Plant growth (fresh weight of fruit, leave, root, stem), fertilizer supplementation and water consumption in the hydroponic unit of the coupled (Hydro C) and decoupled (Hydro D) aquaponic system after 30, 63, 94, 122 and 154 d.

Water consumption is only indicated for Hydro D, since Hydro C is coupled to the RAS C and is only given for the entire system (Table 2). Roots and stems were only sampled at the end of the experiments and fresh weight therefore not determined (n.d.) earlier.
