Characterizing the bacterial community in bioflocs, culture water and intestines of GIFT tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) reared in a biofloc technology (BFT) system [PDF]

, 2020
Abstract GIFT Oreochromis niloticus was cultured in a bio-floc technology (BFT) system to identify the floral structure of the biofloc water and in the intestine of the fish. High-throughput sequencing technology was used to detect the microbes in the culture water, in the intestines and gills of farmed fish.

Application of biofloc technology in furfural residue wastewater treatment: insights into water purification, microbial composition, and animal survival trials

Avances
Biofloc technology (BFT) was utilized to mitigate the risks associated with furfural residue wastewater (FRW). After BFT treatment, the removal efficiencies for COD, TOC, NH₄⁺-N, NO₃⁻-N, and SO₄²⁻ were 94.2%, 94.3%, 100%, 89.5%, and 89.4%, respectively.

Aquaculture Systems Affect the Impact of Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Synbiotics on Growth and Immunity of Oreochromis niloticus: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
Probiotics reliably improve growth, feed efficiency, and immunity in Nile tilapia, with closed systems showing the most consistent benefits. ABSTRACT Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) aquaculture is expanding worldwide, yet disease, environmental variability, and the need for sustainable production remain major challenges.

Nutritional Value of Biofloc Meal for White Cachama (Piaractus orinoquensis): Effects of Inclusion Level on Digestibility, Growth Performance, and Protein Retention

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Biofloc technology (BFT) offers a sustainable aquaculture strategy; however, the value of its byproduct, biofloc meal (BFM), as a feed ingredient requires validation for key species. This study evaluated the use of BFM from a tilapia–molasses system as a feed ingredient for white cachama (Piaractus orinoquensis) juveniles.

Breeding and Seed Production of Aquaculture Species in Bangladesh: Current Status, Challenges and Prospects

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture has become one of the fastest‐growing food production sectors in Bangladesh and contributes significantly to food security, nutrition, livelihoods and the national economy. In Bangladesh, aquaculture mainly relies on the culture of major carps, catfishes and shrimp, which are also widely farmed across Asia and other parts of the ...

Effects of Carbon‐to‐Nitrogen Ratio in Biofloc System on Water Quality, Growth Performance and Haematological Parameters of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT A 10‐week indoor culture trial was carried out to assess the impact of various C/N ratios on the water quality, growth performance and haematology of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in a biofloc system. The experiment included four biofloc treatment groups with distinct C/N ratios (12:1, 15:1, 18:1 and 21:1) and a control group with a C/N

Optimizing Carbon Sources in Biofloc Technology for Sustainable Aquaculture: A Meta‐Analytical Review

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture intensification is increasingly constrained by high water demand, nutrient‐rich effluents and disease risk, increasing interest in biofloc technology (BFT) as a waste‐recycling, low‐exchange production model. However, BFT performance depends strongly on the carbon source used to adjust the carbon‐to‐nitrogen (C/N) ratio and ...

Biocontrol for Shrimp Disease: Comprehensive Review and a Bacterial Disease Biocontrol Practice

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Biocontrol is a key strategy for disease control, as it is environmentally friendly and widely applicable. This review elaborates on biocontrol in aquaculture, particularly in shrimp culture. Biocontrol in shrimp culture mainly relies on four strategies: (i) direct kill pathogen by Bdellovibrio or bacteriophages; (ii) suppression of intestinal

The Fragmented Landscape of Shrimp Life Cycle Assessments: Uncovering Methodological Dependence and Analytical Blind Spots

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 2, March 2026.
Reported environmental impacts of shrimp aquaculture from life cycle assessments (LCAs) vary by over fiftyfold. These discrepancies stem from methodological inconsistencies, which often outweigh actual differences in farming practices. Furthermore, areas of environmental concern including land use change, biodiversity, and toxicity impacts are excluded
