ABSTRACT
A Closed Aquatic Ecosystem (CAES) housed an aquatic plant Ceratophyllum demersum, zebrafish (Danio rerio), and microbes that were simultaneously obtained with the zebrafish, and it was used to study the operation of the ecosystem. The results indicated that the CAES can operate steadily for about 4 weeks. The dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, and conductivity values of the ecosystem regularly oscillated, while the total nitrogen of the water decreased and the total phosphate slightly increased. Additionally, the chemical oxygen demand (COD, a measure of organic compounds) of the water after the experiment increased to 39 times more than that of the water before the experiment. The meta-genomic data showed that the number of genera decreased by 38 % and the top 10 most abundant genera were almost completely different before and after the experiment, which demonstrated a great shift in the microbes during the operation process. These results suggested that although the CAES operated steadily during the 28-day experiment, there were more organic materials and less nitrogen in the water by the end of the experiment, which may have influenced the structure and operation of the ecosystem. Thus, it is necessary to remove superfluous plant biomass from the CAES and supply nitrogen to keep the ecosystem stable.
