Innovation & Investment
New studies confirm feasibility of innovative methods for aquaculture wastewater treatment
Recent studies demonstrate innovative methods can effectively treat aquaculture wastewater, reducing environmental harm.
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.
Responsibility
Nutrient recycling and circular economies can support sustainable intensification of aquaculture, part 2
Whether aquaculture can meet global seafood demand depends on the impacts of variables like climate change and marine ecosystem stability.
Responsibility
Nutrient recycling and circular economies can support sustainable intensification of aquaculture, part 1
With nutrient recycling, aquaculture can contribute sustainably toward the nutritional requirements of billions of people over the next century.
Aquafeeds
Mexican startup offers DIY aquafeed solution by upcycling wastewater
MicroTERRA is a promising Mexico-based startup developing systems that use microalgae to turn fishpond wastewater into protein for fish feed.
Responsibility
Integrated utilization of microalgae grown in aquaculture wastewater
A study shows that wastewater from recirculating aquaculture systems is suitable for microalgal cultivation and that sludge amendment to the wastewater increases production.
Responsibility
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
Sequencing batch reactors effectively treat shrimp aquaculture wastewater
One simple method of treating high-nitrogen wastewater in shrimp aquaculture is the use of sequencing batch reactors, which are simple in design.
Responsibility
Suspended-growth biological processes clean RAS wastewater
In pilot-scale research, researchers found that both sequencing and membrane batch reactors removed ammonia, nitrite and suspended solids with great efficacy.
Health & Welfare
Wastewater reuse supports paddlefish project
A pilot project in Kentucky that uses wastewater effluent and decommissioned tanks at a water treatment plant has cultured over 70,000 phase II paddlefish.
Responsibility
Membrane biological reactor technology supports wastewater reclamation reuse
Membrane biological reactor technology is a scalable wastewater treatment system that reclaims water discharged from RAS solids-collection devices.
