“…Based on the index of bio-concentrating factors, P. stratiotes have been reported by Lu et al to be hyperconcentrated in the roots area for heavy metals like Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Zn and Pb [29]. According to Akhtar et al [25], 77.3% of Cr and 91.29% of Cu were removed during one month of treatment. Moreover, in E. crassipes, C. asiatica, I. aquatica, and S. molesta tanks, the TSS concentration levels were reduced to 96%, 90%, 73%, and 89.3%, respectively.…”

“…C. asiatica is able to trap 100% of TSS from water body and S. molesta's leaves and roots are highly efficient in accumulating and removing pollutants, especially heavy metals [22][23][24]. Akhtar et al [25] stated that E. crassipes and P. stratiotes efficiently removed heavy metals without showing any kind of damage or bad reactions to the metals.…”

The lack of clean water sources, due to the presence of pollutants in water, is a major issue in many countries, including Malaysia. To overcome this problem, various methods have been introduced, including phytoremediation treatment. Therefore, this phytoremediation study examined the ability of five aquatic plants—Centella asiatica, Ipomoea aquatica, Salvinia molesta, Eichhornia crassipes, and Pistia stratiotes—to remove three pollutants—total suspended solids (TSS), ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N), and phosphate—from aquaculture wastewater. Using wastewater samples, each containing 50 g of one of the plants, the pollutant levels were measured every two days for 14 days. The results showed a drastic decline in the concentration of pollutants, where C. asiatica was able to remove 98% of NH3-N, 90% of TSS, and 64% of phosphate, while I. aquatica showed the potential to eliminate up to 73% of TSS and NH3-N, and 50% of phosphate. E. crassipes drastically removed 98% of phosphate, 96% of TSS, and 74% of NH3-N, while P. stratiotes was able to eliminate 98% of TSS, 78% of NH3-N, and 89% of phosphate. S. molesta was efficient in removing 89.3% of TSS and 88.6% of phosphate, but only removed 63.9% of NH3-N.

“…In their review study, Akhtar et al [21] asserted that more than 400 plant species have been tested and proved to have the ability to remediate soil and water pollution. For a good phytoremediation process, an appropriate selection of plant species is an important tool to ensure optimal performance of remediation.…”

Environmental biotechnologies are a popular choice for using efficient, low-cost, low-waste, and environmentally friendly methods to clean up and restore polluted sites. In these technologies, plants (terrestrial and aquatic) and their associated micro-organisms are used to eliminate pollutants that threaten the health of humans and animals. They have emerged as alternative methods to conventional techniques that have become increasingly aggressive to the environment. Currently, all actors of the environment, whether governors, industrialists, or citizen associations are more interested in the application and development of these technologies. The present overview provides available information about recent developments in phytoremediation processes using specifically aquatic plants. The main goal is to highlight the key role of this technology in combating the drastic organic and inorganic pollution that threatens our planet daily. Furthermore, this study presents the valorization of aquatic plant after phytoremediation process in energy. In particular, this article tries to identify gaps that are necessary to propose future developments and prospects that could guarantee sustainable development aspired by all generations.

“…To overcome the problem of environmental degradation caused by waste production from aquaculture process (Dauda et al, 2019;Nizam et al, 2020), fish farming systems and technologies have been developed but are still high-cost (Yue & Shen, 2022). Plants and aquatic plants have been starting to involve in fish culture as bioremediation agents (Rostami & Azhdarpoor, 2019;Meera et al, 2021), phytoremediation (Akhtar et al, 2017;Ansari et al, 2020;Kumar et al, 2022) or esthetical material in ornamental fish aquarium and aquascape (Williams et al, 2012), and multi-crop material in aquaponic system (Gumelar et al, 2017). Involving live plants in fish rearing units could be an easier and cheaper alternative that can be done in order to improve aquaculture production performance.…”

This study aimed to evaluate the physiological performance and status of comet goldfish (Carassius auratus) in aquascape system with different aquatic plant species. Comet goldfish (6.5 ± 0.073 cm length and 9.1 ± 0.1 g weight in average) were reared in aquaria with 10 fish/L density per aquarium for 45 days. The results obtained a positive correlation between SR value and SGR value, followed by a significant different value among the treatments applied (P<0.05). Based on the total chromatophore cells, comet goldfish reared in aquarium containing aquatic plants had a significant different (P<0.05) on the total chromatophore cells compared to aquarium without aquatic plants (control). After blood glucose test, comet goldfish reared with aquatic plants consistently showed a lower blood glucose level than without aquatic plants. The liver SOD level of comet goldfish obtained a significant different value between fish reared with aquatic plants and without aquatic plants, while the MDA value on all treatments was insignificantly different. Also, increased total erythrocytes, total leucocytes, hemoglobin, and hematocrit were found on comet goldfish reared with aquatic plants. This study concludes that aquatic plants in rearing system can improve the survival rate, specific growth rate, health status of comet goldfish due to mutualistic symbiosis discovered between fish and aquatic plants. Key words: aquatic plants, comet goldfish, growth performance, and health status.
