Abstract
Aquaponics system promises a sustainable urban development and food production by combining vegetable and fish farming in a single water loop. However, traditional aquaponics suffers from a significant amount of manual intervention with regard to decision-making in the water circulation and water quality control. In this work, we design, build and deploy a laboratory-scale real aquaponics system by considering this system as a cyber physical system, and we call it as Cyber Physical Aquaponics (CyPhA) system. The design of our CyPhA system has five stages, Stage-1 contains a vertical vegetable farming unit, Stage-2 contains fish farming unit, Stage-3 contains natural nitrification system, Stage-4 contains bio-filtration system and Stage-5 contains water accumulation and release system. Water transfer from one stage to the next is done using water pumps, and oxygen mixing in the water in…
