  • Smart Aquaponic Farming

    An Intelligent Production System for Aquaponics
    • 1st Edition
    • Daoliang Li
    • English
    Smart Aquaponic Farming: An Intelligent Production System for Aquaponics describes the aquaponics AI factory, an ecologically efficient and sustainable multitrophic production model. While traditional aquaculture systems produce farming waste with environmental and food safety implications, the aquaponics model offers a circular organic production method that recycles and reuses aquatic waste to expand the ecological planting scene. Given recent developments in intelligent sensing, information processing, and agricultural equipment technologies, this book provides a much-needed technical guide for industry scientists and technicians. Written by leading experts in aquaculture biosystems engineering, this book reviews technology assembly, system realization, and industrial development of intelligent aquaponics AI factory models. Early chapters introduce the concept of AI factory infrastructure before exploring recirculating aquaculture systems, hydroponic planting systems, and various control systems to maintain air quality, water quality, and fish nutrition. Concluding chapters discuss AI factory system integration, sustainability evaluation, and global case studies of proof-of-concept systems. Smart Aquaponic Farming provides in-depth conceptual analyses, technical overviews, and case presentations to demonstrate the characteristics, advantages, and significance of industrial scale-up for aquaponics. It bridges the gap in disseminated knowledge on analysis, design, and implementation of aquaponics AI factories, making it an indispensable resource for aquaponics producers, technicians, industry scientists, and academics alike.

    Water Security for Ecosystems: Metrics and Pathways for a Sustainable Future explores the mechanisms to support sustainable management of aquatic resources in the context of rising global water demand, global change, and population growth. By identifying resource consumption indicators such as fishing load capacity and virtual water trade, this book sets a clear framework for assessing the ecological footprint of extractive industries. It then proposes pathways to establish largescale water security via integrated aquatic resource management, water-efficient technologies, and sustainable policy intervention.Written by a renowned team of water resource managers, early chapters in this book define ecological footprints and explore the global policies, industries, and climate forces driving water insecurity. Central chapters explore novel and innovative water conservation techniques, advances in water resource management, and emerging technologies for sustainable water use. Final chapters explore global water policies and the role of international cooperation and propose a roadmap for minimizing aquatic ecological footprints.Water Security for Ecosystems acknowledges the increased strain placed on global aquatic ecosystems due to unsustainable water use, extractive fisheries and agricultural practices, pollution, and inefficient governance. Addressing these challenges will necessitate a multidisciplinary approach centered on sustainable water management, strengthened transboundary water governance, responsible consumption policies, and global investment to reduce our aquatic ecological footprint. By integrating science, policy, and community engagement in multidisciplinary management recommendations, this book positions itself as an essential resource for water resource managers, researchers, and policymakers alike.
