Innovation & Investment
Recent studies demonstrate innovative methods can effectively treat aquaculture wastewater, reducing environmental harm.
Responsibility
Whether aquaculture can meet global seafood demand depends on the impacts of variables like climate change and marine ecosystem stability.
Responsibility
With nutrient recycling, aquaculture can contribute sustainably toward the nutritional requirements of billions of people over the next century.
Aquafeeds
MicroTERRA is a promising Mexico-based startup developing systems that use microalgae to turn fishpond wastewater into protein for fish feed.
Responsibility
A study shows that wastewater from recirculating aquaculture systems is suitable for microalgal cultivation and that sludge amendment to the wastewater increases production.
Responsibility
Shrimp hatcheries are highly dependent on continuous availability of clean water and proper treatment of effluents using sedimentation and biofiltration.
Responsibility
One simple method of treating high-nitrogen wastewater in shrimp aquaculture is the use of sequencing batch reactors, which are simple in design.
Responsibility
In pilot-scale research, researchers found that both sequencing and membrane batch reactors removed ammonia, nitrite and suspended solids with great efficacy.
Health & Welfare
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 is a scalable wastewater treatment system that reclaims water discharged from RAS solids-collection devices.
