26 Ungarn : resultater Effektiv næringsstoffjernelse: 1,3 kg N/ha, 130 kg P/ha and 7,500 kg COD/ha positivt energibudget forbrug af MJ energy (97% electric, 3% fuel) production af MJ fuel value - energy planter (pil, tagrør mm.) Produktion 1250 kg/ha fish (mainly common carp) 41 tons plant biomass Størrelse 36 ha 900 tons Kongeåens i dag 1,2 ha

27 Polen : Stør/Paddlefish lovende art i dam polyculture Summary Background Objectives Consortium Case studies Outlook

28 Karpe produktion i Polen Introduction Drawbacks TASTE ~ ha karpe damme Årlig production ~ t produktion kg/ha år semi-intesive production: gødning og foder 3 års produktion (50g, 250g, 1500g) >90% is monoculture of common carp additional fish species: bighead carp, silver carp, grass carp, tench, pike, pikeperch, european catfish, crucian carp

29 Traditionel karpe dam Polyculture: paddlefish fremfor bighead carp Ingen foder eller gødning

30 Principles Principles Common carp Silver carp Bighead carp Grass carp Tench Drawbacks TASTE Paddlefish

31 Benefits FISH STOCK Benefits Drawbacks TASTE

32 Polen: 3-damme modul Introduction Anvendelse af affaldsstoffer fra Landbruget Damme, flow-through, Polyculture

33 Introduction Part of the system A Zooplankton compartment B Filtrators part C Polyculture compartment D Sedimentation compartment CASCADING MODULE Description the compartment supplied with manure organic matter derived from the manure was main energy source for zooplankton and bacterioplankton development no fish stocked 33% of the total system area stocked with filtrating fish to utilize plankton developed in compartment A 17% of the cascade area stocked in polyculture of common carp, bighead carp, silver carp and grass carp nutrients and fish to utilize plankton developed in compartment A 25% of the cascade area acting as a sedimentation tank for suspended solids coming from part C 25% of the cascade area

34 Introduction EXAMPLE: 25 m3 gødning pr. Hektar Virker ikke om vinteren

40 Case study Case study Research questions - Effect upflow velocity - Effect of C : N ratio - foder - Effect plant protein diet - Effect on off flavour health and welfare

41 Innovation Conventional RAS Innovation

42 Innovation RAS with USB-MDR

43 Principles Results Sustainability parameters, resource use per kg harvested Principles Resource use Conventional RAS USB-MDR Fingerlings (#/kg) Feed (kg/kg) Electricity (kwh/kg) Heating (kwh/kg) Water (L/kg) Oxygen (kg/kg) Bicarbonate (g/kg) a Labour (h/mt) a) In practice the need for bicarbonate (alkalinity) is actually nihil when denitrification is applied.

44 Principles Sustainability parameters, waste discharge per kg harvested. Waste discharge Conventional USB-MDR Principles Nitrogen Solid (g/kg) Dissolved (g/kg) Phosphorus Solid (g/kg) Dissolved (g/kg) COD Solid (g/kg) Dissolved (g/kg) 41 7 TOD Solid (g/kg) Dissolved (g/kg) 50 8 CO (kg/kg 2 incl gas) TDS (g/kg) Conductivity (μs/cm)

50 Principles Light = major limiting factor for algae growth Phototrophic biofilms driven by light as energy source Principles SP = saturation point PI= photo-inhibition Full sunlight: light intensity 1700 μmol photon.m -2.s -1 (Richardson et al., 1983) Induction level of photo-inhibition highly variable

51 Effect of light on PTS performance Principles Periphyton: algal composition Principles * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Cyanobac teria ** ** ** ** ** * * * * * Significant differences: *P<0.05 **P<0.01 ***P<0.001 ** * Green algae Diatoms/Dinoflag ellates

52 Effect of light on PTS performance Principles Strong effect on water quality (selected parameters) Principles *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** In addition: From week 2, 90 L of water/system discharged each week DO and CO 2 concentration were also significantly improved by higher light int TAN and NO 2 -N concentrations maintained close to zero for both treatments

53 Effect of light on PTS performance Principles Principles Conclusions Light intensity does affect the performance of an ATS integrated in RAS in term of water quality: Better water quality achieved with higher light irradiances No effect on fish, at least for the difference in light intensity chosen Light intensity does affect the nutritional value of the periphyton produced Better nutritional value achieved with lower light irradiances
