Water conservation: No need for water discharge and recharge as the water is maintained by the recycling process.

Soil: Bottom soil may be loaded with freshwater. Microbes in water can convert the waste materials into usable forms like ammonia into nitrates which are used by the plants. Thus the soil fertility is maintained.
Pesticides: In this system use of pesticides is avoided and hence it is eco-friendly.

Weeds: Since the plants are cultured in confined conditions, the growth of weeds is completely absent. The utilization of nutrients by plants is high in this method.

Artificial food for fishes: ln this system plant waste and decays are utilized by fishes as food. So, the need for the use of supplementary feed can be minimized.

Fertilizer usage: Artificial or chemical fertilizers are not required for this system since the plants in the aquaponics utilize the nutrients from the fish wastes dissolved in water.
