2. Description of the Related Art Ammonia derived from excretions of aquatic animals is toxic to living organisms. Therefore, a method has been proposed in which ammonia is absorbed and removed using an adsorbent such as zeolite to prevent accumulation of harmful ammonia in breeding water. Is being done. However, in aquatic breeding, nitrifying bacteria adhering to the bred organism spontaneously grow and oxidize ammonia to nitrite and nitrate ions. If ammonia can be oxidized to nitrate ion, its toxicity will be reduced to 1/100 or less. However, it is highly toxic at the nitrite stage, and if it accumulates in this form, it will adversely affect breeding materials, especially small animals such as medaka and goldfish. It is known that mortality is caused by the accumulation of about 10 ppm of nitrite ions. Therefore, methods for preventing the accumulation of nitrite ions in the breeding water are being studied, and a mixed solution of nitrifying bacteria for accelerating the nitrification reaction is also commercially available. In addition, about the organic matter in breeding water, adsorption removal with activated carbon is common.

The nitrifying bacteria mixed solution is used in the form of providing a packed layer by adhering it to a carrier such as porous ceramics or cement sintering material. It takes a long time of about one month to complete, and it is difficult to adhere a large amount of bacteria to the carrier. Therefore, it is difficult to exhibit and maintain high performance in a limited volume. Further, in the case of a device that is used intermittently, such as an experimental facility, if the period during which fish and the like are not bred is long, the attached nitrifying bacteria will peel off, and the nitrification performance will decrease when the test is restarted. That is, before the reuse, the nitrifying bacteria must be re-adopted from the beginning, and the loss in the test process is large.

Can be. Although nitrate ions generated by nitrification accumulates in the circulation water, toxicity is 1/100 or less compared with the ammonia or NO 2, no problem.
In addition, nitrifying bacteria immobilized comprehensively and whose performance has been adjusted are highly preserved, and according to experiments by the present inventors, it has been confirmed that the performance is quickly restored even after storage at 4 ° C. for several months. In the process of adapting the performance of the entrapping and immobilizing nitrifying bacteria, the ratio of microorganisms in the entrapping gel increases, and almost all of the nitrifying bacteria eventually becomes a nitrifying bacteria gel.

(Breeding Water Purification Test) Using the aquatic organism breeding apparatus having the configuration shown in FIG. 1 in which the filling section 2 of the entrapping fixed nitrifying bacteria is formed using the entrapping fixing nitrifying bacteria gel produced as described above. A breeding water purification test was conducted by circulating an aqueous ammonium chloride solution simulating the breeding water of aquatic organisms under the conditions shown in Table 1. As for ammonia, 50 g of 2 g-N / l aqueous ammonium chloride solution was added at a rate of once per day. The increase in nitrification performance was adjusted by increasing the concentration of the added ammonium chloride aqueous solution. In the water quality analysis, the breeding water was sampled once a day, the ammonia concentration was measured, and the nitrification performance was evaluated based on the ammonia decreasing rate. For comparison, the above-mentioned nitrifying bacteria were attached and supported using a ceramic filter medium (silica-alumina spheres having a diameter of about 5 mm) as a carrier instead of the above-mentioned inclusive fixed nitrifying bacteria gel (the amount of cells attached was about 1 × 10 8 to 10 μm).
