- Barramundi: You will find many people growing barramundi during
the spring and winter as they’re more prone to the warm weather. Using
barramundi in your aquaponic system will give you a very clean fresh
taste. They are a very popular choice and are really easy to harvest.
- Catfish: You’ve probably made a practice of buying catfish from
the grocery store or from restaurants but you haven’t had great catfish
until you’ve grown your own organic catfish in your aquaponic system.
There are several types of different catfish available but one of the
most popular types used in aquaponics is the channel catfish. People
like catfish because they grow faster than other species of fish and
give you a great bang for your buck!
- Carp: Carp is one of the most commonly eaten fish throughout the
entire world. The problem with carp is that they’re a little difficult
to get. It’s not recommended that you mix carp in the same fish tank as
your other species of fish as they have a reputation of being noxious in
some respects. But certain species of carp are great for aquaponics and
you’ll definitely see a decent amount of setups that harvest them.
- Jade Perch: Jade perch is notorious in Australia. For health
purposes, the perch is absolutely amazing because it’s packed with omega
3 oils which are great for you. Some people who raise jade perch in
their commercial aquaponics system actually try to make them less oily
for people who would rather not have such an oily fish. They are
omnivores and live in warm water. Jade perch are a great choice for any
aquaponic system.
- Trout: These fish are great for people in cooler areas. They can
grow really fast and convert food very well. You will find trout in many
aquaponic setups because they are perfect for this type of environment.
- Goldfish: Goldfish are very popular amongst commercial aquaponic
users. They can be sold to pet shops for a nice profit and if they breed
you can easily turn them over quickly. It’s definitely nice to have
some goldfish in your aquaponic setup.
- Silver Perch: The silver perch is a very reliable type of fish
that is easy to maintain which makes them great for people just getting
into aquaponics. A great benefit of silver perch is that they can thrive
in almost any temperature so they are seen as a very versatile fish.
They don’t grow as quick as some other species however. It can take
about a year to a year and a half for them to get full size.
- Murray Cod: This is another popular Australian fish that can grow
to be very large. As far as utilizing them in aquaponics and fish
tanks, they are a growing trend. They are very popular in aquaculture
and fish farming and have found their way into many aquaponic systems
recently. They grow very rapidly but you have to make sure you are
feeding them regularly because they have a tendency to eat each other.
So you have to be careful with this species.
- Koi: Koi is a type of carp fish. You may know that they are
extremely popular in Asia and many people make Koi ponds specifically
for this fish. They are great for aquaponics so if you love Koi, you can
definitely incorporate them in your setup.
- Tilapia:This is another very popular type of fish all around the
world. Many restaurants use them and they are very popular amongst
bodybuilders and health enthusiasts.
