A Maximum 34% Substitution of Fish Meal by Soybean Meal Is Recommended for <i>Rhynchocypris lagowskii</i> Dybowski Cultured in Biofloc Systems: Evidence From Growth and Intestinal Barrier Function. [PDF]
In this study, glucose was used as the carbon source for the bioflocs in each group, with a carbon‐to‐nitrogen ratio (C/N) of 20 : 1. Juvenile Rhynchocypris lagowskii Dybowski (6.89 ± 0.02 g) were used as the experimental animals. Soybean meal (SBM) protein replaced 0.0% (CK), 17.0% (B17), 34.0% (B34), 51.0% (B51), and 68.0% (B68) of fish meal protein ...

Rearing European Eel (Anguilla anguilla) Elvers in a Biofloc System
European eel (Anguilla anguilla) elvers (initial body weight (BW) = 3 g) were raised in triplicate for 60 days in a biofloc system (BFT) at 21 °C. Data from the current first study evaluating this farming technology indicated that European eel elvers ...
