Baldwin Bulletin Baldwin Wisconsin: Raise fish and growing lettuce

Baldwin Bulletin Baldwin Wisconsin: St. Croix EDC Names Top Businesses for 2009: "They plan to raise lettuce in an aquaponics system in an arrangement in which fish effluent will be used as fertilizer for the lettuce
Terms used in the operation include: aquaculture which means fish farming; hydroponics which is growing plants without soil; and combined to be aquaponics which is both.
The fish produce waste products from eating which is broken down to nitrate and used by the lettuce. The lettuce breaks down the effluent in the water and it can then be recycled back to the fish."
