Abstract
Treated wastewater (TWW) constitutes a sustainable water resource that has been used for aquaculture throughout Asia and the Far East. Sewage treatment plant (STP) use can reduce both the demand for freshwater and water costs in existing aquaculture operations, thus rendering fish production more profitable. Wastewater is one of the renewable water supplies that can save potable water. This study aims to evaluate the water quality of treated wastewater used in integrated aquaculture systems and monitor fish growth. For water quality, the physio-chemical characteristics of pH, temperature, chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved oxygen (DO), ammonia, nitrate content, and total suspended solids (TSS) were determined according to the procedures outlined in the Standard Method for Water and Wastewater Examination for two-phases. Based on the findings, all parameters for treated wastewater are suitable for fish survival with increased fish growth. The use of treated wastewater in aquaculture will give many benefits to all and can promote sustainable development goals in terms of water reused and cleaning the environment.
