Abstract

This study presents prototype aquaponics systems implemented on ten Lithuanian farms during 2021–2022. Results show stable fish growth, safe vegetable production, and controlled indoor conditions. Performance is comparable to that of established European systems, highlighting aquaponics as an innovative and sustainable farming approach, while also identifying the key technical challenges that remain.
