“…In comparison, Ng et al (1992) found reductions in nitrogenous compounds in treatment tanks containing E. densa, of 26% of the influent ). This is a greater reduction than found in the current study.…”

“…Such systems have also been used in the treatment of a wide range of industrial effluents including those from abattoirs (Finlayson and Chick, 1983), dairies (Tanner et al, 1995), piggeries (Tanner, 1994), chemical plants (Gillette, 1989) and acid runoff from mining spoil (Dawson, 1989). However, little work has been carried out on a botanical approach to the treatment of aquaculture wastewaters (Lewis et al, 1978;Ng et al, 1992). These are characteristically high in volume but low in nutrient content.…”

The aim of this study is to determine the role of different organic manures viz. raw cattle dung, poultry waste and vermicompost on the growth of V. spiralis in the container in open and shadow environmental condition.Experiment was conducted to study the role of different organic manures viz. cattle manure, poultry manure and vermicompost on the growth of V. spiralis in 100 g capacity pot for 28 days. All the manures were applied at the rate of 2 g pot -1 . Significant difference was not found among the treatments for water parameters, while significant difference was observed for nutrients of soil. Plastic pools manured with poultry and cattle manure did not show significant difference for final biomass, total length, number of leaf and runners of V. spiralis.It was concluded that the application of cattle manure with soil increase biomass, total length and produced good leaf quality of V. spiralis.

“…Such hatching systems vary widely in cost, ease of disinfection, portability, and ability to conserve water. They also pose several other difficulties such as pollution of receiving waters, sediment and algae buildup, variation in flow rate, and the need to be located close to a water source (Liao and Mayo 1974;Birkbeck and Walden 1977;Ng et al 1992). However, these systems do provide incubated embryos that have chemical cues to imprint to natal waters, which is important for migratory fishes (Holtgren et al 2007;Crossman et al 2009).…”

A Portable Freshwater Closed‐System Fish Egg Incubation System

et al. 2014

To identify fish eggs collected in the field to species, a portable closed‐system fish egg incubation system was designed and used to incubate and hatch the eggs in the laboratory. The system is portable, small in scale (2.54 × 1.52 × 2.03 m), and affordable, with the approximate cost of the system being US$8,300 (2012). The main tank is 678 L and holds a battery of up to 21 (egg) incubation jars. The system includes three independent water pumping systems to (1) provide aerated water to hatching jars, (2) filter and sterilize incubation water, and (3) provide temperature‐controlled water in the main tank bath and the incubation jars. The system was successfully used to incubate freshwater fish eggs to raise resulting larvae to the post‐yolk‐sac stage for three seasons (spring 2012, spring 2013, and fall 2013) over two consecutive years, at two different locations, enabling us to identify fish eggs to species by providing identifiable fish larvae from incubated fish eggs.
