Effects of small-scale sturgeon farming development on effluent quality (Case study: Sturgeon farms in Astara and Talesh)
This study was conducted in sturgeon farms along the Caspian Sea coast in Gilan province. The aim was to evaluate the quality of incoming water and effluent of 6 farms. Sampling was performed from April to December 2017. Turbidity parameter by turbidimeter, total soluble solids by TDS meter, orthophosphate and total phosphate by Ascorbic acid method of antimonyl tartrate, ammonium by initial generation distillation, nitrate by cadmium reduction method, dissolved oxygen with Winkler method, coliform bacteria were measured by MPN, oil and fat by gravimetric method and other parameters were measured by standard methods. There was a significant difference in the mean of the parameters in all centers. The average field phosphate was measured 0.17±0.05 mg / l, which was much higher than the WHO standard. Also, the average field effluent turbidity (29.69±1.60 Ntu) was slightly higher than the EPA standards WHO showed. Also, according to the obtained results, the average of total water-soluble solids showed values much higher than the standard of the World Health Organization with an average of 4466.07± 87.70 (mg/l). Another parameter considered in the present study was the average number of coliform bacteria in the effluent, which showed high values compared to the standard. Based on these results, treatment of effluent before its release into aquatic environments is recommended, which in addition to reducing the transmission of microbial contamination, minimizes the risk of atrophy and reduces the effects on the health of aquatic organisms.
