Edible Insects - Past, Present & Future, Review

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Food Science and Technology
Edible insect consumption has grown in popularity worldwide due to its high protein content and environmental sustainability. Despite their potential to ameliorate environmental difficulties, Western countries have been slower to adopt this practice than many Asian, African, and Latin American societies. Insects are extremely nutritious, including high

A Systematic Review of Biofloc Technology and Periphyton in Giant Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) Aquaculture

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Biofloc technology and periphyton‐based systems enhance the sustainable production of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). A PRISMA‐guided review (2005 – 2024) shows that BFT improves survival (75 – 78 %) and feed efficiency, while periphyton supports natural productivity in grow‐out.
