Abstract: The aim of present study is to identify a suitable aquaponic technique and technology, able to maximize the economic sustainability of the integrated aquaculture systems. Thus, 4 experimental variants were used: AI-SA (imagistic modules+alternative substrate), AI-SH (imagistic modules+conventional substrate), NAI-SA (no imagistic modules+alternative substrate), and NAI-SH (no imagistic modules+conventional substrate). The use of SA can increase the profitability of basil aquaponics systems since it assures similar production performance as SH, but decreases both initial investment and labor costs. The use of AI observation module did not prove to be economic efficient due to the significant increase of initial investment costs.
