Conclusion
The removal of nutrients such as TN (~89%) and TP (~90 %) and higher lipid content in algae, highlights the bioremediation potential with biofuel prospects of the microalgal consortia grown in aquaculture wastewater. India has the distinction of having higher aquaculture production next to China, which results in the humungous generation of wastewater and decentralized diatom based microalgae treatment system will help in treating wastewater as well as aid in ensuring energy security through biofuel.
