Filtration
Definition
Aquatic cultural systems contain living organisms in a medium of water. These organisms require inputs, such as food and they excrete other materials. The inputs must be mixed with or dissolved in water to be available to the organisms. Whose outputs will also become mixed with or dissolved in the water. Excessive out put and /or inputs can become toxic if the concentration is allowed to increase in the culture water. The process of removing excess materials is called filtration. Thus filtration may be defined as the separation of a mixture or solution into component parts. The resulting components may be pure or may be solutions or mixtures composed of two or more constituents.
