| dc.description.abstract | This study aimed to determine the capability of aquaponics system in the removal of fish waste nutrients and evaluate the growth of red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa). Two treatments were used in this study namely T1 (lettuce with growing media) and T2 (lettuce without growing media). All values of water quality parameters fluctuated due to unstable weather. The water parameters, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and phosphorus showed no significant difference in both treatments except for pH reading of effluent in the afternoon which T2 (7.90±0.01ᵇ) showed higher mean compared to T1 (7.83±0.02ᵃ). The TAN, nitrite and nitrate of effluent in T2 (2.25±0.07ᵇ, 0.21±0.01ᵇ, 2.04±0.06ᵇ) showed higher mean compared to T1 (1.34±0.04ᵃ), 0.09±0.00ᵃ, 1.24±0.04ᵃ). The TAN, NH3 and NH4+of influent in T2 (2.50±0.19ᵇ, 0.21±0.02ᵇ, 2.29±0.18ᵇ) also revealed higher mean compared to T1 (1.43±0.04ᵃ, 0.10±0.01ᵃ, 1.34±0.03ᵃ). The study justified that growing media plays an important role in the removal of nutrients in the water though both treatments are suitable growing systems. | |
