ABSTRACT
Aquaponics, despite their name, pose a revolutionary change to the organic agriculture field. The world is facing a number of serious issues of which climate variation, population rise, water scarcity, soil degradation, and food security are among the most significant. Aquaponics, as a closed loop system consisting of hydroponics and aquaculture elements, could contribute to addressing these issues. However, there is a lack of assessable research to sustenance the growth of economically feasible Aquaponics systems. The Aquaponics system aided as a model for an aquatic ecosystem established in nature. Because of the synergetic uptake and release of effluent from fish to plants, periodic monitoring of Aquaponics system is vital. To address this problem, an autonomous control system is needed. This takes the benefits of integrating an autonomous control system for continuous autonomous monitoring and control of a dynamic system. In this paper, opportunities that have the potential to fill the gap between execution and research of commercial Aquaponics systems have been recognized. The analysis shows that Aquaponics is proficient of being an imperative driver for the growth of integrated food production systems. The regions suffering from water scarcity will predominantly benefit from this technology being functioned in a commercial environs. This paper comprehensively surveys the antiquity of Aquaponics, interprets their key aspects and significance, and delivers a contrast of various smart Aquaponics systems.
