Aquaponics is the integration of aquaculture and hydroponics in a recirculation system, where aquatic animals like fish, molluscs, crustaceans and aquatic plants are connected with the production of vegetables in a controlled environment, nutrients reach the system through the feeding fish and bacteria transform waste into assimilable nutrients for plants.
Efficient water use is obtained since this is provided according to the losses by evapotranspiration in a controlled manner (Graber and Junge, 2009; Pineda et al., 2014).
A study was conducted in order to determine the effect of aquaponic nutritional treatments in growth and development of Lilium sp “cv. Table dance”.
