Biofloc contribution to antioxidant defence status, lipid nutrition and reproductive performance of broodstock of the shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris: Consequences for the quality of eggs and larvae (2016, background): “In the same way, numerous researches have noted that shrimp are healthiest and grow best in aquaculture systems that have high levels of algae, bacteria and other AC C EP TE D M AN U SC R IP T natural biota (Avnimelech, 2009; Kuhn et al., 2009).”
Effect of dietary supplementation of biofloc on growth performance and digestive enzyme activities in Penaeus monodon (2013, background): “Inclusion of biofloc as a dietary ingredient in shrimp diet found to improve the growth performance of L. vannamei (Ju et al., 2008b; Kuhn et al., 2009, 2010).”
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): “However, improvement of floc nutritional value (i.e., using different carbon sources or a mixture of phytoplankton and bacteria) needs further investigations (Kuhn et al. 2009).”
The Effect of Probiotics in a Litopenaeus vannamei Biofloc Culture System Infected with Vibrio parahaemolyticus (2014, background): “In this culture system, shrimp growth is stimulated through the absorption of microbial protein (Avnimelech 2009; Wasielesky et al. 2006) in the form of aggregates that are consumed by the shrimp as a source of nutrition (De Schryver et al. 2008; Kuhn et al. 2009; Schneider et al. 2006).”
Strategies to modulate the intestinal microbiota of Tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) in aquaculture: a review (2018, background): “Several reviews of alternative protein sources for tilapia have been published, and the authors refer to those works for a complete description of the alternative feeds in tilapia are as follows: El-Sayed (1999), Nguyen (2008), and Kuhn et al. (2009).”
Evaluation of Biofloc Technology Application on Water Quality and Production Performance of Red Tilapia Oreochromis sp. Cultured at Different Stocking Densities (2012, background): “…in the water forming what has been called “biofloc”, which eventually can be consumed in situ by the cultured animals or harvested and processed as a feed ingredient (Avnimelech 1999; Avnimelech 2007; Crab et al. 2007; De Schryver et al. 2008; Kuhn et al. 2008; Kuhn et al. 2009; Kuhn et al. 2010).”
Sustainable Intensification of Aquaculture through Nutrient Recycling and Circular Economies: More Fish, Less Waste, Blue Growth (2021, background): “In intensive shrimp pond cultures biofloc use has led to a net productivity 8–43% greater than conventional systems (Browdy et al. 2001; Kuhn et al. 2009, 2010; Emerenciano et al. 2012; Ekasari et al. 2014).”
The Application of Single-Cell Ingredients in Aquaculture Feeds—A Review (2020, methodology): “Various types of harvested microbial bioflocs have been produced, including those from specific pond-based production, sequencing-batch reactors, and recirculated aquaculture systems [75,76,206,207].”
Primary Nutritional Content of Bio-Flocs Cultured with Different Organic Carbon Sources and Salinity (2010, background): “Several studies noted that application of BFT has improved the production performance of several aquaculture species such as shrimp and tilapia (Avnimelech 2007; Kuhn et al. 2008, 2009).”
