Aquaponics
This is part of an old aquaponics system. Aquaponics systems grow fish and plants in a contained system. The fish fertilize the plants and the plants filter the water for the fish. The services the plants and fish provide for each other are analogous to interactions in real world ecosystems.
Aquaponics could also play an important role in achieving the UN SDG # 14 Life Under Water. Most fisheries in the world are being over fished, and aquaponics has been presented as a feasible solution. Because aquaponics recycles water, it is more efficient than traditional fisheries and has the added benefit of cultivating crops. Cultivating fish for consumption could relieve strain on natural fisheries and allow them to begin recovering.
