The prospects of biofloc technology (BFT) for sustainable aquaculture development
As capture fishery sector continues to decline, aquaculture industry must be accelerated to bridge the fish supply gap especially in the developing countries. However, in most developing countries, aquaculture sector is characterized by low productivity due to inefficient technologies, hence the need for innovative aqua-technologies that can stimulate ...

The biofloc technology (BFT) in indoor tanks: Water quality, biofloc composition, and growth and welfare of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) [PDF]
The present study evaluates the biofloc technology (BFT) in light-limited tank culture of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Two biofloc treatments and one control were managed in 250 1 indoor tanks: BFT fed a diet of 35% crude protein (CP), BFT fed a diet of 24% CP, and clean water control without biofloc with 35% CP.
