Nitrogen removal techniques in aquaculture for a sustainable production
TL;DR: The periphyton treatment technique is applicable to extensive systems, and the proteinaceous bio-flocs technology can be used in extensive as well as in intensive systems, which provide an inexpensive feed source and a higher efficiency of nutrient conversion of feed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The basics of bio-flocs technology: The added value for aquaculture
TL;DR: From the practical point of view for aquaculture, it is of interest to have microbial bio-flocs that have a high added value and thus are rich in nutrients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofloc technology in aquaculture: Beneficial effects and future challenges
TL;DR: In this review,Biofloc technology is a technique of enhancing water quality in aquaculture through balancing carbon and nitrogen in the system, with the added value of producing proteinaceous feed in situ.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arabinoxylans and inulin differentially modulate the mucosal and luminal gut microbiota and mucin-degradation in humanized rats

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that next to IN, LC-AX are promising prebiotic compounds by stimulating production of health-promoting metabolites by specific microbes in the proximal regions, so that prebiotics may potentially improve gut health along the entire length of the intestine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen removal from aquaculture pond water by heterotrophic nitrogen assimilation in lab-scale sequencing batch reactors.
TL;DR: The potential use of sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) as an alternative bio-flocs technology (BFT) approach in aquaculture was explored and the highest average poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) content was 16% on a dry weight basis for the acetate biomass.
