Effect of flow rate on water quality parameters and plant growth of water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) in an aquaponic flow through system

Flow-through aquaculture system (FTAS) are system where fish are held in ponds, tanks, raceways or other specially designed apparatus which have water constantly passing through them. These systems can be used to grow either fresh or marine species.The flow of water through the culture system suppl...
