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:

Production Performance of African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus, burch) were Rearing with Biofloc technology
TL;DR: In this paper, an exploratory research to measure biological variables consisting of feed intake, feed utilization efficiency, feed conversion ratio (FCR), growth and survival of fish was done in the field, in Comal, Pemalang.

Culture of pacu Piaractus mesopotamicus in biofloc technology (BFT): insights on dietary protein sparing and stomach content
Tayna Sgnaulin,Sara Mello Pinho,Sara Mello Pinho,Emerson Giuliani Durigon,Micheli Cristina Thomas,Giovanni Lemos de Mello,Maurício Gustavo Coelho Emerenciano +6 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrated the technical viability of cultivating pacu in BFT systems, with a possible reduction of dietary protein from 27 to 22% CP, without affecting the growth performance of animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Temperature on Inorganic Nitrogen Dynamics in Sequencing Batch Reactors using Biofloc Technology to Treat Aquaculture Sludge
TL;DR: Ammonium reduction was seen on days 19, 17, 13, and 17 for the 15, 20, 25, and 30°C groups, respectively, indicating that the biofloc bacteria started to convert ammonium to microbial biomass on that day.

Effects of adding sucrose on Penaeus monodon (Fabricius, 1798) growth performance and water quality in a biofloc system
Huang Jianhua,Huang Jianhua,Qibin Yang,Zhenhua Ma,Falin Zhou,Yang Lishi,Jipeng Deng,Jipeng Deng,Shigui Jiang +8 more
TL;DR: The research showed that adding sucrose promoted biofloc formation and shortened the formation time; increased the number of heterotrophic bacteria and algae which might play a role in improving water quality by assimilating ammonia-N and other harmful substances in the water; supplemented food for P monodon growth; and reduced the feed coefficient.

Application of Biofloc in Aquaculture: An Evaluation of Flocculating Activity of Selected Bacteria from Biofloc
Nor Azman Kasan,Shaziela Mohamad Said,Nurarina Ayuni Ghazali,Nurul Fakriah Che Hashim,Zaharah Ibrahim,Nakisah Mat Amin +5 more
TL;DR: Assessment of the bioflocculant production by 13 marine bacteria which were isolated from the Integrated Shrimp Aquaculture Park owned by Blue Archipelago Berhad at Setiu, Terengganu suggested the bacteria that show best flocculating performance in terms of the highest flOCculating activity could be suggested as potential bioflOCculant agents in treating wastewater from aquaculture industry.

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.

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.
