Fish can be grown in ponds that receive effluent or sludge where they can feed on algae and other organisms that grow in the nutrient-rich water. Through feedingThe fish, thereby, remove the nutrients from the wastewater are removed and the fish are eventually harvested for consumption.'''

* Fertilization fertilization of fish ponds with effluent;* fertilization of fish ponds with excreta/sludge;and* fish grown directly in [[Aerated Pond|aerobic ponds]] (T.5 or T.6).

* Fertilization Fish introduced into aerobic ponds can effectively reduce algae and help control the mosquito population. It is also possible to combine fish and [[Floating Plant Pond|floating plants]] (D.10) in one single pond. The fish themselves do not dramatically improve the water quality, but because of their economic value they can offset the costs of operating a treatment facility. Under ideal operatingconditions, up to 10,000 kg/ha of fish ponds with effluent; can be harvested. If the fish are not acceptable for human consumption, they can be a valuable source of protein for other high-value carnivores (like shrimp) or converted into fishmeal for pigs andchickens.

* Fish grown directly ===Design Considerations=== The design should be based on the quantity of nutrients to be removed, the nutrients required by the fish and the water requirements needed to ensure healthy living conditions (e.g., low ammonium levels, required water temperature, etc.). When introducing nutrients in the form of effluent or sludge, it is important to limit the additions so that aerobic pondsconditionsare maintained. BOD should not exceed 1 g/m2/d and oxygen should be at least 4 mg/L.

==Adequacy=Appropriateness=== A fish pond is only appropriate when where there is a sufficient amount of land (or preexisting pre-existing pond), a source of fresh water and a suitable climate. The water that is used to dilute the waste should not be too warm, and the ammonia ammonium levels should be kept low or negligible. Only fish that are tolerant because of low dissolved oxygen levels should be chosen. They should not be carnivores and they should be tolerant its toxicity to diseases and adverse environmental conditions. Different varieties of carp, milkfish and tilapia have been successful, but the specific choice will depend on local preference and suitabilityfish. This technology is only appropriate for warm or tropical climates with no freezing temperatures, and preferably with high rainfall and minimal evaporation.

===Health Aspects/Acceptance=== Where there is no other source of readily available protein, this technology may be embraced. The quality and condition of the fish will also influence local acceptance. There may be concern about contamination of the fish, especially when they are harvested, cleaned and prepared. If they are cooked well, they should be safe, but it is advisable to move the fish to a clear-water pond for several weeks before they are harvested for consumption. WHO guidelines on wastewater and excreta use in aquaculture should be consulted for detailed information and specific guidance.

There may be concern with contamination of the fish, especially during the Sometimes after harvesting, cleaning and preparation of the fish. If pond should be drained so that (a) it is cooked well can be desludged and (b) it should can be safe, but it is advisable left to move dry in the fish sun for 1 to 2 weeks to a clear-water destroy any pathogens living on the bottom or sides of the pond for several weeks before they are harvested for consumption. Workers should wear appropriate protective clothing.
