Summary: In-water remediation strategies, such as seaweed farming, have the potential to minimize the impact of excess nitrogen on marine ecosystems. However, understanding the spatial and temporal variability is crucial for successful implementation. Site-specific pilot studies are necessary before utilizing seaweed aquaculture as a tool for nitrogen bioextraction.

Summary: Olive mill wastewater (OMWW) is a major source of harmful and hard-to-degrade organic pollutants. This study evaluated the performance of a sand filtration and vertical flow constructed wetlands (VF-CWs) system in reducing the organic load of OMWW. The results showed that the combination of sand filter and VF-CWs significantly improved the removal efficiency of total COD, dissolved COD, and phenolic compounds.

Summary: Microplastics (MPs) are contaminants produced during the use and disposal of plastic products, posing a significant threat to human health. Efficient methods for removing MPs from water and wastewater treatment processes, such as membrane filtration, adsorption, coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation, bioremediation, and advanced oxidation processes, have been systematically discussed in this article. The characteristics, mechanisms, advantages, and disadvantages of these methods are highlighted. Future trends and challenges in the remediation of MPs are also proposed to achieve a more efficient, scalable, and environmentally-friendly approach.

Summary: This study evaluated the potential of using pumice amended sand media and lemongrass in constructed wetlands for efficient removal of organic matter, suspended solids, nutrients, and coliform. Results showed that the combination of 50% pumice amended sand media planted with lemongrass achieved the highest removal efficiency, while barren sand media had the lowest efficiency. Adsorption experiments for PO4-P showed promising results with pumice exhibiting a higher adsorption capacity compared to sand.

Summary: In recent years, the potential of polychaetes for bioremediation of aquaculture sludge has gained attention. This study evaluated the removal performance of Perinereis gualpensis fed with aquaculture sludge produced by a recirculating system cultivating Atlantic salmon. The results showed that P. gualpensis had a high removal rate of total organic matter and can be sustained with salmon sludge as the only source of food. Furthermore, the protein contents achieved by P. gualpensis meet the dietary protein requirements of several aquaculture species.

Summary: The characteristics and bioavailability of organic nutrients in wastewater impact nutrient loading to aquatic environments and eutrophication. Oxidation processes can reduce soluble organic nutrient concentrations and convert them into more biodegradable forms. OP treatments increase phosphorus bioavailability and change the composition of dissolved organic matter in effluents.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
