Does the biofloc size matter to the nitrification process in Biofloc Technology (BFT) systems?
Aquaculture, 2019Abstract 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
