Özet

In this research, which targets removing nutrients resulting from the metabolic wastes of fish and unconsumed feed from the environment in aquarium systems where fish, plants, and ground material are used in the same environment and use them as plant nutrients, it was aimed to determine the usage properties of zeolite, leonardite and diatomite materials on the growth parameters of the Vallisneria sp. plant. The study was conducted in three stages for 8 months. Trial groups were formed by adding the adsorbent mixture of the feed having a 40% protein value to the first group (G1), the adsorbent mixture of the feed having a 33% protein value to the second group (G2), and the adsorbent mixture without feed to the third group (G3). When the SGR values at the end of the experiment were compared, there was no statistical difference between the G1 and G2 groups, which contained 40% and 33% protein (P>0.05). On the other hand, both groups (G1, G2) showed significantly higher (P<0.05) growth compared to the control group (G3). In this study, it was determined that the natural adsorbent mixture supported the growth of the Vallisneria plant for approximately 8 months and that adding adsorbent mixture enriched with nutrients is necessary at certain intervals.
