Furthermore, is hydroponics commercially viable?

Yes, hydroponics can certainly be profitable. (It can also be a very expensive liability if managed poorly). However, it is also capital intensive (as all agriculture is). So you need a lot of capital (either by raising investment or putting in money yourself or some combination).

Subsequently, question is, how much does it cost to start a aquaponics business? Their system costs $10.94 per plant space, while our system costs $0.62 per plant space. It would seem that an aquaponic system design with more plant spaces, that cost less per each, would be good for your business.

Beside this, is there money in aquaponics?

It is possible to run 2,500-3,000 sq ft of aquaponics system, in a total of 40 hours per week, by yourself. Make sure you have some business experience before you start your aquaponics BUSINESS. Profit not only comes from a functioning system, but a smart business plan as well.

Is hydroponics or aquaponics more profitable?

One argument that prospective growers might hear is that aquaponics is a cheaper system to operate than hydroponics. While fish food is usually cheaper than nutrient solutions, it is also used in greater amounts and usually has to be paired with other supplements for nutrients that aren't available in the feed itself.
