Microplastics biodegradation by biofloc-producing bacteria: An inventive biofloc technology approach

Microbiological Research, 2023
Microplastics pollution has become a threat to aquaculture practices, as nearly all farming systems are saturated with microplastics (MPs) particles. Current research on MPs is limited considering their effects on aquatic organisms and human health. However, limited research has been conducted on potential cures and treatments.

Biofloc Technology - Aquaculture A Way Towards Sustainable

JOURNAL OF AQUACULTURE, 2023
Biofloc technology (BFT) is an eco-friendly technology for higher productivity and also for sustainable development. At present, the biofloc technology is most popular among fish farmers. In this technology toxic materials released from fish's viz., nitrate, nitrite and ammonia were converted to useful product i.e., proteineous feed by the microbes ...

A Qualitative and Biochemical Analysis of Biofloc from an Indoor Biofloc Technology System Culturing Oreochromis Karongae.

University of Zambia Journal of Agricultural and Biomedical Sciences, 2023
The structure of microbial communities in a biofloc Technology (BFT) system has a great influence on the optimal functioning of the system. This makes understanding the microbial composition in BFT of paramount importance. A study was conducted to characterise the microorganisms in an indoor biofloc technology system.

Advanced Biofloc Technology

2023
Egypt is on the edge of sinking into an abyss of issues that will slow down the country's rebirth due to its current array of unresolved issues. One major issue is the lack of technological uses in agriculture. To address this challenge, agricultural and aquacultural feedback systems can be implemented.

Evaluation of floc-harvesting technologies in biofloc technology (BFT) system for aquaculture

Bioresource Technology, 2020
This study was conducted to examine floc-harvesting performance by three separation technologies, namely sedimentation, centrifugation, and membrane filtration, for biofloc generated from a BFT system in aquaculture. According to the experimental results, sedimentation demonstrated the poorest harvesting performance with the lowest energy consumption ...

Does the biofloc size matter to the nitrification process in Biofloc Technology (BFT) systems?

Aquaculture, 2019
Abstract In addition to environmental factors, particle size can interfere with the nitrification process because smaller flocs are less efficient in terms of ammonia and nitrite oxidation. The objective of the present study was to evaluate, in three experiments, the effect of the biofloc size on the nitrification process during the production of the

Effects of carbohydrate addition strategy and biofloc levels on the establishment of nitrification in biofloc technology aquaculture systems

Aquaculture, 2020
Abstract The current study evaluated the effect of a carbohydrate addition strategy set at two biofloc levels on the establishment of nitrification in new biofloc technology aquaculture systems. Three carbohydrate addition strategies were chosen as follows: one-time glucose addition with 20:1 of the input C/N ratio, glucose additions at a C/N ratio ...

Biofloc technology in aquaculture: Beneficial effects and future challenges

Aquaculture, 2012
As the human population continues to grow, food production industries such as aquaculture will need to expand as well. In order to preserve the environment and the natural resources, this expansion will need to take place in a sustainable way. Biofloc technology is a technique of enhancing water quality in aquaculture through balancing carbon and ...

Nitrogen Dynamics and Biofloc Composition using Biofloc Technology to Treat Aquaculture Solid Waste Mixed with Distillery Spent Wash

North American Journal of Aquaculture, 2016
Abstract Distillery spent wash (DSW) and aquaculture solid waste were homogeneously mixed and treated using biofloc technology to use DSW as a component of the substrate for biofloc production. The proportions of DSW, expressed as the proportion of the total chemical oxygen demand (COD), contributing to the total substrate content in the

Biofloc-Copefloc: A Novel Technology for Sustainable Shrimp Farming

2018
For the last three decades, since the 1990s, aquaculture has become the fastest growing animal food-producing industry in the world (FAO 2014). It has experienced a tremendous growth in productivity during this period (Asche et al. 2008, 2013). Thus, aquaculture has been one of the most promising animal food-producing sectors, with the lowest feed ...
