Sustainable Intensification of Aquaculture through Nutrient Recycling and Circular Economies: More Fish, Less Waste, Blue Growth (2021, background): “…have a C/N ratio >10 (Mook et al. 2012), BFT can reduce ammonium concentration 20% faster than nitrification (Hargreaves 2006; Rahman et al. 2008; Avnimelech 2009; Crab et al. 2012) and 30% more economically than conventional biofilters (Van Den Hende et al. 2014; Ansari et al. 2017; Chatla et…”
Achieving sustainable aquaculture: Historical and current perspectives and future needs and challenges (2020, background): “…and provide better control of the culture environment, intensive pond-based systems have been developed in which oxygen is supplied almost entirely by mechanical aerators and wastes are jointly removed by complex communities of autotrophic and heterotrophic microorganisms (Avnimelech, 2014).”
Technological Advances that Led to Growth of Shrimp, Salmon, and Tilapia Farming (2016, background): “The shrimp industry has increasingly adopted advanced biotechnological practices like biofloc technology to promote heterotrophic bacterial growth within culture systems to ensure recycling of nitrogenous wastes (Avnimelech, 2012).”
Biofloc Technology (BFT): A Tool for Water Quality Management in Aquaculture (2017, background): “In biofloc system, the heterotrophic bacteria colonize the feces, molts, dead organisms, and unconsumed food to produce bacterial biomass, which is consumed by detritivores [8].”
