Oxidation of Ammonia in Fish Ponds to Nitrates Using Free and Immobilized Nitrifying Bacteria

Oxidation of Ammonia in Fish Ponds to Nitrates Using Free and Immobilized Nitrifying Bacteria

In fish farming, ammonia stands out as detrimental toxicant, with the potential to significantly impede growth and even lead to fish mortality. The adverse effects of ammonia exposure in aquatic environments primarily stem from elevated concentrations of unionized ammonium (NH3), which can readily...
