Controlling Water Quality through a Biofloc Technology (BFT) in Aquaculture Production Systems

Proceedings of International Forestry and Environment Symposium, 2022
Information on dynamics of water quality is essential in fish rearing. The use of biofloc technology (BFT) improves fish production in regions with low water availability. This study was carried out to evaluate the use of locally available carbon sources to control total ammonia nitrogen and other water quality parameters in aquaculture production ...
