Treatment of fish wastewater by using water spinach (ipomoea aquatica) in an aquaponic system

An aquaponic systein was designed to investigate the effect of HRT towards water quality. Water spinach (Ipomoea Aquatica) was cultivated in medium growth bed to examine for its ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater. The effectiveness of quantity of water spinach also investigate...

The aquaponic system was investigated in 2-, 4- and 6-d hydraulic retention times (HRTs) with particular emphasis on nitrogen conversion and removal through the system. Although substantial amounts of soluble and insoluble substances were released by the roots accommodation, the plants were able to remove the pollutants in wastewater. Both BOD 5 and COD removals were enhanced by the longer HRT as well as the decreasing of concentration of NH 3-N, NO 3 -N, and NO 2 -N.
