Feb. 5, 2016 - PRLog -- Plastics are critical to most water based food growing systems . . . but did you know that plastics like PVC pipes can actually break down and emit toxins into your water, plants and fish?

Plastics in Aquaculture and Aquaponics have always been of concern but now there is strong evidence that if you use the wrong kinds of plastic, you might be slowly poisoning your food, your fish and the very water that circulates in your system.

Not good . . .

"There is an old saying, 'Junk in, junk out.' Nothing could be more true for an industry that needs to be able to show a clean track record when it comes to food safety and how to ensure that your fish and water in your food growing system is not contaminated. This kind of contamination is not always readily known about because most systems can bio accumulate these toxins and pass them on to fish, plants and eventually you and your family." - Said M.D. Kelley, ASC Trade Magazine contributing writer and Aquaculture student.
