A total of 13 \r\naquaponics farms from Selangor (9), Pulau Pinang (2) and Sarawak (2) participated in this survey. \r\nFarm general information, crop, fish and aquaponics system, financial input and output, and farm \r\nchallenges of each aquaponics farm were summarised. Aquaponics farms are mainly located in urban \r\nareas where 84.6% of the farms were intermediate farms (&gt;1076 ft \u2013\u22645382 ft ) and large farms \r\n2\r\n2\r\n2\r\n(&gt;5382 ft ). The most produced crops and fish by these aquaponics farms were leafy vegetables and \r\ntilapia respectively. Aquaponics farmers spent an average of RM 75.44\/ft2 on the initial capital while RM 16.44\/ft2 on the annual expenses. On average, crop production value was threefold higher than fish production value produced by these aquaponics farms. Plant pests and diseases, pH instability and nutrient deficiencies in the aquaponics system as well as financial issues were some of the main challenges faced by the aquaponics farmers.<\/p>\r\n        \r\n                    <p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong>\r\n                aquaculture, aquaponics, sustainability, tilapia            <\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t\r\n\t\r\n\t<div class=\"asmsj-citation-box\">\r\n        <h3>How to Cite<\/h3>\r\n        <p id=\"citation-text\">\r\n            2025.
