Abstract
Conventional wastewater treatment has a difficult time removing inorganic constituents, particularly nitrogen and phosphorus, which are primarily responsible for eutrophication. These two elements are also valuable resources that microalgae assimilate into their biomass, creating valuable products. However, they are difficult to separate from water (Maurya et al., 2022). Daphnia magna are efficient filter feeders and graze on microalgae at high rates. Daphnia magna are also high value fish live feed. This study evaluated cleaning aquaculture wastewater using two microalgae strains, Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus dimorphus, which are then biologically harvested by D. magna. It also investigated the effects of hydraulic residence time (HRT) and the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio on the water treatment process.
