“…Mycoalgae biofilm formed by combination of Mucor indicus and C. vulgaris on polymer matrix surface, converts excess nitrogen and phosphorus into microalgal biomass for fish consumption and at the same time purifying the aquaculture water for recirculation (Barnharst et al 2018). Chlorella vulgaris used in aquaculture reduces the concentrations of phosphorus and total nitrogen, and therefore the microalga could be used to minimise the pollution levels in aquaculture wastewater (Blanco-Carvajal et al 2017;Blanco-carvajal & S anchez 2018).…”

Microalgae biomass is used in aquaculture as feed, growth enhancers and immunostimulants. Chlorella vulgaris is an important species with a good biomolecular composition. Commercially, it is one of the most commonly used microalga in aquaculture. Several studies confirmed its ability to improve nutrition, immunity, aquatic bioremediation, amelioration of stress, disease resistance of fish and inhibits bacterial quorum sensing when used appropriately. Despite claims of its benefits, C. vulgaris is reported to have unfavourable effects when incorporated in diets at higher inclusion levels. In addition, its rigid cell wall might restrict the access of digestive enzymes to the intracellular components for proper digestion and assimilation. Thus, this review discusses the role of C. vulgaris and its importance in aquaculture with emphasis on its environmental requirements, morphology, pigments, digestibility, dynamics on growth performance, antibacterial activity, bacterial quorum sensing, immunomodulatory effect, anti‐stress effect, gut microbiome, aquatic bioremediation and its safety as food or feed.

“…Different technologies have been used for decontamination of wastewater such as chemical precipitation, membrane filtration, biological processes and ion exchange [6]. However, these techniques exhibit disadvantages such as high reagent cost, energy requirements and sludge generation [7]. Of all treatment methods that have been developed, adsorption is the one most promising method for removing pollutants from aqueous solution [8].…”

Adsorptive materials have been widely investigated for removing heavy metal water pollutants and agricultural residues such as fruit peels seems to be a promising alternative due to its low cost and availability. This work attempts to study kinetics of Cr (VI) adsorption onto different orange peels-based biosorbents (OP, OPAC and OP-Chitosan). The activated carbon from orange peels was obtained by carbonizing the biomass and its activation with H3PO4 acid solution. The OP-Chitosan was prepared by immersing orange peels into chitosan-acetic acid gel. The OP biomass was characterized by ultimate analysis in order to determine the composition of main elements (carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen). Batch experiments were carried to analyse adsorption process over time and fit the experimental data to kinetic models such as pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, Elovich and intraparticle diffusion. It was found that elemental composition of orange peels biomass was C (%) 42.02, H (%) 5.44 % and N (%) 0.7. The pseudo-second order model best fits adsorption results for OPAC and OP-Chitosan with ,2 value of 17.27 and 17.24 mg/g, respectively. For OP biosorbent, pseudo-first order describes appropriately the data with parameter (,1) value of 18.21 mg/g.

“…By combining coho salmon aquaculture with the cultivation and feed utilisation of C. vulgaris, it may be possible to achieve a successful nutrient recycling in the system. C. vulgaris has been cultivated with wastewater obtained from farming ponds, previously sterilized using filters and autoclaves [11]; however, the cultivation of microalgae with sterilized wastewater within a full-scale cultivation system is challenging due to the high sterilization costs [12]. Tejido-Nuñez et al (2019) evaluated the influence of protozoa and bacteria on the cultivation of C. vulgaris, which was conducted with unsterilized effluent obtained from an aquaponics system.…”

The combination of aquaculture and microalgae cultivation with aquaculture effluent is a promising strategy, being economically and ecologically sustainable. This study explored the growth of Chlorella vulgaris and unintentionally cultivated microalgae with and without CO 2 injection. The microalgae were cultivated with aquaculture effluent at the rearing temperature of coho salmon (18.5°C). In addition, we conducted batch and semi-continuous cultivations with unsterilized aquaculture effluent, demonstrating the dominance of C. vulgaris. Carbon was the limiting factor for microalgal growth in the effluent, and CO 2 injection effectively enhanced the C. vulgaris growth. The highest percentage of C. vulgaris (over 99% of the total microalgal cells) was achieved by batch mode, by inoculating different amounts of C. vulgaris cells. This abundance resulted in the complete consumption of PO 4 3− in the effluent. A dominant semi-continuous cultivation of C. vulgaris, containing 82 mg/L of suspended solids, was achieved in 23 days. However, the occurrence of zooplankton grazing resulted in a sharp decrease of C. vulgaris. The cultivated C. vulgaris presented a high total content of amino acids, and the amino acid composition suggested that they could be efficiently used as protein sources for coho salmon.
