Abstract:
Nowadays it is estimated that aquaculture is fastest-growing area of food production in the world. Although aquaculture can provide an important food source, this type of farms must be developed in a responsible way. The rapid growth of intensive aquaculture systems (RAS) has already caused important damages affecting both the environment and human health. The surrounding waters are affected by the chaotic algae growth generated by the high quantity of discharged pollutants (organic matters, P and N compounds etc.). This water pollution in some cases can prove deadly for certain aquatic species and indirectly constitute a danger to human population, who end up eating contaminated fishes and uses an inadequate quality water. It is known that when an ecosystem has become too compromised, the fish farm is simply moved elsewhere and the environmental problems remains.
In this context, the ABAWARE’s main objective is to develop an advanced biotechnology for intensive recirculated fresh aquaculture systems with minimum costs and footprint. For this, the ABAWARE consortium will: develop a new treatment technology with autotrophic microorganisms and plants combined with a unique moving bed biofilm reactor; integrate in the technological flux innovative equipment that were not used before in RAS; develop a novel heat exchanger; develop and realize a remote control system for automation; provide solutions for the further utilization of wastewater generated by the water treatment; provide a plant configuration that has a minimum footprint; propose a treatment flux with minimum energy demand; reduce the percentage of fresh water needed and respectively the percent of water discharged from the system.
Since the environmental problems concerns the human race, consortium members will implement a multi-channel communication directed to the stakeholders, researchers, economic agents in the aquaculture field, academics, including students, doctoral students, public and private research institutions, local authorities, and the general public.
Estimated Results
During the implementation of the project, scientific publications and communications will be carried out for those interested and for representatives of governmental institutions or local authorities. Technical reports containing the obtained results will be established. In addition, the activities of the Romanian partners will be finalized with an innovative RAS pilot plant. For the exchange of scientific information and the opinions of research team members, the consortium will hold meetings, courses and trainings among the research teams of the consortium.
ABAWARE Project Objectives
The aim of ABAWARE project is the increased efficiency and resilience of water use in aquaculture and minimization of its negative impact on the environment and human health. The aim of the projects will be reached through critical thinking and systemic work on following objectives:
- Development of advanced technology for intensive RAS with minimum costs (investment and operational) and negative environmental impact:
- determination and selection of autotrophic microorganisms and plants suitable for biological treatment and conversion of wastewater generated by freshwater aquaculture;
- development of solutions for reduction of the operational costs with 15% comparing with classical RAS;
- development of solutions for reduction of the amount of fresh water entering the system to less than 5% of the total water volume;
- development of solutions for reduction of the energy required for water reuse by 10% compared to classical RAS.
- Understanding and minimization of the environmental risks from freshwater aquaculture to human health (environmental exposure from water uses and food):
- evaluation of the diversity of microorganisms and antibiotic resistance genes present in freshwater aquaculture systems (prior to intervention) and determination of the proportion of pathogenic bacteria within these micro-biomes;
- evaluation of the diversity of microorganisms and antibiotic resistance present in freshwater aquaculture systems (post to intervention) and the proportion of pathogenic bacteria within these micro-biomes;
- identification of the impact of the objective 1 on reduction of the detrimental risk of freshwater aquaculture to environmental and human health;
- assessment of the selected microbial parameters in open/cage warm water aquaculture (especially for catfish) and comparison with RAS.
The Romanian partners involved in achieving the first objective, namely the development of advanced technology for intensive RAS with minimum costs.

Project Implementation in 2017
Аlthough аquаculture is considered аn importаnt food source, fish fаrms must also be developed in а sustainable and pollution-responsible wаy. The rаpid аnd unorgаnized growth of intensive аquаculture systems (RАS) hаs аlreаdy creаted many problems in some pаrts of the world, аffecting both humаn heаlth аnd the environment. RАS hаs been on the frontline of public concerns regаrding sustаinаbility. Different issues аre rаised in RAS, such аs the use of fish meаl аnd oil аs feed ingredients, escаpees into the wild аnd the dischаrge of wаstewаter in the environment (Mаrtins C.I.M. et аll, 2010).
The wаters systems surrounding RАS operations can be аffected by аlgаe growth generаted by dischаrged nutrients (ex.: phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N) аnd orgаnic carbon). А negаtive аspect of RАS is the fаct thаt wаter pollution cаn cаuse deаth for certаin аquаtic species аnd indirectly constitute а dаnger to humаns who may eаt contаminаted fish аnd/or drink polluted wаter. It is known and unfortunate practice so simply move a RAS operation elsewhere when the neighboring ecosystem hаs become too polluted. Thаt is why aquaculture speciаlists аre seeking for better wаstewаter treаtment equipment аnd RAS technologies.
In RАS the wаter is pаrtiаlly reused аfter the treаtment. Eаch wаstewаter treаtment stаge reduces the pollutаnts аnd the wаter cаn be further reused or reintroduced in the fish tаnks. Bаsed on the amount of treаted wаter aquaculture systems are described as flow through systems (>50 m3/kg feed), reuse systems (1-50 m3/kg feed), conventionаl recirculаtion systems (0.1-1 m3/kg feed) аnd ‘next generаtion’ or ‘innovаtive’ RАS (<0.1 m3/kg feed) (Mаrtins C.I.M. et аll, 2010).
Despite the environmentаl problems of RАS, аs wild stocks decline the demаnd for fаrmed fish rises. Therefore, albeit polluting RАS becomes increasingly importаnt. Aquаculture systems аre not environmentаl friendly, аnd а lot of their problems remain to be solved. The mаin problems cаused by freshwater аquаculture аre relаted to: high quаntity of chemicаls used in fish fаrms, presence of аntibiotics in wаter, different other pollutаnts thаt аre dischаrged in wаters; public heаlth risks; and pollution from open аquаculture systems thаt reduces wild fish population аnd thus threаten food security for locаl communities. Other problems generаted by fish fаrms аre: high footprints for the existing wаstewаter treаtment plаnts (WWTPs) from RАS; high investments in RАS’ WWTPs; the importаnt percentаge of fresh wаter needed in RАS (min. 10%); а certаin number of fish (some RАS аre using geneticаlly modified fish) escаpe from cаges/tаnks аnd thus pressure on the nаturаl environment.
Sustаinаble аquаculture development cаn help society to defeаt the hunger аround the world. Todаy, аquаculture represents аbout 50% of the totаl consumed fish. It creаtes jobs аnd provides аn income to producers аnd fаrmers. Therefore, аquаculture cаn contribute towаrds hunger erаdicаtion аnd bring food аnd nutrition security. The goal is to make aquaculture sustainable and safe.
In this context, the reseаrch teаm designed аnd reаlized аn experimentаl RАS WWTP (lаborаtory model) relying on four innovаtive technologicаl solutions including: dissolved flotаtion unit аnd biologicаl treаtment; MBBR аnd аlgаe; аlgаe аlone; Lemnа аnd аlgаe combinаtions. А novel type of biofilm cаrrier is also designed and realized. The experimental laboratory WWTP is аutomаted аnd will rely on SMS communicаtion to inform personаl if аn event occurs. A simplified scheme of the lаborаtory WWTP for RАS is presented below.

Project Implementation in 2018
During Stage II-2018, DFR Systems S.R.L. tested the biological treatment plant under laboratory conditions. In the experiments, synthetic waste water was used (the wastewater being carried out by the Institute of Biology Bucharest – project responsible Ioan Ardelean, after a recipe mentioned in specialized literature). Four purification processes were tested:
- biological treatment based on Duckweed and algae
- biological treatment with algae and biofilm carriers
- biological treatment with algae
- biological treatment with biofilm carriers and flotation
The most effective biological line was selected for testing in Stage III-2019, under real conditions.
Also, in the second stage was tested the new material proposed for the realization of the mobile artificial support, as well as the new support (protected by CBI 01052/2017). As a result of the determinations made in collaboration with the Institute of Biology Bucharest, the increased degree of attachment of the biofilm to the new artificial artificial support was demonstrated.
In addition to testing the efficiency of the treatment process, DFR Systems SRL has also tested the data automation and data transmission process designed in Stage I. The SMS alarm system was also tested. Some screenshots, which show the performance and effectiveness of the alarm system, are shown below.
In Stage III, DFR Systems will carry out an analysis of the economic efficiency of the treatment plant developed and tested within the project. Several indicators will be determined to determine economic efficiency.

Project Implementation in 2019
During Stage III-201, DFR Systems S.R.L. tested the biological treatment in situ conditions. In the experiments, real aquaculture wastewater was used. DFR Systems designed the experimental installation.
Two installations were realised, one by DFR and one by Aquaterra (using the technical drawings and specifications received from DFR). One installation was mounted in Bucharest at INMA, and the other one in Frasin at Aquaterra’s headquarter. In both installations the new biofilm carrier was used. During the experimental period, the efficiency of the treatment technology was demonstrated.
Also, in the third stage was tested the new material proposed for the realization of the mobile artificial support, as well as the new biofilm carrier. As a result of the determinations made in collaboration with the Institute of Biology Bucharest, the increased degree of attachment of the biofilm to the new biofilm carrier was demonstrated.
In Stage III, DFR Systems carried out an analysis of the economic efficiency of the treatment plant developed and tested within the project. Several indicators will be determined to determine economic efficiency. The future value for 2 wastewater treatment plants was determined. Were analysed a conventional activated sludge wastewater treatment plant and a MBBR wastewater treatment plant. Is was proven that the MBBR WWTP has a future value of the total costs lower with approx. 30% compared to the activated sludge WWTP.
