NO-N and NH-N are two prevalent nitrogenous pollutants in aquaculture wastewater posing a significant health risk to aquatic animals. R. azotoformans ATCC17025 can rapidly denitrify to remove NO-N, assimilating NH-N. The study investigated the influence of ammonia assimilation on bacterial denitrification. Results revealed that low concentration of NH-N (≤0.3 mM) accelerated denitrification, whereas high concentration inhibited it. RT-qPCR indicated that the inhibition of NO reduction under high concentration of NH-N was the primary cause of denitrification depression, whereas low concentration of NH-N enhanced the synthesis of practically all enzymes involved in denitrification. Finally, nitrogen-rich aquaculture effluent was effectively treated in lab-scale using a semi-continuous operation that provided an appropriate NH-N concentration for denitrification. This semi-continuous operation treated wastewater 2 times faster than the batch operation and the content of nitrogen decreased to effluent standard. The study can provide guidance for nitrogen removal of aquaculture wastewater with bioaugmentation.

To assess the environmental status of an abandoned aquaculture and breeding area in the northeast coast of the Hainan Island, surface and well water, sediment and surface soils were sampled and analyzed for conventional physicochemical properties, heavy metals and antibiotics. Metagenome tests were also conducted to determine the composition and diversity of the microbial community in typical habitats. Affected by the discharge of wastewater from higher-place pond aquaculture, coastal freshwater rivers have undergone significant salinization, Cl and Na were as high as 4.

Article Synopsis
- Effluent from the textile industry, particularly dye wastewater like malachite green, poses significant environmental risks, leading to increased research into sustainable dye removal methods.
- A hydrogel composite was developed using black liquor from corncobs and sodium alginate, achieving optimal dye adsorption at a 1:4 weight ratio, with a capacity of 650 mg/g for a dye concentration of 1500 mg/L.
- Characterization techniques confirmed high dye removal efficiencies (up to 95.54%) for both the black liquor/sodium alginate and alkaline lignin/sodium alginate hydrogels, with the adsorption kinetics fitting the pseudo-second-order model and a strong correlation to the Langmuir isotherm.

This study aims to evaluate the black bullhead , an invasive alien fish (IAF) in Serbia, as a bioindicator organism and assess the safety of natural and aquaculture specimens for human consumption. A set of biomarkers was analysed to assess the bioindicator potential at a site exposed to agricultural activities. The genotoxic response was determined by an alkaline comet assay and micronucleus assay in fish erythrocytes, and the metal pollution index (MPI) was calculated to assess the toxic element burden on fish.

Pharmaceutical and aquaculture wastewater contains not only antibiotics but also high concentrations of nitrogen, but few studies have been conducted on bacteria that target this complex pollution for degradation. A novel heterotrophic nitrifying aerobic denitrifying (HN-AD) strain Acinetobacter pittii TR1 isolated from soil. When the C/N ratio was 20, the strain could degrade 50 mg/L roxithromycin (ROX) and the nitrogen removal rate was 96.

Aquaculture generates substantial amount of residual feeds and faecal matter that accumulate in the culture environment and pollute effluent-receiving water, diminishing its ecological functioning. To devise means of treating nutrient-rich aquaculture wastewater, the efficiency of integrated papyrus-bivalve mesocosms in removing nutrients was evaluated. The mesocosms were fed on water (6600 L) from one brood-stock pond and allowed to settle for 2 weeks.
