The average person is unaware of aquaponics because it has not received much press. Those that have some knowledge in aquaponics have largely been exposed only to the inconspicuous backyard project. However, since The New Alchemy Institute first experimented with integrated aquaculture more than 30 years ago[i], global interest in the aquaponics has risen steadily. In fact, an increasing number of universities are exploring aquaponics' potential in addressing global environmental issues.
