Abstract
The general characteristics of detritus‐based aquaculture systems are reviewed, where detritus is defined as particulate and dissolved organic matter. Basic criteria of water quality, nutrient cycles, fish stocking, and pond management practices are described. Public health considerations are important questions in the use of detritus in aquaculture, and some relevant management and risk estimation issues are discussed here.
