Aquaculture is where people, food, water, and ecology meet. New Alchemy explored aquaculture as a way to produce food from small-scale, local water sources: fish in cages in wild ponds, in ponds dug in the ground, in solar ponds above the ground, and in-ground ponds in greenhouses.
Today the Green Center is promoting studies of oyster culture in coastal ponds and estuaries as part of regional wastewater treatment.

I’d like to see a diagram of your aquaponics system.

Thanks for your comment, Jeff! We have a few diagrams you might want to check out in our “Solar Aquaculture Primer” — please see here: https://newalchemists.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/solar-aquaculture-primer-by-eab1.pdf
In the meantime, we can put you in touch with one of our aquaculture specialist, who might have some additional resources.

As I am conducting some research regarding aqauculture I would appreciate any assistance, or connection to a resource, especially in the form of graphics. And any additional help in the future after I absorb information would also be very helpful. Any information I receive would, of course, be attributed to your sources.

Hi Jeff! We recently added a primer on making your own siphons that you might be interested in reading about. A video will come soon too!

In the 1970s in FL, I constructed a 10×20 ft solar GH based on New Alchemy principles. It grew 13″ broccoli heads and a tomato plant that survived almost 18 months. Today, I manage a NC mountain solar GH constructed by Open Spaces staff, but my New Alk version was better IMO. I am currently constructing a house in the mountains, which occupies most of my time, but I hope to spend more time afterward in the OS GH. Will be looking for plants to grow in the thermal mass water tank and plants that can grow in a hole in the forest near a mountaintop LOL. Thanks for all that you do.
