As the effects of mariculture pollution become more problematic,
efficient and cost-effective means for aquaculture pollution
treatment are required. Bioremediation, an integral part of all Environmental
Biotechnology Program, explore the use of biological
mechanisms to destroy, transform or immobilize environmental
contaminants to protect potential sensitive receptors. The use of
living organisms (primarily microorganisms and plants) is emerging
as one of the most useful alternative technologies for removing
contaminants from the environment, restoring contaminated sites,
and preventing further pollution. The natural biological processes
can be explored to remediate nutrient-rich water by converting
nutrients into forms that can be more easily removed (Rönnberg
et al., 1992; Troell et al., 1997; Zhou et al., 2006; Rodrigueza and
Montaño, 2007)
