Questions based on crops and aquatic plants

Below are above two topics
1.     "What crops are considered important in sustaining Canada’s growth in the agricultural sector?" and
2.      "How are aquatic plants being used to clean wastewater from fish?"
Please read through as both have very good information!

What crops are considered important in sustaining Canada’s growth in the agricultural sector?

Canada’s main crops are wheat, canola, barley, corn, soybeans, potatoes, flax, as well as oats (these are listed in order of income generated). Cereal is the main food source for domesticated animals (cows, chickens). Agriculture developed as humans began sowing seeds as well as cultivating plants in order to have a more dependable food supply. Many of the foods us humans eat, contain hidden processed plant products such as sugar from corn, and oil from canola or sunflowers. The crops above all have a part in our human lives as if we didn't have them a lot of what we eat as well as need would not be here.

How are aquatic plants being used to clean wastewater from fish?  

It all starts with fish producing waste and excreting into the water. When this happens we have water that becomes high in nutrients. The aquatic plants are the way to keep ponds, even garden waters clean as they absorb carbon dioxide, release oxygen to the water, and they even improve the environment for fish. The plants absorb nutrients from the water, which is why the aquatic plants obtain nutrients needed from the water as the water is high in nutrients from fish waste. This reduction in nutrients results in clearer water as well with fewer algae.
