In recent years, in Korea, recirculating aquaculture technologies for intensive fish culture are increasingly being used to enhance production of a high quality aquacultural products all year around including seawater. In high density aquaculture system, the increase of protein and organic particulates by uneaten feed, feed waste and excreta of fish gives a bad effect in fish growth and environ...

Alicyclobacillus species are thermo-acidophilic bacteria that produce highly resistant endospores able to survive the processing temperatures of fruit concentrate manufacturing, including evaporation and conventional pasteurisation (86 ° 96 °C for ± 2 min). Alicyclobacillus endospores retain their viability in juice concentrates which, under favourable conditions, could germinate and multiply t...

Symptomatic disease by nontuberculous mycobacteria has been linked to potable water from institutional and domestic potable water systems. Potable water samples were collected from homes and institutions of patients with AIDS. Colonization of potable water with nontuberculous mycobacteria was demonstrated in 230 (15%) of 1489 samples collected from domestic and institutional water systems of pa...

A recirculating aquaculture system was developed to hold native fishes for experimental pumping trails at the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s Tracy Fish Collection Facility (TFCF), Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California. The TFCF operates to prevent the entrainment of juvenile and adult fishes, including endangered species, into the Delta Mendota Canal. TFCF uses louvers to direct into the colle...

Pilot-scale cooling towers can be used to evaluate corrosion, scaling, and biofouling control strategies when using particular cooling system makeup water and particular operating conditions. To study the potential for using a number of different impaired waters as makeup water, a pilot-scale system capable of generating 27,000 kJ∕h heat load and maintaining recirculating water flow with a Reyn...

Optimal operation of greenhouse crops requires an appropriate management of fertigation, especially when the availability and/or the quality of irrigation water are limited and/or there are environmental constraints, such as those derived from Nitrate Directive in Europe. The paper illustrates the main features of a decision support system (DSS) for the fertigation management in soilless cultur...

The recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) is a land-based facility, either open-air or indoors, that minimizes water consumption by filtering, adapting, and reusing water. Solid organic matter from fish waste food directly becomes needs to be eliminated because it source of increasing total ammonia nitrogen (TAN), suspended solids (TSS), dissolved (TDS), also has an impact on reducing oxygen (...
