Aquaculture (growing fish) + Hydroponics
(growing plants) = Aquaponics

Aquaponics is a system of fish in tanks, whose waste water is pumped to vegetables in grow beds filled with gravel. The roots take up the nitrates and grow like crazy. The water returns to the tank, filtered clean. The organic vegetables and fish provide a complete diet, a good thing for an uncertain world.
