PERMA- Aquaculture Ecological Food Web

description

A look at the ecology behind pond systems design to feed fish lower on the trophic scale- i.e. tilapia but also could be panfish or perch. This presentation goes through different species of aquatic plants and their habitats as well as the other players in the ecological food web of a pond. THis includes how land based Permaculture systems interface with these aquatic cultivated ecologies.
