Uses for faecal matter of salmon
June 18th, 2008 by Roberto CasarejosI´m looking for information related with alternatives to convert aquaculture waste into a valuable by product. Specifically I´m talking about faecal matter from salmon farms that could be taken out before it gets to the bottom of the sea.
I´d really appreciate if anyone can help me.

Nick Read, Chairman of the British Trout Association kindly emailed Finfish to make us aware of an EU research program designed to investigate the issue Roberto raised.
Nick said
Suggest you look at AQUAETREAT Project on the FEAP Website. This project dealt with ‘valorising’ fish farm waste. The short answer is that it will have problems with too much salt and phosphorous.
Thanks for the pointer Nick.
The site Nick suggests contains an array of useful resources covering filtering, water reuse, and use of solids including a manual on effluent treatment, training material, technical leaflets and presentations.
