Abstract

Contextualization: It is estimated that by 2050, the world population will exceed 9.7 billion. This makes aquaponic systems emerge as an alternative to traditional production processes, combining plant and animal production into a sustainable and economically viable practice. Since two different products can be obtained in the same space, they become sustainable and feasible to implement.

Knowledge gap: This type of production serves as an alternative by integrating the symbiotic relationship between agriculture and aquaculture into a single production cycle, promoting water-use efficiency and optimizing resources for plant fertilization. However, one of the main challenges in such systems is the lack of standardization in design and operation, limited research on the specific interactions between the organisms involved, and how these interactions affect the system's health and performance.

Purpose: This research evaluated the production of cilantro (Coriandrum sativum L.) and red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) in an aquaponic system to contribute to food development and sustainability. By focusing on species distinct from commonly cultivated ones, such as lettuce, it aims to diversify plant production, promoting environmental sustainability, reducing ecological footprints, and strengthening resilient supply chains in response to population growth and climate change.

Methodology: A completely randomized design was implemented. The statistical method ANOVA was used, and Duncan's test was employed to compare plant and fish development to determine whether significant differences existed between them. Data collection was conducted over a three-week period.

Results and conclusions: By the third week, approximate weights of 390 grams were recorded for the animals. The association resulted in the plants not reaching physiological maturity. Ammonium levels reached a maximum of 8 ppm, nitrites 0.50 ppm, and nitrates 40.00 ppm, reflecting inadequate nutrient absorption by the plants and an imbalance in ammonium levels in the water. The proposal to investigate cilantro (Coriandrum sativum L.) germination in an inert substrate prior to transplantation into the aquaponic system opens new opportunities to enhance plant production.
