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.
Aquafeeds
Hidden value of feed: Water quality
The intrinsic values of better feeds directly affect shrimp growth and performance in a positive way, but because better feeds produce less waste materials in culture systems, they also result in improved water quality that indirectly improves shrimp performance.
Health & Welfare
High nitrate levels toxic to shrimp
Shrimp exposed to high concentrations of nitrate exhibit shorter antennae, gill abnormalities and hepatopancreas lesions. Nitrate toxicity is more of an issue for shrimp raised in lower-salinity waters.
