The prospects of biofloc technology (BFT) for sustainable aquaculture development

Scientific African, 2021
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 ...

Biofloc Technology (BFT) in Aquaculture: What Goes Right, What Goes Wrong? A Scientific-Based Snapshot. [PDF]

Aquac Nutr
Aquaculture is a crucial industry that can help meet the increasing demand for aquatic protein products and provide employment opportunities in coastal areas and beyond. If incorrectly manage, traditional aquaculture methods can have negative impacts on the environment and natural resources, including water pollution and overuse of wild fish stocks as ...

Water-Use Efficiency and Physiological Responses of Juvenile Northern River Shrimp (Cryphiops caementarius) Cultured in Biofloc Systems Using Molasses and Chancaca as Carbon Sources [PDF]

Animals
Biofloc technology (BFT) is based on the reutilization of nitrogenous waste generated by cultured organisms through the biotransformation of these compounds primarily into microbial biomass, allowing a reduction in water exchange.

Dynamics of nitrogenous compounds and their control in biofloc technology (BFT) systems: A review

Aquaculture and Fisheries, 2021
Le contrôle des substances azotées toxiques dans les systèmes de technologie biofloc (BFT) est essentiel au succès de cette nouvelle technologie. Pour contrôler efficacement l'accumulation d'azote dans les systèmes BFT, il est important de comprendre d'abord la dynamique et les voies d'élimination de cet élément et de ses composés connexes de l'eau d ...

The biofloc technology (BFT) in indoor tanks: Water quality, biofloc composition, and growth and welfare of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) [PDF]

Aquaculture, 2008
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.
