Abstract The present study investigated the effectiveness of biochar as a water quality control agent and an alternative carbon source in a tilapia-based biofloc technology (BFT) system. Water quality parameters were measured following standard procedures ( APHA, 1998 ) and fish physiological indices were measured using designated ELISA kits.

Biofloc technology (BFT) improves skin pigmentation of goldfish (Carassius auratus)
Aquaculture, 2020Abstract This study evaluated the effect of biofloc technology (BFT) system and the astaxanthin supplementation on the productive performance and skin pigmentation of goldfish (Carassius auratus). The effects of two production systems (clear water and BFT) and two diets (with and without astaxanthin supplementation) were evaluated in a completely ...

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

Biofloc technology (BFT) for indoor rearing of Clarias batrachus (Linn)
International Journal of Frontiers in Science and Technology ResearchIncreasing human population trends from 1.5 to 6.4 billion, with a projected growth to 9 billion by 2050, necessitates production diversification, which has been estimated at 840 million, in order to prevent malnutrition. The natural resources, particularly the fish reserves in lakes, rivers, and oceans, are negatively impacted by the population's ...

The initial stages of rearing marine shrimp using biofloc technology (BFT) involve the biofloc formation process. At the same time, there is an increase in the levels of total suspended solids and a decrease in alkalinity and pH. This reduction of alkalinity and pH occurs due to the consumption of inorganic carbon by the autotrophic bacteria present in

The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of Nile and red tilapia cultured in intensive systems applied a combination of biofloc technology (BFT) and probiotics in earthen ponds with different methods to control the off-flavor problem. A growing-out experiment was conducted for 150 days in which both Nile tilapia (5.88 ± 0.59 g) and red ...
