It has been a very hard problem to reduce solids especially suspended solids (SS) in recirculating aquaculture systems. Present description is based on the performance of trapping SS by the biofilter of Intensive Bio-production Korean (IBK) system which is originally developed for nitrification. We found out that this filter has an excellent capability to remove SS in addition to nitrification. Filter element used here is corrugated plastic roofing plates readily available in the market, and cheaper than specially developed and patented products. It is easy to maintain the system, and requires low power consumption to operate for the treatment of a large amount of water. With 2 pumps of 5 hp each, about 500 $m^3$ of water is treated per hour. Flow speed in the filter was 2.6 mm/sec on average. This low flow speed and very large amount of water treated are the reasons for very effective trapping of fine SS. Upon single pass through this filter, 74.5% of total SS and 40% of non-settleable SS were removed. Wherever this filter is employed in recirculating fish farms water keeps high clarity, this having also been empirically ascertained.

침지식 해수 순환 여과 사육 시스템에서 여과조 숙성과 넙치의 성장을 조사하였다. 생물 여과조가 숙성되는데 60일이 소요되었다. 사육 기간 중 수온은 17.5-25.1$^{\circ}C$, 염분은 30.1-33.5ppt, 용존산소는 7.25-10.49ppm, pH는 8.1-7.5를 유지하였다. 사육수는 매일 5% 범위에서 환수하였으며 사육수의 암모니아성 질소 및 아질산성 질소 농도는 각각 0.096-0.315mg/L 및 0.015-0.504mg/L이었으나, 질산성 질소는 질산화 과정이 지속되어 그 농도가 2.530mg/L에서 39.517mg/L까지 증가하였다. 사료 효율은 64.1-69.8% 이었고, 사육 밀도는 시험 종료 시 15.9kg/$m^2$이었다. 사육기간 중 Vibrio spp.는 검출되었으나 질병 발생에 의한 폐사는 없었으며 생존율은 97.1%를 나타내었다.
