Photosynthetic suspended-growth systems in aquaculture
TLDR
The principle advantages of photosynthetic suspended-growth systems are lower capital costs relative to other recirculating aquaculture systems and increased control over stock management relative to conventional static ponds and the main disadvantage is the relatively low degree of control over water quality and phytoplankton density, metabolism, and community composition.About:

Development of phytoplankton communities and common off-flavors in a biofloc technology system used for the culture of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)
TL;DR: Phytoplankton biomass, as determined by concentrations of chlorophyll a in the water, gradually increased in all tanks over time and there was a positive correlation with off-flavor compounds geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol.

Effects of addition of maize starch on the yield, water quality and formation of bioflocs in an integrated shrimp culture system
TL;DR: It was shown that shrimp survival was higher in T3 and T4 than in T1 and T2, which also had the lowest feed conversion ratio and best economic performance, and the levels of nitrite-N were significantly lower at the end of the experiment than in other treatments.

Use of Microbial Flocs Generated from Tilapia Effluent as a Nutritional Supplement for Shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems
TL;DR: Recovering nutrients in a fish effluent to be used as a supplemental feed for shrimp culture could ease constraints (e.g., environmental issues and high production cost) that have limited the US shrimp farming industry in the past.

Evaluation of biofloc technology in pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus duorarum culture: growth performance, water quality, microorganisms profile and proximate analysis of biofloc
Maurício Gustavo Coelho Emerenciano,Maurício Gustavo Coelho Emerenciano,Gerard Cuzon,Adriana Paredes,Gabriela Gaxiola +4 more
TL;DR: In a 210d experiment, the potential of biofloc technology (BFT) was evaluated for Farfantepenaeus duorarum and suggested a higher presence of filamentous cyanobacteria followed by protozoa, nematodes and copepods.

Probiotic Bacteria as Biological Control Agents in Aquaculture
TL;DR: This review describes the state of the art of probiotic research in the culture of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and live food, with an evaluation of the results obtained so far.

Pond aquaculture water quality management
Claude E. Boyd,Craig S. Tucker +1 more
TL;DR: This work focuses on water quality and aquaculture in the context of ponds, and investigates the role of manure, water quality, and waste management in the development and management of these facilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon/nitrogen ratio as a control element in aquaculture systems
TL;DR: The addition of carbonaceous substrate was found to reduce inorganic nitrogen in shrimp experimental tanks and intilapia commercial-scale ponds and it was found in tilapia ponds that the produced microbial proteins are taken up by the fish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions between bacteria and algae in aquatic ecosystems
TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to examine the means by which algae and heterotrophic bacteria interact in planktonic systems and cite specific evidence from the literature for various types of interactions.

Regulation of gross growth efficiency and ammonium regeneration in bacteria by substrate C: N ratio1
TL;DR: Natural assemblages of marine bacteria were cultured on combinations of C and N sources (amino acids, glucose, and NH,‘) to span a range of substrate C: N ratios to speculate that C : Ns of available substrates in marine waters is > 10 : 1.
