Abstract
The article presents the results of experiments on the use of the aquaponics method. In the conditions of LLC “Albashi”, Krasnodar Territory, experimental germination of wheat grain by the aquaponics method was used to obtain aquaponic feed for herbivorous fish grown in polyculture (carp, carp, grass carp, grass carp, silver carp). In such an aquaponic device, you can not only grow plants, but also germinate seeds before planting in the ground. The water is saturated with oxygen due to the continuous drainage (3.5% higher than in a pool without an aquapon device), which is a positive moment for fish growth and energy savings to reduce the duration of the oxygen generator. In addition, the use of an aquapon device provides favorable conditions for growing plants and fish with a significant reduction in the cost of installation of the structure and the cost of its maintenance. An increase in the germination rate of wheat grain, when germinating in an aquaponic plant, by 2.0%, the length of the shoots during germination, by 27.5%, the length of the roots by 32.2%, the content of crude protein by 2.2%, vitamin B2 - by 6.1% and carotene - by 4.6%. The safety indicators for hydroponic feed were below the MPC. The results of this study for the production of hydroponic feed for herbivorous fish directly in the fish farm show that for the production of a valuable fortified plant-based environmentally friendly feed, it is advisable to use the aquaponic method using water saturated with nutrients.
