2. Abstract:
Dataset acquired for the study published in the article: “Suitability and optimization of FAO's small-scale aquaponics systems for joint production of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) and fish (Carassius auratus)”. 
This study evaluated the performance of three different small-scale aquaponic systems for the joint production of lettuce and Carassius auratus. The dataset presents the data acquired of the different variables for water quality, plant production and fish production.
