  Phytoremediation of Aquaculture Wastewater: Duckweed (Lemna minor L.) as a Phytoremediator

  By Davies R. M., Kari W., Davies O.A.

  Abstract: Aquaculture systems discharge huge quantities of waste into the aquatic ecosystem, in the form of excretory products and excess feed. These have grave implications on physicochemical and biological quality of the receiving environment. The study aimed to determine potential of duckweed (Lemna minor L.) for phytoremediation of aquaculture effluent. Hundred grams (100 g) of duckweed was grown in 10 L aquaculture effluent for 7-, 14-, 21-, and 28-day retention period …
