鱼菜共生系统通常被指定为可持续粮食生产系统，但仍面临各种挑战，特别是当它们被视为需要在市场上竞争的商业努力时。鱼菜共生产业的早期阶段已经见证了一些关于鱼菜共生经济不合理的不切实际的陈述。本章将讨论这些主题，并对它们进行批判性的讨论。最新的科学文献和欧洲商业鱼菜共生农民目前的个人经验被考虑到三个层面：生产的园艺方面，生产的水产养殖方面和市场对鱼菜共生反应的早期数据，强调营销问题和公众对鱼菜共生的接受程度。总之，本章没有提供一个“现成的”解决方案来评估一个特定的鱼菜共生系统的经济性能。相反，它提供了一个广泛的数据库，可以更现实地估计计划系统的效率，指出商业鱼菜共生早期采用者面临的挑战，这些挑战是未来鱼菜共生努力的重要教训，特别是在欧洲。
Aquaponic systems are often designated as sustainable food production systems that are still facing various challenges, especially when they are considered as a commercial endeavour that needs to compete on the market. The early stages of the aquaponics industry have witnessed a number of unrealistic statements about the economic advantageousness of aquaponics. This chapter deals with these topics and discusses them critically. The latest scientific literature and current personal experiences of European commercial aquaponics farmers are taken into account on three levels: The horticulture side of production, the aquaculture side of production and the early data on the market response to aquaponics, emphasising the marketing issues and public acceptance of aquaponics. In summary, the chapter does not provide an “off-the-peg” solution to evaluate the economic performance of a particular aquaponics system. Instead it provides a broad database that enables an estimation of the efficiency of a planned system more realistically, pointing to challenges that the commercial aquaponics early adopters faced that are important lessons for future aquaponic endeavours, particularly in Europe.
