“…Higher C/N ratios convert nitrogen more rapidly into potentially consumable biomass (Avnimelech, 1999; Panigrahi et al., 2018; Panigrahi, Sundaram, Chakrapani, et al., 2019) which confers the improved water quality and better growth and survival. Along with improving water quality, the biofloc also develop digestive enzyme activity by exogenous enzymes (Long et al., 2015; Xu & Pan, 2013; Xu et al., 2013) and immunological functions by immunostimulants (Cardona et al., 2016; Ekasari et al., 2014; Kim et al., 2014; Panigrahi, Das, et al., 2020; Panigrahi, Sivakumar, et al., 2020). Also, the biofloc can be reused for subsequent culture or supplemented with feed component thus reducing the release of nutrient‐rich water into streams (Krummenauer et al., 2011; Panigrahi et al., 2017).…”
