Transforming aquaculture sludge into organic fertilizer: A new path for sustainable agriculture
From what is often considered a valueless by-product, sludge generated from seafood processing plants and shrimp ponds, a research team comprising Nguyen Thi Bach Kim, Le Hoang Viet, and Nguyen Vo Chau Ngan (Can Tho University) has demonstrated its potential as a feedstock for organic fertilizer production. Analytical results indicate that seafood processing sludge (SPS) possesses more favorable characteristics for composting compared to shrimp pond sludge (ShPS), thereby opening new opportunities for circular agriculture.
