Application of Biofloc technology in aquaculture with an emphasis on ornamental fish
author
Abstract:
Biofloc technology (BFT) is a relatively new biotechnological means to support high density culture, maintain water quality, biosecurity, reduce the need for water exchange, reutilize the feed and reduce the production cost. This technology is mainly based on the principle of waste nutrients recycling (particularly nitrogen) into microbial biomass that can be used in situ by the cultured animals. In ornamental fish culture, rearing of larvae are the difficult-phase where the commercial ornamental fish farmer face a lot of difficulties due to low survival rate, water quality management and incidence of disease, these problems could be easily averted through Biofloc technology. Biofloc system is a new alternative that can be used in the culture of different ornamental species produced in country, if the nutritional requirements for each species are considered. In this review study, we will discuss on biofloc technology in Aquaculture with an emphasis on ornamental fish.

Biofloc technology application in aquaculture to support sustainable development goals
Biofloc technology (BFT) application offers benefits in improving aquaculture production that could contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goals. This technology could result in higher productivity with less impact to the environment. Furthermore, biofloc systems may be developed and performed in integration with other food production, thus promoting productive integrated syst...

full textApplication of Transgenic Fish Technology in Aquaculture
Organisms into which heterologous DNA (transgene) has been artificially introduced and integrated in their genomes are called transgenics. Since the mid 1980s, many species of transgenic fish have been produced by introducing desired foreign DNA into unfertilized or newly fertilized eggs by microinjection or electro-poration. More recently, transgenic finfish, shellfish, and crustaceans have al...
full textBiofloc Production Systems for Aquaculture
Biofloc systems were developed to improve environmental control over production. In places where water is scarce or land is expensive, more intensive forms of aquaculture must be practiced for cost-effective production. There are strong economic incentives for an aquaculture business to be more efficient with production inputs, especially the most costly (feed) and most limiting (water or land)...
