This thesis explored a new aquatic-based food production method, i.e., the integration of biofloc-based aquaculture with soilless plant (hydroponics) production in so-called FLOCponics systems. FLOCponics is a special case of integrated agri-aquaculture, where nutrients from a biofloc-based culture are used to nourish and irrigate plants in a hydroponics subsystem. FLOCponics is quite a new research field, and little is known about fish and plant productivity, resource use efficiency, and sustainability of this integrated system. Developing a better understanding of FLOCponics may bring advantages to food producers and society. In this context, the overall aim of this thesis was to investigate and discuss the technical feasibility, efficiency and sustainability of on-demand coupled FLOCponics for tilapia juveniles and lettuce production. For that, the following specific objectives were formulated: (1) To identify the status quo of FLOCponics, highlight current FLOCponics challenges and give directions for further research. (2) To determine the technical feasibility of producing tilapia juveniles and lettuce in on-demand coupled FLOCponics compared to traditional (RAS-based) on-demand coupled aquaponics, hydroponics and biofloc-based monoculture systems. (3) To determine how the reduction of protein content in the fish diet affects fish and plant growth, dietary nutrient use by fish and water quality in on-demand coupled FLOCponics system. (4) To investigate the efficiency of on-demand coupled FLOCponics system in terms of resource use and amount of food produced and discuss the overall advantages and disadvantages of FLOCponics compared to biofloc-based fish culture. (5) To assess and discuss the sustainability of biofloc-based fish culture with and without integrating with hydroponic plant production and provide insights on how to improve the sustainable character of food production in such systems. (6) To identify suitable fish species for aquaponics and discuss their applicability to diversify FLOCponics' products.
