| Popis: | This paper discusses the similarities between biofilms and periphyton mats in aquaculture systems. The structure of both biofilms and periphyton mats is briefly reviewed, the process of ammonia removal is explained and quantified, solid trapping and detachment from films and mats are described and the possible impact on the oxygen budget in culture systems is examined. In addition, the performance of a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) using a sedimentation tank and trickling biofilter is compared to the functioning of a periphyton-based RAS. |
