Sustainable Intensification of Aquaculture through Nutrient Recycling and Circular Economies: More Fish, Less Waste, Blue Growth (2021, background): “Ammonia can be found in water in non-ionized form (NH3), which is toxic to many species at concentrations higher than 1.5mg l 1 (Crab et al. 2007), with an average acute toxicity value of 2.79mg NH3 l 1 for freshwater species (Randall and Tsui 2002).”
Effects of C/N ratio and substrate addition on natural food communities in freshwater prawn monoculture ponds (2010, background): “In C/N controlledperiphyton basedponds (CN20+P) the added carbon source, together with the waste nitrogen was converted into microbial floc, which in turn can be eaten by the cultured freshwater prawn (Crab et al., 2007).”
Effect of carbon and nitrogen ratio (C:N) manipulation on the production performance and immunity of Pacific white shrimpLitopenaeus vannamei(Boone, 1931) in a biofloc‐based rearing system (2018, background): “Assimilating the waste nitrogen from culture water resulted in the production of new microbial biomass (cellular proteins) (Avnimelech, 2006; Crab et al., 2007; Ebeling et al., 2006).”
Biofloc technology in aquaculture: Beneficial effects and future challenges (2012, background): “Conventional technologies to manage and remove nitrogen compounds are based on either earthen treatment systems, or a combination of solids removal and nitrification reactors (Crab et al., 2007).”
Effects of addition of tilapia Oreochromis niloticus and substrates for periphyton developments on pond ecology and production in C/N-controlled freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii farming systems (2009, background): “, 2000), manipulation of C:N ratio (Hargreaves, 2006; Azim and Little, 2006; Crab et al., 2007; Avnimelech, 2007) and the combination of both C:N ratio and periphyton substrates in freshwater prawn ponds (Asaduzzaman et al.”
Traditional vs. Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture of Gracilaria chilensis C. J. Bird, J. McLachlan & E. C. Oliveira: Productivity and physiological performance (2009, background): “During the last 10 to 15 years, claims for the use of ecological engineering tools towards the development of a more sustainable aquaculture have increased (Chopin et al., 2008; Crab et al., 2007; Naylor et al., 2000).”
The basics of bio-flocs technology: The added value for aquaculture (2008, background): “Crab et al. (2007) gave an overview of the costs for different treatment techniques ranging from 1.1 € kg−1 of annual fish production in case of rotating biological contactors to 0.2 € kg−1 annual fish production in case of fluidized sand bio-filters.”
Evaluation of Biofloc Technology Application on Water Quality and Production Performance of Red Tilapia Oreochromis sp. Cultured at Different Stocking Densities (2012, methodology): “Crude lipid content with a range of 25-28% was by far higher than what has been measured in other studies that ranged from 2 to 5% (Azim & Little 2008; Azim et al. 2008; Crab et al. 2010).”
Suspended solids removal to improve shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) production and an evaluation of a plant-based feed in minimal-exchange, superintensive culture systems (2010, background): “Biofloc technology (BFT) has been described as a culture technique in which water quality is maintained and in situ animal feed is simultaneously produced in the form of biofloc particles (Crab et al., 2007).”
Evaluation of nitrogen uptake and excretion by tilapia in bio floc tanks, using 15N tracing (2009, background): “Dense and active aerobic microbial communities are manipulated so as to control water quality by the immobilization of ammonium into microbial protein and in order to recycle feed residues and raise feed efficiency (e.g. Avnimelech et al., 1989, 1992; Crab et al., 2007).”
