Özet
Ammonia accumulation is a major constraint in freshwater aquaculture systems with limited water exchange, particularly before biological filtration becomes fully effective. Therefore, low-cost physicochemical buffering strategies are needed to control total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) under practical production conditions. To address this issue, the present study evaluated to the combined effects of natural bentonite and leonardite on ammonia removal and pH regulation in aquaculture systems. The experiment was conducted in a controlled freshwater batch system without live fish, where ammonia was generated from a single addition of commercial fish feed and consisted of eight treatment groups (B: 3 g bentonite, BL1: 2.5 g bentonite + 0.5 g leonardite, BL2: 2 g B + 1 g L, BL3: 1.5 g B + 1.5 g L, BL4: 1 g B + 2 g L, BL5: 0.5 g B + 2.5 g L, L: 3 g L, C: Control (no adsorbent)), each conducted in triplicate …
