Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are a new alternative to traditional approaches, allowing full control over the fish production conditions, while reducing water demand. The reduction of exchange leads an accumulation dissolved organic matter (DOM) that can have potential effects on quality, welfare and system performance. Despite growing awareness DOM in aquaculture, scarce scientific information exists for understanding composition transformation RAS. In this study, non-targeted...

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a complex mixture of compounds, which significant relevance in the context drinking water treatment. This importance stems from its well-established role as primary precursor potentially harmful disinfection byproducts (DBPs) when subjected to chemical processes. Characterizing DOM challenging task due inherent heterogeneity and wide range compounds it contains. Additionally, composition can vary based on source quality specific treatment processes employed....

The accumulation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) poses an issue in the management water quality from recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), but its characterization is often not detailed enough to understand DOM transformations RAS. In this study, we investigated application two distinct non-targeted data processing approaches using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (QTOF-MS) and software different algorithmic designs:...

The constant reuse of waters in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) together with the continuous addition organic matter from fish degradation components, faeces and non-consumed feed promote accumulation dissolved (DOM), particularly fulvic acids (FA), leading to yellow discoloration their waters. these RAS can have potential effects on its water quality, consequently health welfare. Thus, characterization FA is paramount for improving subsequently productivity RAS. In this study, a...
