bowls for cows and horses).

A few, like the proposed Urban Aquaculture Center and Friendly Aquaponics' farm in Hawaii , have been commercial-scale operations.

A recent Treehugger article alerted me to the fact that the folks at Growing Power are involved in what sounds to be a very exciting new proposed project in Milwaukee, called The Urban Agriculture Center. The planned center will apparently feature a 150,000-sq ft indoor aquaculture/agriculture facility combined with educational facilities, sustainable farming exhibits, a restaurant and fish market. As the author of the Treehugger article points out, the Urban Agriculture Center website is somewhat confusing, so it is quite challenging trying to find pertinent information regarding the status of the project.

Aquaponics is the symbiotic cultivation of plants and aquatic animals in a recirculating environment. ECOLIFE has installed an aquaponics system at our San Diego office with the specific goals of preparing a manual and techniques for managing an aquaponics system, teaching aquaponic workshops to the San Diego community as a sustainable living solution, and developing a system for use abroad that will provide an alternative food source for communities in Bwindi, Uganda. Water is cycled between the fish tanks and vegetable growing areas, and fish waste acts as a natural fertilizer for the crops.
