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

open access: yesAquaculture, 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
