RESUMEN.Se evaluó el efecto del flujo de agua sobre la eficiencia de tapetes microbianos para remover nitrógeno amoniacal total (NAT, N-NH4 + + N-NH3), nitritos (N-NO2 . En este trabajo se demostró que el flujo de agua posee un efecto importante en la capacidad de los tapetes microbianos para la biorremediación de amonio y nitritos en sistemas recirculados. Se recomienda continuar con la identificación de otras variables que podrían afectar el óptimo funcionamiento de los tapetes microbianos. Palabras clave: Litopenaeus vannamei, tapetes microbianos, biorremediación, Sistemas de Recirculación en Acuicultura (RAS). . This study showed that the water flow rate has a significant effect on the microbial mats capacity for the bioremediation of ammonium and nitrite in recirculating systems. It is recommended to continue with the identification of other variables that could affect the optimal functioning of microbial mats in RAS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
