Mariculture wastewater treatment by nitrification requires a long start-up time due to high salinity stress. This study aimed to verify the faster start-up of a trickling filter (TF) compared to a moving bed bioreactor (MBBR) treating synthetic mariculture wastewater, and to investigate the feasibility of transferring mature biocarriers from the TF to a new MBBR (TF-MBBR). The nitrogen removal performance, biofilm physicochemical properties and microbial communities were investigated. The results obtained showed that, the TF started up 41 days faster than the MBBR, despite the richer microbial diversity in the latter. Lower biofilm roughness and protein content as well as higher adhesive force and polysaccharide content in the TF were obtained compared to the MBBR. Adhesive force was found to be negatively correlated with roughness (r= −0.630,p= 0.069). Transmittance assigned to amide II (1538 cm−1) and amid III (1243 cm−1) through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) determination was only obtained in the TF, which was likely related to the faster start-up.NitrosomonasandNitrospirawere detected as the predominant nitrifiers in both reactors. In addition, the new MBBR, incubated with the mature biocarriers transferred from the TF, had a satisfactory nitrification performance with no lag time. Interestingly, the transfer action increased the microbial diversity and made the biofilm physicochemical characteristics shift toward those of the MBBR. Taken together, the study confirmed that MBBR nitrification start-up can be accelerated via TF and biocarrier transfer.
