Abstract

Abstract:

Ammonia is a pollutant that needs to be considered in the treatment of pond aquaculture discharge. The oxidation of ammonia in pond aquaculture mainly depends on ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, ammonia-oxidizing archaea and anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. This study briefly introduces the nitrogen metabolic mechanism of several ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms found in nature, and explains the ecological regulation mechanism of these microorganisms in pond aquaculture water from perspectives of temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, attached substrate and light, in combination with the characteristics of pond aquaculture ecosystem. Based on attached growth habits of ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms, kinds of pond aquaculture water purification technologies have been developed, which play a role in water purification to a certain extent. However, there are common problems such as large floor area required, high cost and low efficiency. At present, the application and research of ammonia-oxidizing probiotics and high-efficiency microbial reactors in pond aquaculture water treatment in China are still relatively underdeveloped. It is suggested to strengthen the screening and enrichment of low-temperature and high-efficiency ammonia oxidation strains in the future, and to promote research on compact microbial reactors for water treatment, as well as to enrich the means of ammonia removal from freshwater pond aquaculture water.

Key words: ammonia, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, ammonia-oxidizing archaea, attached substrate, light
