Abstract: Two microalgae,Isochrysis sp. HN and Amphora sp. BQW,were isolated from coastal seawater in Hainan and cultured with juvenile shrimp aquaculture wastewater. Results showed that both strains grew well in shrimp breeding wastewater. The relative growth rate of Amphora sp. BQW cultured in shrimp breeding wastewater was 3. 53 times higher than that of Isochrysis sp. HN. After 8 days of culture,Isochrysis sp. HN and Amphora sp. BQW removed the total phosphorus in the waste water by 30. 9% and 70. 9%,the total nitrogen by1. 0 % and 28. 7% and the nitrate nitrogen by 72. 0 % and 85. 7%,respectively. However,nitrite nitrogen concentration in the wastewater was not significantly removed after the waste water was treated with the microalgae,and the ammonia nitrogen concentration in the waste water increased obviously after the treatment.
