Abstract
⺠Flood/drain biofilters were compared to submerged biofilters for the treatment of marine aquaculture wastewater. ⺠Analysis of 16s rRNA and amoA genes by T-RFLP revealed distinct bacterial communities in the submerged and flood/drain biofilters. ⺠Removal of organic nitrogen and ammonia was higher in flood/drain biofilters. Removal of nitrites and nitrates was better in submerged biofilters. ⺠The use of combined flood/drain and submerged biofilters may offer the best solution to the treatment of aquaculture waste.
