Aquaponics is a type of hydroponic farming. (non-SA link)
The idea also adds another thing the Botanists can grow for food, plus it gives them a choice in how they grow things, which allows for varying play styles. Not only that, but imagine being able to add various things into the fish tank to influence the quality/chemical content of the fish, as well as have some trickle-down effect on the plants.
After giving it some thought, I think adding in Aquaponic farming as an optional means of growing food would add tons of depth to Botany as a whole.
