Efforts are paid to increase production to meet the high demands in the growing aquaculture sector, which is included in agricultural activities. Here, wastewater from aquaculture production contains pollutants. Fish feces and pollutants formed by unconsumed feeds, that constitute the majority of the wastewater, cause an increase in the amount of suspended solids, nitrogenous wastes and phosphorus in the water. Conventional wastewater treatment is often used in aquaculture systems. However, sustainable solutions are needed for the protection of aquatic ecosystems and the reuse of water resources. The bioremediation method includes the removal, reduction and conversion of contaminated compounds by initiating the biological process. In this review, bioremediation methods that can be used in aquaculture, water quality management, treatment of waste and sludge originating from aquaculture systems are discussed. In addition, the importance of bioremediation in terms of sustainability in aquaculture and managing environmental effects was evaluated.
