A recent study related to aquaponics has shown that hydroponic lettuce grown in aquaculture-derived supplemented water grew significantly better than lettuce grown in a conventional hydroponic system. The principal objective of this study was to verify this finding in a larger setup. Even though the aquaculture water that was added to the aquaculture-based hydroponic system contained relatively high amounts of sodium, we were still able to observe an enhanced growth performance of the lettuce in that system compared to the lettuce grown in the conventional hydroponic nutrient solution. The lettuce final fresh weight was 7.9%, and its final dry weight even 33.2% higher than the one of the hydroponic control.

常规和基于RAS的水耕系统中紫苜蓿生长性能的比较。

一项与水培法相关的最新研究表明，在水产养殖补充水中生长的水培生菜的生长显着优于传统水培系统中生长的生菜。这项研究的主要目的是在更大的范围内验证这一发现。即使添加到基于水产养殖的水培系统中的水产养殖水中包含相对较高的钠含量，与传统水培营养液中种植的生菜相比，我们仍然能够观察到该生菜在该系统中的生长性能得到提高。生菜的最终鲜重为7.9％，其最终干重甚至比水培对照组高33.2％。
