“…Large‐scale production of food fish is often done in cramped or limited spaces for various reasons ranging from ease of management to maximal use of limited resources for maximal output. However, these living conditions have their implications, one of which is ridding the water of ammonia that is excreted and highly toxic to the fish (Ogah, Kamarudin, Nurul‐Amin, & Edaroyati, 2020). To mitigate this, water used for commercial‐scale fish farming is periodically changed to avoid damaging and detrimental effects on the fish reared and by extension, the yield obtained (Oladimeji, Olufeagba, et al, 2020).…”

Aquaculture being the fastest-growing food-producing sector in the world employs different kinds of production systems (FAO, 2019). Among these systems, aquaponics is considered one of the most efficient and environmentally sustainable methods of the 21st century (FAO, 2014;; it is simply the combined culture of fish and plants in a recirculating system. Mainly, recirculatory aquaculture systems are designed to raise large quantities of fish in relatively small volumes of water by treating the water to remove toxic waste products and reuse again for fish culture (Rakocy & Hargreaves, 1993;Timmons et al., 2010;Verdegem, 2013). Although the nitrifying bacteria convert toxic ammonia and nitrite into less toxic nitrate in specialized filters called biofilters, however, if there are disturbances to the biofilter or ammonia production that exceeds the capacity for the
