Treatment of shrimp hatchery effluents
Shrimp hatcheries are highly dependent on continuous availability of clean water and proper treatment of effluents using sedimentation and biofiltration.
Responsibility
Catch & Culture Review: Marine macroalgae as sustainable biofilters for nitrogen removal
This review of aquaculture literature assesses how macroalgae and microalgae can enrich functional foods, nutraceuticals, protein-fortified products and personalized diets.
Innovation & Investment
A review of unit processes in RAS systems
Since un-ionized ammonia-nitrogen and nitrite-nitrogen are toxic to most finfish, controlling their concentrations in culture tanks is a primary objective in the design of recirculating aquaculture systems.
Health & Welfare
Double duty: Seaweed provides both biofiltration, marketable product
Most seaweed species that function as biofilters for finfish aquaculture have little market value, so produced biomass remains a byproduct of biofiltration.
Responsibility
Improving biofiltration in recirculating aquaculture systems
The design and operation of biofilters is multidisciplinary, involving mechanical engineering, microbial ecology and aquaculture husbandry.
