I am excited to announce the release of this recent publication. This paper is the first to discuss the unique interplay that drives all biological health with specific regard to aquaponic farming. "Observing and managing the interplay between Eh, pH, and EC can provide valuable insights to farmers that can lead to improved system functionality, reduced crop loss, and improved product quality. Better monitoring devices and infrastructure to automate measurements and associated data analysis have spurred the integration of fundamental physical parameters into aquatic animal and plant farming. Until costs and knowledge obstacles are reduced, however, a theoretical approach to managing Eh, pH, and EC may be more practical."

FAQs
Q1: Can imbalances in Eh, pH, and EC harm fish and plants?
Yes, imbalances can lead to nutrient deficiencies, stress in fish, and hindered plant growth.
Q2: How frequently should I monitor these parameters in my aquaponic system?
Regular monitoring, at least weekly, is recommended to promptly identify and address any deviations.
Q3: Are there automated systems for managing Eh, pH, and EC in aquaponics?
Yes, automated systems are available, and ongoing advancements may lead to more sophisticated solutions in the future.
