Carlos Leon of Acuaponia will discuss the Development of Bio-Engineering for Commercial Aquaponics this September at the Putting Up

Shoots conference. Carlos operates commercial farms in Mexico, and is one of several international speakers at the conference.

Design criteria for aquaponic systems have evolved over the past several years. At first, the focus was just fish and plants. But now, new hybrid systems use biotechnology to incorporate other products.

Carlos will discuss the commercial production of shrimp and algae in aquaponic systems; and the newest technologies that make this possible.

He'll be presenting in the Commercial Aquaponics learning track. Stay tuned in the coming weeks to hear about speakers from the Community Aquaponics, STEM Aquaponics, and Aquaponics Research & Food Safety learning tracks.
