Table 3 Water parameters, evaluated with the sensors, are shown above. In detail, T1 represents the water entering the cultivation unit, T2 the water leaving the cultivation unit, pH, and dissolved oxygen (DO). Environmental data, evaluated with a thermohygrometer, are shown below. In detail, Tmin represents the minimum temperature, Tmax the maximum temperature, RHmin the minimum relative humidity, and RHmax the maximum relative humidity. The units of measurement are shown in parentheses. The data are expressed as mean ± sd.
