The treatment of aquaculture wastewaters- a botanical approach
Article Abstract:
The use of conventional wastewater treatment technology for treatment of aquaculture wastewaters is investigated. The nutrient removal efficiency of untreated wastewater was measured by allowing it to flow through three types of aquatic plant treatment systems, namely, free-floating, emergent and submersed. The greatest amount of nutrient removal was observed in the recirculation system planted with aquatic macrophyte watercress. Importance of plant cropping and the roles of bacterial and microbial populations in relation to plant growth are also analyzed.
