Aquaponics in Indonesia: Bumina and Yumina systems as an integrated farming technique combining vegetables, fruits and fish
Aquaponics is a symbiotic integration of two mature food production disciplines. Aquaculture (the science of fish farming) and hydroponics (the science of growing plants without soil) are combined within a closed recirculating system. This technology describes in detail how to build Bumina and Yumina special aquaponic type systems. Bumina system integrates fruits and fish, and Yumina system integrates vegetables and fish. This technology is most appropriate for freshwater fish and vegetables. The fish species used in Indonesia are tilapia, catfish, gourami, snakehead and eels.
