A recirculating integrated system producing Sciaenops ocellatus and Gracilariopsis longissima (a red seaweed) was evaluated with respect to nutrient removal efficiency and production. G. longissima was found to be efficient in removing toxic ammonia and maintaining the water quality within an acceptable level for S. ocellatus culture. Specific growth rate (SGR) of S. ocellatus ranged from 0.064 ± 0.006% d-1 to 0.099% ± 0.010% d-1. Survival rates of S. ocellatus were 100% in the Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) systems. G. longissima had average SGRs of 3.03 ± 0.11% d-1, 2.48 ± 0.04% d-1, 1.86 ± 0.26% d-1 and 1.12 ± 0.16% d-1 under initial densities of 1 g L-1, 3 g L-1, 6 g L-1 and 9 g L-1, respectively. Daily average nitrogen and phosphorus uptake rates of G. longissima were negatively correlated to cultivation densities in the recirculating system. Biofiltration capacity of G. longissima was confirmed by significantly reduced concentrations of ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and phosphate in the integrated system with S. ocellatus. Results indicated that G. longissima is suitable as a good candidate for IMTA systems. |
