Probably a seventh grade level course that has been cut and pasted with info from different sources. Too basic a course if you're interested in entertaining a commercial production facility. I gave it a revised and generous 3 stars but to be honest, you'll not get plan design considerations, water flow (fluid dynamics), vendor info, challenges in on-going systems, RAS, CRAS design, costs and other detailed challenges in today's environment. AI is also lacking. I'm not interested in aquaponics so I skipped that piece. You may buy it to help their 503c but my learning was 0 and I know Israel and Turkey are having many breakthroughs in aquaculture as off late but no info given. This course is not to the level I expected. Should be 1 star if you're serious about entertaining the possibility

Very informative and a comprehensive course on Aquaponics. However, some of the practical (system builds) are not very step-by-step.
