Biofilters play a crucial role in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems by eliminating nitrogenous waste produced by aquatic organisms. They utilize nitrifying bacteria to transform toxic ammonia into nitrites, which are also harmful. Subsequently, other bacteria further convert these nitrites into harmless nitrates, ensuring water quality. Importantly, biofilters are engineered to remove pollutants rather than introduce nutrients into the system, making statement 3 inaccurate.
