Problems and potentials of recycling wastes for aquaculture
The potentialities and problems of using thermal effluents and/or secondary sewage as inputs to a marine aquaculture system is the main focus of this study. The demand on coastal zones for both waste disposal and food production is complimented by the rising feed cost for raising fish and farm animals. In examining the advantages of a waste-food recycle system current and foreseeable problems, especially including those dealing with biological, social, political and legal matters become more recognizable and obtainable in deriving solutions. Economic planning, institutions of concern, consumer acceptance of waste-grown seafoods and marketing strategies are discussed. The state-of-the-art and potential development involving the use of thermal effluents in marine aquaculture, include the problems of thermal waste, aquaculture potential, and technical, biological and chemical problems. The use of domestic sewage and metal contamination are also major factors. (GRA)
