shrimp pond wastes

[D.R. Browne]

I am having difficulty tracking down wastewater treatment methods and
technologies for the treatment of shrimp pond effluent and wastes.  In
particular we are interested in methods to degrade/treate chitin wastes
and were wondering if a fermentation process was possible.  This is with
respect to coastal tambaks in Indonesia.

Any information or references would be greatly appreciated.

David.
