Is aquaponics organic?

Aquaponics is currently unable to be certified in Australia as organic, although the process of Aquaponics is a natural interaction between fish and the plants that produces no toxic waste, and does not use any chemical fertilisers or nutrients. Both the plants and the fish contribute to the cycling process of Aquaponics, with the grower using this interaction to their benefit – the fish provide the nutrients for the plants and the plants filter the water so that the fish are able to live. The fish food is the only additive to the Aquaponics system, and if this fish food has been produced organically, the whole Aquaponics system is completely organic.
