Abstract— The aquaponics term derives from the words aquaculture and hydroponics, which by definition, has
the meaning of aquatics organisms culture and plant breeding techniques without soil, respectively. This activity
has how the main feature the sustainability, once the modality looks for the production with low w ater
consumption and high exploitation of waste generated. The present study had as objective to describe the
construction of the aquaponics pilot system. This way, based on the literature and acquired experience during
the work, a step-by-step method was established for the assembly of the system. To verify the process efficiency,
were analyzed the presence of total and thermotolerants coliforms, counting of facultative mesophiles and
quantification of micro and macronutrients in leaves and roots of Xantho soma sagittifolium. There was no
presence of total and thermotolerants coliforms in leaves and roots of X. sagittifolium. In the count of facultative
mesophiles the roots presented 6x104 CFU/g and the leaves 1.7x102 CFU/g. In the foliar analysis, 1430mg/kg of
Fe was observed in the roots. It was concluded that the pilot project was successfully built and testing can be
continued with new plants.
Keywords— Aquaculture, Hydroponics, Low water consumption, Sustainability, Xanthosoma sagittifolium.
