INTEGRATED WASTEWATER AQUACULTURE

Abstract

Utilization of wastewater in fish culture is based on nutrient recycling,
which enhances primary productivity, planktonic biornass, macrophytes
and benthic organisms which detern1ine fish production. Production of
fishes could be enhanced to 10 tonlha through wastewater recycling by
judicial stock manipulation and management. The fallow lands around a
sewage fish farm could be utilized for agrihorticultural production by
recycling both sludge and sewage water, resulting in a total agro
production of about 110 ton/ha through rotational vegetable cropping.
The potential for additional production of vegetables not only enhances
revenue but also creates employment.
