“…Many economically important vegetables and flowering plants can utilize the major nutrients (NO 3 -N, NH 4 -N and H 2 PO 4 / HPO 4 -P) for their growth from the nutrient-rich waste water upon proper management or suitable amendments [7]. This concept may be applied as a method for eco-logical treatment of wastewater but there is also a risk of accumulation of the heavy metals within the edible parts of the plant that can create metal toxicity in the human body when they are consumed.…”

The present study focused on evaluating the impact of application of sugar industry treated wastewater effluent on Sugarcane growth comparing at two experimental farms, one irrigated with the effluent and the other with bore well water, over a period of 11 months (March 2010 to January 2011).The result indicated a significant increase in growth pattern, plant height, shoot diameter, number of leaves and nodes, and biomass of the saplings that was irrigated with the effluents compared to that irrigated with bore well water. The growth parameters showed close relationship with the nutrient contents of treated industrial effluent and bore well water, the former being characterized by relatively higher pH, electrical conductivity (μs/cm), total suspended solids (TSS), sulphate, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, nitrate and phosphate, and heavy metals-Cu, Pb, Cd, Zn and Mn (mg/l) compared to that of bore well water, indicating profound influence of nutrient rich sugar industry effluent on the plant growth. Higher biomass in sugarcane saplings resulted with irrigation of the effluents compared to that irrigated with the bore well water.

“…T1 also showed 40.24% phosphate removal and T3 having less plant growth, and thus, showed the lowest value. Rana et al (2011) revealed that PO4-P was removed by 58.14-74.83% in aquaponic system. Shete et al (2016); Shete et al (2017) also revealed the high efficiency of nutrient removal in an aquaponic system.…”

“…Thus, supplementation of any nutrient was not done throughout the experiment. Rana et al (2011) identified nutrient removal from domestic wastewater by aquaponics system with tomato plants and showed more than 75% nitrate-N removal in all treatments. When considering the phosphate removal, T2 showed the highest (43.94%) phosphate removal.…”

A 60 days experiment was conducted for standardization of the stocking density proportions of Koi carp (Cyprinus carpio var. koi): Goldfish (Carassius auratus) along with water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica), and for evaluate the performance of recirculating aquaponic system. Different stocking density ratios of Koi carp: Goldfish (1:1=T1; 1:2=T2; 2:1=T3 with aquaponics and 1:1=C without aquaponics) were tested with three replicates, at an initial total fish density of 0.8 kg/m 3 . Growth of Goldfish was not significant different (P≥0.05) among the treatments. However, the T2 group showed the highest growth for the Koi carp (P<0.05). Significantly higher plant growth (mean plant height 62.98±1.44 cm) was observed for the T2 fish density ratio. Nutrient removal (NO3-N, PO4-P and K) was significantly higher for the T2 density ratio. Thus, Koi carp: Goldfish of 1:2 can be suggested as the optimum stocking density ratio in polyculture aquaponic recirculating system with I. aquatica.

“…Fish meat provides nutritious foods that contribute significantly to human well-being for active healthy life with related economic production [1]. However, in most rural areas of South Africa, freshwater fish and fish meals are not regarded as food or as a meal by the majority; rather it is discredited with related religious and cultural could affect environmental sustainability and fish well-being ( Figure 4) [33]. To address this, various filtering methods has been developed and tried in aquaculture to avert negative impact of aquacultural effluent wastes.…”
