Shrimp farm effluents are one of the principal causes of eutrophication in coastal environments. Integrated processes of bioremediation involving the culturing of purifying organisms have been suggested, but very few studies have focused on microalgae. For that purpose evaluated the growth potential of Amphora sp. in the residual waters of shrimp farm activity fulfilled on the Paraíba State, Brazil. The experiments were performed using Conway medium as the control and wastewaters from shrimp farm at 100% concentrations. Amphora sp. demonstrated good growth in the shrimp farm effluents under test conditions, although less than that observed in the control medium. This diatom was found to removed 73.357 and 72.572% of PO₄⁻ and NO₃⁻, respectively, demonstrating a high mitigation potential for this type of effluent. Comparisons of the physiological responses measured by flow cytometry demonstrated higher cell densities of Amphora sp. in the control medium, but a higher lipid content was observed in Amphora cultured in shrimp farm effluents.
