Bioflocs Technology: Theory and Application in Intensive Aquaculture System
<p>Bioflocs technology (BFT) is one of the developing technology in aquaculture which aimed to improve water quality and to enhance nutrient utilization efficiency. This technology is mainly based on the conversion of inorganic nitrogen in particular ammonia by heterotrophic bacteria into microbial biomass which further can be consumed by ...

Biocontrol for Shrimp Disease: Comprehensive Review and a Bacterial Disease Biocontrol Practice
ABSTRACT Biocontrol is a key strategy for disease control, as it is environmentally friendly and widely applicable. This review elaborates on biocontrol in aquaculture, particularly in shrimp culture. Biocontrol in shrimp culture mainly relies on four strategies: (i) direct kill pathogen by Bdellovibrio or bacteriophages; (ii) suppression of intestinal

Green Proteins: A Sustainable Alternative to Animal‐Based Proteins for Global Protein Security
This study highlights the drawbacks associated with animal‐based proteins, such as their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, large‐scale land use, and worsening food insecurity. It suggests that green sources of proteins, including legumes, grains, seeds, leaves, and algae, are possible sustainable alternatives. Shifting towards these plant‐based

Water salinity during masculinization of Nile tilapia in biofloc system
Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different water salinity levels on the growth performance, survival, and masculinization rate of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) larvae in a biofloc technology (BFT) system. Seven salinity levels (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 g L-1) were tested during four weeks in the masculinization ...

ABSTRACT Feed costs and limited knowledge of feeding strategies are a major constraint to the sustainability of semi‐intensive Nile tilapia aquaculture systems in sub‐Saharan Africa. In semi‐intensive systems, Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) utilizes natural pond production and supplemental feed, but their relative contributions to growth remain ...

ABSTRACT Climate variability and environmental stressors increasingly undermine the productivity and stability of fisheries and aquaculture systems across regions. Although technologies, such as recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), integrated aquaculture–agriculture (IAA), Biofloc systems and solar powered hatcheries, have been promoted as climate ...
