Evaluation of Biofloc Technology Application on Water Quality and Production Performance of Red Tilapia Oreochromis sp. Cultured at Different Stocking Densities (2012, result): “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).”
Biofloc technology application as a food source in a limited water exchange nursery system for pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis (Latreille, 1817) (2012, background): “The bio£oc can contain high levels of CP and other nutrients such as essential fatty acids and amino acids (Azim & Little 2008; Ju, Forster, Conquest, Dominy, Kuo & Horgen 2008).”
The impact of stocking density and dietary carbon sources on the growth, oxidative status and stress markers of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) reared under biofloc conditions (2020, methodology): “Additionally, microbial flocs which are formed from different carbon sources act as a supplemental food source that constantly provide additional essential amino acids profile (microbial protein), polyunsaturated fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, and an external source of digestive enzymes (Avnimelec”
The utilization of sodium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate or hydroxide in biofloc system: water quality, growth performance and oxidative stress of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) (2017, background): “The TSS control is considered limiting for the high density system and, previous studies with BFT have demonstrated TSS values superior of 500 mg/L (Avnimelech, 2007; Azim and Little, 2008; Long et al., 2015).”
Performance of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei raised in biofloc systems with varying levels of light exposure (2013, background): “All rights reserved. availability of organic matter or substrate rather than light, giving rise to the potential for this system in indoor conditions (Azim et al., 2008).”
Floc contribution on spawning performance of blue shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris (2012, neutral): “(2008); Azim and Little (2008), Crab et al.”
