摘要

The tiny, tranquil Caribbean island of St Croix, part of the U.S. Virgin Islands, may seem an unlikely place to find the world's most established aquaponics program. But almost three decades of research have yielded a nearly flawless production systemand a wealth of experience to share. Dr. James Rakocy, director of the University of the Virgin Islands Agricultural Experiment Station, believes the effectiveness of the aquaponics system illustrates the best of both hydroponics and aquaculture but issimpler to operate than either.
