Wastewater and Sludge Management

Effective wastewater and sludge management is essential in aquaculture to maintain water quality and minimize environmental impact. Waste from fish farms contains nutrients, organic matter, and contaminants that, if unchecked, can lead to harmful algal blooms and ecosystem degradation. Treatment methods such as biofilters, sedimentation, and nutrient recovery processes are employed to handle waste responsibly. By managing sludge, farms can recycle nutrients into fertilizers, creating a circular approach that reduces waste and pollution. Effective management practices protect surrounding ecosystems from nutrient overload, contributing to sustainable aquaculture and ensuring that water resources remain healthy and viable for future use.
