Flow-injection analysis for on-line monitoring of nutrients (ammonia and nitrite) in aquaculture

Abstract

This article describes photometric flow injection (FI) methods for the determination of ammonia and nitrite in aquaculture. The methods are based on the use of normal and reversed FI approaches and show the potential of this technique for monitoring the input and output streams of small tanks at young fish-breeding farms. The methods meet the requirements of fish hatcheries, particularly in terms of the high sampling rate allowable (40/h).
