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:

Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) supplemented biofloc medium as alternative feed in common carp (Cyprinus carpio var. communis Linnaeus) culture
TL;DR: The potential of neem, Azadirachta indica (A. Juss), supplemented biofloc medium in replacement of costly feed for Cyprinus carpio culture vis-à-vis the environmental health of the system was investigated, which resulted in 17% more growth and higher mortality, parallel with improvement in feed conversion ratio and efficiency.

TL;DR: High dietary CBH:P ratio improved the growth performance of the shrimp, while high dietary Lip:P ratios improved the oxidative status of therimp, with the best performance obtained in shrimp subjected to 2.1 CBH-P and 0.3 Lip-P treatments.

TL;DR: Os resultados indicaram that a alta taxa de aplicacao de melaco (50%) no sistema de biofloco afeta o desempenho zootecnico, consumo of agua, tempo of sedimentacao e os indices hematologicos dos alevinos de tilapia do Nilo, prejudicando seu desenvolvimento.

Operating parameters affecting biofloc technology: carbon source, carbon/nitrogen ratio, feeding regime, stocking density, salinity, aeration, and microbial community manipulation
Mert Minaz,Aysegul Kubilay +1 more
TL;DR: Bio-floc technology (BFT) as discussed by the authors is a sustainable aquaculture method for pollution prevention that is based on the principle of reuse of nitrogen-based pollutants which are considered organic waste.

Integration of Marine Macroalgae (Chaetomorpha maxima) with a Moving Bed Bioreactor for Nutrient Removal from Maricultural Wastewater.
TL;DR: Findings indicate that the integration of the macroalgae C. maxima with MBBR could represent an effective wastewater treatment option, especially for marine recirculating aquaculture systems.

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.

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.
