Research Abstract

We found toxic cyanobacteria such as Microcystis sp. in almost investigated fish ponds(including the experimental fish ponds of Maejo University) in North Thailand. Especially, the amount of toxin producing cyanobacteria in the catfish pond was much than that in the tilapia ponds. However we also found the high ratio of non-toxin-producing strains of Microcystis sp. in such fish ponds by a cyanotoxin microcystin analysis and qPCR for the microcystin synthetase mcy genes. A few amount of microcystin was detected from several fishes in the experimental ponds in Maejo University. On the other hand, musty odors substances produced by cyanobacteria were detected in many fishes and in many ponds. Therefore, because we thought that it is important to clarify such fish ponds using a bio-fence type biological filtration method, we conducted a preliminary experiment and mathematical analysis of purification process of the ponds. As a result, we presented that the bio-fence method should be developed as an adequate eco-engineering for safe fish production in aquaculture.
