Abstract This experimental investigation of a laboratory scale aquaponic system included testing of a biofilter with basil plant as the biofilter part on aquaculture water quality. Irridescent shark was selected as aquaculture species. The biofilter consist of natural biomaterials such as coconut husk, coco peat, and coarse aggregates. The experiment was carried out for three short water recirculation durations of 2, 3, and 4 h/day. The influent and effluent ammonia NH3, total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), nitrites NO2 and nitrates NO3 levels were measured and analysed. The results showed that the biofilter effectively removed NH3 (65 - 71 %), TAN (34 - 58 %), and NO2 (60 - 67 %) from the aquaculture water. The dissolved oxygen (DO) levels were maintained between 3 - 7.0 mg/l during all the recirculation durations. The significance of water recirculation period was assessed by calculating the differences between the means of water quality parameters with a statistical test named one-way analysis of variance (ANNOVA) with significant level P taken as 5 %, i.e., P ≤ 0.5. The effluent mean NH3 levels 0.030 mg/l, 0.033 mg/l, and 0.022 mg/l exhibited significant difference at 4 h/d periods while effluent TAN levels 0.81, 0.77, and 0.77 showed no difference with varying periods.

The present study aimed to assess the possible beneficial effects of the integration between bioflocs and periphyton to the Nile tilapia’s water quality and growth performance. There were four treatments with five replicates each: (1) Control: green waters, (2) Periphyton: substrate-based system, (3) BFT: bioflocs technology for aquaculture, and (4) Biophyton: integration between bioflocs and periphyton. Fish (1.63 ± 0.07 g) were reared for 10 weeks in twenty 250 L outdoor tanks. Two polyethylene boards were vertically set out in the Periphyton and Biophyton tanks as underwater substrates. The C: N ratios of water in the BFT and Biophyton tanks were adjusted to 15:1 with dry molasses applications. The concentrations of total ammonia nitrogen were higher in the Control and Periphyton tanks than in the BFT and Biophyton ones. On the other hand, the concentrations of reactive phosphorus were higher in the BFT and Biophyton tanks than in the Control and Periphyton ones. The fish final body weight, specific growth rate and fish yield have not differed between the tanks. The integration between bioflocs and periphyton has not brought clear benefits to tilapia culture on water quality and growth performance.
