Lettuce growth in aquaponic system and in soil fertilized with fish sludge

Abstract: The present study compared the productivity and concentration of nutrients in the leaf tissue of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) in two production methods in aquaponics and the production of the same lettuce species in soil, using the sludge from the aquaponics system as a source of fertilization. The experimental setup contained an aquaponics

“…All three CAP treatments exhibited a similarly deteriorated nutritional state compared to all the DCAP and HP plants. The total N content did not seem to act as the major limiting nutrient for crop growth, since it did not differ among treatment until D38 and in all cases fell within the range of concentrations usually found in healthy hydroponically grown lettuce (30-60 mg g −1 ) [29]. Similar values of total N have been reported for hydroponically grown lettuce at a pH between 5.8 and 7 [30].…”

“…Most studies do not address waste streams that stem from aquaponic systems. Also, management alternatives for fish excreta are not addressed; the exceptions are Lenz et al (2021a) and Lenz (2021b), where sludge removed from an aquaponic system was applied to soil to compare vegetable growth in this medium with aquaponic cultivation.…”

“…The experiment reported here set out to test the efficacy of aquaculture effluent as a fertiliser in a Martian simulant and a Martian analogue. The viability of freshwater aquaculture effluent as fertiliser has been demonstrated for a wide variety of food crops grown in terrestrial soils, including wheat (Al-Jaloud et al,, 1993), barley (Hussain and Al-Jaloud, 1998;Stevenson et al, 2010), maize (Abdul-Rahman et al, 2011;Osaigbovo et al, 2010), sorghum (Kolozsvári et al, 2022), soybean (Abdelraouf, 2017), amaranth (Ojobor and Tobih, 2015), potato (Abdelraouf, 2017), common bean (Meso et al, 2014), tomato (Castro et al, 2006;Pattillo et al, 2020), pepper (Omotade et al, 2019;Palada et al, 2019), chicory (Lenz et al, 2021a), cabbage (Elsbaay and Darwesh, 2022), lettuce (Lenz et al, 2021b), radish (Abdul-Rahman et al, 2011, cucumber (Ndubuisi, 2019), onion (Abdelraouf et al, 2016;Abdelraouf, 2017), basil (Omeir et al, 2020), marjoram (Kimera et al, 2021a) and oregano (Kimera et al, 2021b). This paper discusses a small pilot/proof of concept study, to ascertain whether aquaponic fish effluent could be used in sterile regoliths to produce vegetables.…”
