MycoFiltro is a cutting-edge process aiming to close the loop for aquaculture industry. This modular bio-filter system can be installed to existing land-based fish farms, to recover nutrients from fish wastewater and convert them into sustainable proteins.
Wastewater from a fish tank is pumped through two compartments: 1) mycelium bed and 2) microalgae bioreactors, where these two microorganisms break-down contaminants and consume nutrients (e.g. nitrates and phosphates) to grow into mushrooms and micro-algae that can then be sold for human consumption and as a substitute to fish feed.
