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:

Effect of biofloc technology on growth performance, digestive enzyme activity, proximate composition, and hematological parameters of Asian stinging catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis)
TL;DR: This investigation aimed to evaluate the effects of the biofloc system on growth, digestive activity, proximate composition, and hematology of Asian stinging catfish for 120 days.

Effects of stocking density on the productivity and nutrient removal of Agarophyton vermiculophyllum in Paralichthys olivaceus biofloc effluent
TL;DR: Results show that A. vermiculophyllum can grow and have the potential to remove nutrients in the biofloc medium at high nitrogen concentrations.

Los sistemas biofloc: una estrategia eficiente en la producción acuícola
Liliana Elizabeth Hernández Mancipe,Jorge Iván Londoño Velez,Karen Alejandra Hernández García,Laura Camila Torres Hernández +3 more
TL;DR: A positive effect has been found in the development and estimation of some defense mechanisms of the immune system of fish and shrimp, supporting their role as immunostimulant compounds.

INFLUENCE OF BIOFLOC MEAL ON THE GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF PACIFIC WHITE SHRIMP, Litopenaeus vannamei
TL;DR: It was concluded that between the different inclusion levels of dry biofloc supplementation and control diet tested, control diet (commercial shrimp feed C) exhibited highest growth followed by Litopenaeus vannamei juvenile reared in seawater.

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.
