Components of a Recirculating Aquaculture System continued 2. Biofiltration continued Engineered forms: Submerged Fluidized beds Emerged Trickling/RBC Combinations Submerged biofilters can either be up-, or down-flowing. Over time, submerged biofilters may block due to accumulation of sediments and must therefore, be flushed. Trickling biofilters are similar to submerged biofilters except that water trickles downwards over the media, keeping bacteria wet but not entirely submerged. Rotating biological contactors are circular media that turns like a wheel, thereby alternately bringing bacteria in contact with water and then air. They are cheap and also can act to oxygenate the water column while stripping gasses.

Recirculation systems

Biological filtration Biological filtration is the use bacteria to removal of waste metabolites that accumulate from keeping, feeding and growing fish in a closed recirculating system. After oxygen, it is the accumulation of ammonia - the waste metabolite from protein digestion - that is probably the most limiting factor affecting the success of operating closed recirculation systems.

Biological filtration The removal of ammonia (NH3) by oxidation to nitrite (NO2) and finally nitrate (NO3) is carried out by the bacteria Nitrosomonas sp. and Nitrobacter sp. respectively. This process is known as nitrification. Un-ionised ammonia and nitrite are both toxic to fish at relatively low concentrations whereas nitrate, the end product of nitrification, is relatively non-toxic at even quite high concentrations.

Biological filtration The rate of nitrification is optimal around 30°C. The particular size and type of filtration equipment needed will depend on a number of factors including, the type of fish, the biomass of fish, the amount of food fed the temperature of the water.
