1 BIOFILTER IN RECIRCULATION AQUACULTURE SYSTEM AN INTRODUCTION MSc. Do Quang Tien Vuong VIDATEC Program DHI Vietnam 1 Why recirculate? Conserves water Permits high density culture in locations where space and or water are limiting Minimizes volume of effluent, facilitating waste recovery Allows for increased control over the culture environment, especially indoors Improved biosecurity Environmentally sustainable 1

2 Recirculating System Applications Broodstock maturation Larval rearing systems Nursery systems Nutrition and health research systems Short-term holding systems Ornamental and display tanks High density growout of food fish 3 Raceway in Cantho University A VIDATEC s outputs: 230m 3 x 2 raceway system 4 2

3 5 System Control Fine & Dissolved Solids Removal Disinfection & Sterilization Aeration & Oxygenation Water Quality, Loading, Culture Units, Species CO 2 Removal Biofiltration & Nitrification Waste Mgmt Solids Capture Hydraulics 6 3

Oxydization of NO 2 faster than Oxydization NH 4 This process uses alkalinity (Yoram Avnimelech, Biofloc Technology, 2009) Production losses / Growth loss occurs when: Oxygen levels drop below 5 mg/l (ppm) CO 2 levels exceed 25 mg/l (ppm) Ammonia levels exceed 0.03 mg/l (ppm) Solids are not removed from system quickly Biofilter media becomes clogged. 9
