TL;DR: Planted wetlands exhibited significantly greater nitrate removal than unplanted wetlands (P<0.01), indicating that macrophytes are essential to efficient nitrate Removal, and a wetland planted with Penniserum showed consistently higher nitrates removal than those planted with the other four macrophyte, suggesting that macrophtes present species-specific nitrate removed efficiency.

TL;DR: The pilot-scale wastewater treatment system consisting of a free water surface (FWS) and a subsurface flow (SSF) constructed wetlands arranged in series was operated for around 8 months to examine system start-up phenomena and evaluate system performance in removing inorganic nitrogen and phosphate from aquaculture wastewater under various hydraulic loading rates.

TL;DR: A constructed wetland was technically and economically feasible for managing water quality of an intensive aquaculture system and always satisfied the discharge standards.

TL;DR: It is concluded that constructed wetlands can improve the water quality and provide a good culture environment, consequently increasing the shrimp growth and survival without water exchange, in a recirculating system.

TL;DR: A power equation, k(V20)' alpha MLR(-n), was proposed to correct the variation of the mass loading rate in estimating k( V) and thus in designing a constructed wetland.
