Flashcards
0/15
Heavy metals accumulation
Can be treated by phytoremediation using specific plants, chemical precipitation, or by using ion-exchange filters.
Metabolic heat
Heat can be recovered using heat exchangers and utilized for warming facilities or nearby buildings, or dissipated using cooling systems.
Aquaculture effluent
Can be treated through constructed wetlands, used to irrigate crops, or recycled back into the aquaculture system after treatment.
Aquatic weeds
Weeds can be mechanically removed, managed through biological control agents, or used for composting or biogas production.
Fish processing waste
Utilized to extract valuable by-products like fish oil and omega-3 supplements, pet food production, or turned into fish silage.
Phosphorus-rich sediments
Can be recovered and reused as a phosphorus source for agricultural fertilizers or treated using chemical precipitation.
Suspended solids
Removal by mechanical filtration, settling ponds, or utilization as a soil amendment after treatment and dewatering.
Dead fish
Dead fish can be composted, rendered for fish meal, or used in anaerobic digestion to produce biogas.
Fish offal
Fish offal can be processed into fish meal for animal feed, used for composting, or converted into biogas through anaerobic digestion.
Ammonia in water
Control through frequent water exchanges, biofiltration, or conversion to less harmful compounds via nitrification.
Uneaten fish feed
Can be minimized by optimizing feeding practices; recovery and recycling of uneaten feed; or used in composting or as feed for other organisms.
Medication and chemical residues
Requires careful disposal or treatment; can be broken down using advanced oxidation processes or filtered out through activated carbon.
Carbon dioxide accumulation
Managed by aeration to increase gas exchange, using plants to absorb CO2 in integrated systems, or chemical absorption methods.
Nitrogenous compounds
Treatment through nitrification and denitrification in biofilters or using it as a nutrient source in hydroponics or aquaponics systems.
Sludge from fish tanks
Sludge can be used in agricultural fields as fertilizer, in biogas plants, or treated further in wastewater treatment systems.
