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:

Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of different carbon sources on the nutritional value of bioflocs, a feed for Macrobrachium rosenbergii postlarvae
TL;DR: The results of the lab-scale experiment suggest that the choice of the carbon source used for growing bioflocs is of prime importance and that the prawns were able to feed on the bio flocs.

Effects of bioflocs on growth performance, digestive enzyme activity and body composition of juvenile Litopenaeus vannamei in zero-water exchange tanks manipulating C/N ratio in feed
Wu-Jie Xu,Luqing Pan +1 more
TL;DR: A 30-day feeding experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of promoted bioflocs on growth performance, feed utilization, digestive enzyme activity and whole body composition of Litopenaeus vannamei juveniles in zero-water exchange culture tanks.

Biofloc technology application as a food source in a limited water exchange nursery system for pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis (Latreille, 1817)
Maurício Gustavo Coelho Emerenciano,Eduardo Luis Cupertino Ballester,Eduardo Luis Cupertino Ballester,Ronaldo O. Cavalli,Ronaldo O. Cavalli,Wilson Wasielesky +5 more
TL;DR: Favourable nutritional quality of bio£oc wasmed, and enhanced growth and production of F. brasiliensis PL in bio £oc systems was enhanced.

Nitrous oxide (N2O) emission from aquaculture: a review.
TL;DR: It is suggested that aquaculture can be an important anthropogenic source of N( 2)O emission and two possible methods to minimize N(2)O emissions are discussed, namely aquaponic and biofloc technology Aquaculture.

Waste production in aquaculture: Sources, components and managements in different culture systems
TL;DR: There is a need to develop culture systems that will increase fish production with efficient waste management in order to limit environmental degradation resulting from aquaculture wastes and ensure its sustainability.

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.
