HerbAn Fish is an industrial aquaponics farm that produces fresh produce, herbs and fish in an urban environment. Aquaponics is a sustainable closed loop food production system that combines the raising of aquatic animals such as fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. The by-products from the fish are filtered out by the plants and captured as vital and organic nutrients that increase taste and nutrition. The cleansed water is then recirculated back to the fish.
