6.1.5. Bioremediation in aquaculture systems
6.1.5. Bioremediation in aquaculture systems
The recent approach to improve water quality in aquaculture is the application of microbes/ enzymes to the ponds, known as ‘bioremediation’.
-
Bioremediation involves manipulation of microorganisms in ponds to enhance mineralization of organic matter and get rid of undesirable waste compounds and there by toxic effect.
-
When macro and micro organisms and/or their products are used as additives to improve water quality, they are referred as bioremediators or bioremediating agents (Moriaty, 1998).
-
The isolation and development of indigenous bacteria are required for successful bioremediation.
-
The administration of beneficial bacteria in the culture water has emphasized two advantages: bioremediation for controlling water quality and biocontrol with the goal of being antagonistic to pathogens.
