Constructed wetlands for treatment of harvest effluents from grow-out ponds of the Amazon river prawn

Aquaculture Research, 2015
Effluent discharges from aquaculture can reduce water quality in receiving water bodies and that strategies or practices to reduce this are necessary. One possibility is to reduce, or eliminate, water renewal in grow-out ponds. In this study, we eliminated water renewal in grow-out ponds associated with the culture of 40 individuals m−2 of Amazon river
