• Use of artificial substrates in the culture of Litopenaeus vannamei (Biofloc System) at different stocking densities: Effects on microbial activity, water quality and production rates (2013, background): “Some studies have reported that the periphyton adhered to the ubstrates can be used as a source of food for the shrimp (Abreu t al., 2007; Arnold et al., 2006; Ballester et al., 2007; Burford et al., 004; Thompson et al., 2002) and that the addition of artificial subtrates increases shrimp growth an”
• The importance of behaviour in improving the production of shrimp in aquaculture (2018, background): “Several studies have demonstrated that artificial 573 substrates could increase the food supplement for shrimp (i.e. enhance the colonisation of 574 epiphytic biota) (Thompson et al. 2002; Burford et al. 2004; Moss & Moss 2004; Arnold et 575 al.”
• Contribution of the natural biota associated with substrates to the nutritional requirements of the post‐larval shrimp, Penaeus esculentus (Haswell), inhigh‐density rearing systems (2004, result): “Previous studies have shown that the presence of substrates increased the production of the shrimp, F. paulensis and the freshwater prawn, M. rosenbergii (Tidwell, Coyle, Weibel & Evans 1999; Tidwell et al. 2002; Thompson et al. 2002).”
• Biofloc technology application as a food source in a limited water exchange nursery system for pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis (Latreille, 1817) (2012, background): “The great number of protozoaand rotifers may contribute to better shrimp performance in BFT treatments compared to the control (Thompson et al. 2002).”
• Biodiversity of Vibrios (2004, background): “, protozoan flagellates and ciliates, which in turn would be grazed by fish and/or shellfish larvae, improving their survival and growth (383).”
• Nitrogen removal techniques in aquaculture for a sustainable production (2007, background): “In addition, the drained water may increase the occurrence of pathogenic microorganisms and introduce invading pathogen species (Thompson et al., 2002).”
• Effect of biofloc technology (BFT) on the early postlarval stage of pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus paulensis: growth performance, floc composition and salinity stress tolerance (2011, background): “F. paulensis culture ( Thompson et al. 1999, 2002; Abreu et al. 2007; Ballester et al. 2007).”
• Nursery of the pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus paulensis in cages with artificial substrates: Biofilm composition and shrimp performance (2007, methodology): “Submersed substrates provide sites for the development of a microbial community comprised of autotrophic and heterotrophic microorganisms which can serve as food source for the reared animals and improve water quality (Langis et al., 1988; Ramesh et al., 1999; Thompson et al., 2002).”
• Importance of biofilm as food source for shrimp (Farfantepenaeus paulensis) evaluated by stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) (2007, methodology): “A 20-kHz frequency pulse was applied 6 to 8 times during 10–15 s, with equal intervals to prevent overheating the samples (Thompson et al., 2002).”
