Abstract
Aquaculture is primarily important for food production around the world. A recirculatory aquaculture system is a unique way to produce fish that requires less than 200 days. In aquaculture, biofilters play an important role by removing ammonia, which reduces the overall cost of the system and saves more than 99.5% of water use. This method is focused on limited water exchange by bio-filtration. Recirculation allows for complete control of parameters such as salinity, dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, alkalinity, and so on.
