Engineered Aquaculture Ecosystem for Managing Wastewater

This aquaculture ecosystem utilizes low RPM paddlewheels to control water flow rate and feed fish waste to algae to reduce eutrophication effects. For every ton of fish produced as much as 66 kilograms of nitrogen waste and 10.5 kilograms of phosphorus waste are produced. The waste feeds plankton and algae, and in excess can lead to blooms and then...
