【 摘 要 】

High density and high feeding volume are regarded as factors causing huge accumulations of Total Ammonia Nitrogen (TAN) in an aquaculture system. An uncontrolled TAN concentration in an aquaculture system can pose a threat to the reared organisms as an abrupt escalation of the toxic form of TAN (ammonia - NH3) may occur following the alteration of the water quality. Considering the potential of Gracilaria sp. and zeolite toward ammonia elimination, it would be a milestone interest to study the effect of Gracilaria sp and zeolite as an ammonia eliminator in aquatic environment. The result shows that Gracilaria sp. and zeolite significantly affect the reduction of TAN concentration (p
