Experimental investigation on scaling and automation of aquaponics system

There has been a rising trend in gardening as a recreational activity in Singapore. However, most Singaporeans do not own a garden as they live in flats and they are sometimes too busy to constantly take care of their plants. Aquaponics is deemed as the new eco-friendly method that can be utilise...
