A study was conducted to evaluate the growth performance of lettuce (Lactuca sativa var.
Loose-leaf) and tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus var. Nile) in a small-scale aquaponics system. A
pipe Nutrient Film technique constructed vertically was incorporated for the lettuce and an
intensive culture method was used for the tilapia in the tank culture. The hydroponics system
component was used for one cropping cycle. A stocking density of 63 fingerlings/m3 was used
in aquaculture which resulted to 12 fingerlings per rearing tank. The hydroponics component
used varied in three (3) different planting densities: Treatment 1 — 8; Treatment 2 — 12;
Treatment 3 - 16 seedlings of lettuce. Ti lapia was reared for 25 days and thrived best in
Treatment 2 which yielded an average weight of 49.97 g.
However, the average harvested fish weight obtained in all of the systems was only
75.21% of the average growth of fish that should be obtained in a 25-day span according to the
Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR). Lettuce was also grown for 25 clays in which Treatment 1
produced the highest average yield and thrived best in the system with an average yield of
83.21 g.
