A Laboratory-Scale Study of the Applicability of a Halophilic Sediment Bioelectrochemical System for Reclamation of Water and Sediment in Brackish Aquaculture Ponds: Establishment, Bacterial Community and Performance Evaluation.

In this study, we investigated the potential of using sediment bioelectrochemical systems (SBESs) for treatment of the water and sediment in brackish aquaculture ponds polluted with uneaten feed. An SBES integrated into a laboratory-scale tank simulating a brackish aquaculture pond was established. This test tank and the control (not containing the SBES) were fed with shrimp feed in a scheme that mimics a situation where 50% of feed is uneaten.
