“…Like the active regulation of clearance rate, filtration rate could be kept independent of food conditions. Turker et al (2003) found that the filtration rate of silver carp increased to the maximum value and re mained constant as suspended POC in the water column increased. In the present study, absorption rate was not related to TPM or f, and together with the downregulation of AE with increasing TPM, this indicates the presence of a post-ingestive regulative function in the feeding processes.…”

“…Assuming that absorption of inorganic matter through the digestive system is negligible (Cranford & Grant 1990, Turker et al 2003, clearance rate (CR; l h Oxygen consumption and nutrient excretion of silver carp were determined after the filtration measurements. To determine oxygen consumption (V O 2 ; mg h −1 ), each silver carp was placed in a sealed 50 l polyethylene chamber (experimental chamber); 3 other empty chambers without silver carp served as control chambers.…”

Fish farming activities have resulted in increasing nutrient pollution and subsequent deterioration of water quality in aquatic environments worldwide. Silver carp Hypophthalm ichthys molitrix can efficiently remove excessive nutrient pollution by filtering the suspended particulate organic matter. To evaluate the feasibility and capacity of using silver carp as biofilters to remove the wastes released from the farming of grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella, 3 mesocosms comprising grass carp and silver carp were developed. Carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) budgets of silver carp were measured every month from May to October in 2011. Owing to the changes in exogenous environmental conditions and autogenous physiological status such as water temperature, dissolved oxygen level and feeding behavior, the metabolic acquisition and expenditure of silver carp exhibited obvious temporal fluctuation. For a standardized silver carp with 30 cm body length, the average scope for growth of C, N and P were 54.83, 8.73 and 0.85 mg h −1 , respectively. Total nutrient assimilation capacities throughout the experimental period for C, N and P were 236.86, 37.70 and 3.67 g, respectively. Our findings show that silver carp with the coculture of grass carp provides an eco nomic and environmental win−win resolution to enhance aquaculture production and reduce organic pollution in water.

“…Filter-feeding and planktivorous fish can be used whether for direct algae uptake or for zooplankton harvest. A study by Turker et al (2003) shows, that Nile tilapia and Silver carp are more efficient in zooplankton removal, than reducing the algae content. The overall filtration efficiency in AAFW varies between selected organisms and their feeding mechanisms, food type and quality, as well as the environmental conditions .…”

Abstract. Eutrophication-promoting phosphorous loads originating from wastewater treatment plants are commonly controlled by chemical precipitation in the tertiary treatment phase. However, this approach is costly and generates additional waste. Therefore, inexpensive and sustainable methods for wastewater post-treatment are wanted. The artificial aquatic food-web that performs wastewater phycoremediation by algae and subsequent biomass harvest by filter-feeding organisms not only requires low energy consumption but also produces biomass for treatment process cost recovery. Still, the knowledge on its performance at different scales and under different climates are limited. In this review, the application possibilities of the artificial aquatic food-web for domestic wastewater post-treatment is discussed, focusing on its use in cold climate regions. Considering the reduced biological activity of aquatic organisms at low ambient temperature, possible solutions for its performance and prospect application at low temperatures are suggested. Finally, directions for future research regarding the practical use of artificial aquatic food-web are highlighted.

“…Cremer and Smitherman (1980) show agreement with the conclusions of Nie and Chiang (1954). In recent decades, more studies have been reported about the utilization of silver carp and/or bighead carp in managing algal community structure (e.g., Xie, 1996;Turker et al, 2003). However, the digestibility of algae by stomachless filter-feeding fishes has been debated (Xie, 1999).…”
