The role and effectiveness of monoculture and polyculture phytoremediation systems in fish farm wastewater.

ABSTRACT: Phytoremediation offers a sustainable solution to aquaculture pollution, but studies with critical evaluations of the treatment performances of macrophyte systems are limited. This study intended to evaluate the roles and treatment profiles of Spirodela polyrhiza (L.) Schleid. and Lemna sp. systems in terms of ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate (NH₃-N, NO₃ ^--N, NO₂ ^--N, PO₄ ^3-), chemical oxygen demand (COD), turbidity, and total suspended solids (TSS) on fish farm wastewater and to elucidate the rationale behind the removal of the pollutants and the changes in a raceway pond rig. The nitrogen and phosphorus removal in the Spirodela polyrhiza monoculture system outperformed the other configur
