There
are so many species of fish which can be raised in an
aquaponics system. It
depends on the territory because not all species of fish are allowed to be
grown in some places. The regulations of the concerned area should be preferred
before choosing the species of fish for the food production system. The rules
and regulations of the area are made on the basis of the climate of that
particular area because the survival of the fishes is closely related to the
climate. If a symbiotic environment is not given to the aquaponics system, the
growth or survival of the fishes and plants is not possible.

To
decide the best species of fish, the following must be considered,
1.
What
do you expect from your system?
If you expect to eat fish from your food production system, you need to grow the edible species of fish which provide protein, and that can live longer compared to other species. On the other hand, if you don't want to eat the fish grown in the system, you need not to grow edible fish. Ornamental fishes can be grown.
2.
Availability
of type of fish
The species of fish, available in the area have great importance because to stock the system with fish the farmer should buy the easily available species of fish.
There
are thousand of species of fish which are able to grow in the aquatic system.
Some popular species are:
Goldfish
