Journal ArticleDOI
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.

The biofloc technology (BFT) in indoor tanks: Water quality, biofloc composition, and growth and welfare of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
M.E. Azim,David C. Little +1 more
TL;DR: Overall fish growth and production was poor in terms of commercial feasibility and a modified system design that would allow enhanced feed and biofloc utilization is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Suspended solids removal to improve shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) production and an evaluation of a plant-based feed in minimal-exchange, superintensive culture systems
TL;DR: It is shown that controlling the concentration of particles in superintensive shrimp culture systems can significantly improve water quality and shrimp production and an environmentally friendly and potentially economical plant-based diet can produce results comparable to a fish-based feed in super intensive shrimpculture systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of molasses as carbon source in limited discharge nursery and grow-out systems for Litopenaeus vannamei
Tzachi M. Samocha,Susmita Patnaik,Mike Speed,Abdul-Mehdi S. Ali,Josh M. Burger,Rodrigo V. Almeida,Zarrein Ayub,Margasanto Harisanto,Ami Horowitz,David L. Brock +9 more
TL;DR: Evaluating the effect of carbon supplementation on selected water quality indicators and shrimp performance in the nursery and the grow-out phases using the limited water discharge practice with molasses as carbon addition suggests that molasses addition resulted in rapid reduction of TAN and nitrite-nitrogen and could be used to prevent buildup of these compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial floc meal as a replacement ingredient for fish meal and soybean protein in shrimp feed
TL;DR: Microbial flocs produced in suspended growth bioreactors could offer the shrimp industry a novel alternative feed in this study using tilapia effluent and sugar as a growth media and no differences were observed between final survival rates between any of the dietary treatments.
