I have also seen aquaculturists that started out small and quietly and now dominate the market for their particular product, still quiet but very profitable.

I did a *lot* of reading about this subject at one point before deciding I couldn't think of an energy-efficient way of doing it, but the fact that struck me most was just how much "veggie" bed were required to clean the water (particularly of the nitrogen) of a relatively small number of fish. The water is being circulated through the roots of the plants, so that requires the water to be at a temperature that plants like which for many popular crops is in the 70f/19C vacinity. Where I live, that pretty much requires a warm greenhouse - even my house isn't reliably that warm most of the year and the humidity would be a killer in my climate if it was in the house. I didn't explore just growing water plants for biomass to clear the nitrogen and other wastes.I quite agree that starting small and slowly increasing your production may work better than jumping with both feet in right away, taking on so much debt that one ends up failing.

Short answer - yes, aquaponics is a fun thing to play with, and I absolutely believe it can be done well, safely, humanely, and with true sustainability - but it might take just the right climate and circumstances to do so, along with people who are truly good at thinking outside the box and coming up with creative solutions!

We just came home with 2# of beautiful fresh shrimp on ice.
All 26 of them... 13 shrimp per pound! Holy cow batman these are some super colossal size shrimp.
The ziplock bag they were in has a temperature monitor to let you know they are still fresh and safe to consume!
