What is the method for growing plants and raising ﬁsh in the same system?

Answer 1

I believe you may be referring to aquaponics or aquaculture. See below.

Aquaculture is a system where aquatic plants or organisms are raised for human consumption. These organisms may be raised in artificial systems entirely created by humans or they may be systems put in place in ponds, coastal waters, rivers, etc. While not all aquaculture systems include plants, some do.

Aquaponics is a closely related term for systems where aquaculture and hydroponics are combined. Hydroponics refers to systems where plants are grown without soil. In aquaponics, both fish and plants are grown.

The method for growing plants and raising fish in the same system is called aquaponics. In aquaponics, fish waste provides nutrients for the plants, and the plants help filter and clean the water for the fish. This system creates a symbiotic relationship between the plants and fish, allowing for efficient and sustainable food production.
