Viljelemällä mikroleviä kalojen kiertovesiviljelyn jätevedessä siitä voidaan poistaa
ravinteita ja tuottaa niistä biomassaa. Menetelmää voidaan käyttää korvaamaan
perinteistä jäteveden käsittelyä ja kehittämään vesiviljelyn kannattavuutta. Tässä
työssä verrattiin kolmen eri viherlevälajin (Haematococcus pluvialis, Monoraphidium
griffithii and Selenastrum sp.) kasvua, ravinteiden poistoa, sekä rasvahappo- ja
aminohappoprofiileja, kun leviä kasvatettiin suodatetussa tai suodattamattomassa
kiertovedessä tai levien elatusaineessa. Monoraphidium ja Selenastrum -lajien
kasvunopeudet olivat pienemmät kiertovedessä (0.64 vrk-1 ja 0.50 vrk-1) kuin levien
elatusaineessa (0.72 ja 0.59 vrk-1), mutta Haematococcus-levän kasvunopeudessa ei
ollut eroa kasvuliuosten välillä (0.47 ja 0.51 vrk-1). Levien rasvahappokoostumukset
erosivat lähinnä oleeinihapon (18:1n-9) osuuksien suhteen, jotka olivat alemmat
kiertovedessä kaikilla levälajeilla. Aminohappoprofiileissa ei ollut suuria eroja
kasvuliuosten välillä. Kiertoveden sisältämien pieneliöiden vaikutusta leviin
testattiin vertaamalla suodatettua ja suodattamatonta kiertovettä. Levien
kasvunopeudet ja typen- ja fosforinpoisto eivät eronneet suodatetun ja
suodattamattoman kiertoveden välillä, mutta rasvahappo- ja aminohappoprofiileissa
oli jonkin verran eroja. Tuloksien perusteella levien kasvatusta kiertovedessä
voidaan suositella kiertoveden puhdistusmenetelmäksi, jonka avulla voidaan samalla tuottaa arvokasta biomassaa.

Microalgae cultivation in recirculating aquaculture system’s (RAS’s) wastewater
(WW) is a promising alternative to conventional WW treatment. Conversion of WW
nutrients into biomass could lead to new developments in aquaculture. In this
master’s thesis, I compared the growth, nutrient removal, fatty acid (FA) and amino
acid (AA) profiles of three green microalgae: Haematococcus pluvialis, Monoraphidium
griffithii and Selenastrum sp. grown in RAS WW and reference growth medium. WW
negatively affected the specific growth rate of Monoraphidium (0.64 d-1) and
Selenastrum sp. (0.50 d-1) compared to reference medium (0.72, 0.59 d-1, respectively),
while Haematococcus was not significantly affected (0.47 - 0.51 d-1). FA differences
between WW and reference medium were mostly driven by the increase of oleic
acid (18:1n-9) in reference medium (Haematococcus: 3.7 - 10.6, Monoraphidium: 4.1 -
11.5, Selenastrum: 6.3 - 17.0 mean% contribution). AA contribution profiles did not
present considerable differences between treatments. The effect of microorganisms
in RAS WW was tested by cultivating microalgae in filtered WW. Filtered and
unfiltered WW achieved the same specific growth rate and removal of nitrogen (N%
15 – 38%) and phosphate (P% 48 – 99 %) while minor differences were observed in
their FA and AA profiles. These findings support the use of microalgae as an
alternative technique for treatment of RAS WW while producing valuable biomass.
