Sažetak
To control the water quality in the intensive shrimp mariculture pond by uptaking the total ammonia-nitrogen with sterile Ulva sp., the growth rate of sterile Ulva sp. was experimentally measured and the influence of the rate on the water quality control evaluated.
The specific growth rate constant of the seaweed increased with the total ammonia-nitrogen concentration, photosynthetic photon flux density and operating temperature. Then the dynamics of ammonia-nitrogen in the modeled culture pond for the intensive shrimp farming in the tropical region were numerically simulated, in which the
seaweed was used to uptake ammonia-nitrogen. The seaweed could uptake ammonia-nitrogen effectively during daytime mainly due to the high intensity of sun light, and the total ammonia-nitrogen concentration in the shrimp pond could be kept very low. The
required seaweed density to control the total ammonia-nitrogen concentration less than the recommended maximum concentration of 1.0 ⋅ 10–3 kg N m–3 was estimated to be reasonable.
