“…The key to biofloc systems is their manipulation of the carbon-nitrogen relationship in the ponds or raceways, stimulating the growth of the microbial community formed by bacteria, phytoplankton, zooplankton, uneaten feed and faeces remains, exoskeletons and other invertebrates (Avnimelech, 2009;De Schryver, Crab, Defoirdt, Boon, & Verstraete, 2008;Samocha et al, 2017), providing an increase in final weight, a higher growth rate and a reduction in feed conversion ratio (FCR) (Avnimelech, 2009;Pérez-Fuentes et al, 2013;Zhao et al, 2012). However, some studies indicate a deficiency in essential amino acids on bioflocs, such as methionine and lysine (Gamboa-Delgado et al, 2017;Valle et al, 2015), and polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (Ekasari, Crab, & Verstraete, 2010).…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the addition of Navicula sp. on the growth and fatty acids profile of Litopenaeus vannamei postlarvae in a biofloc system (BFT). Four treatments were used: BFT; BFT 2.5N (addition of 2.5 × 10 4 cells/ ml of Navicula sp.); BFT 5N (addition of 5 × 10 4 cells/ml of Navicula sp.) and BFT 10N (addition of 10 × 10 4 cells/ml of Navicula sp.), all in triplicate. The shrimp (1 ± 0.01 mg) were stocked at a density of 3,000 postlarvae/m 3 and fed with commercial feed. The diatom was added every 10 days, and at the end of 42 days, shrimp performance, water quality and proximal composition were evaluated. The BFT 5N and BFT 10N treatments had higher performance values, highlighting the values of productivity (2.30 and 2.42 kg/m 3 ) and specific growth rate (15.92 and 16.08%/day), which were higher than the other treatments. In addition, the highest levels of fatty acids were observed in treatments with diatom (BFT 5N and BFT 10N), indicating the benefits of Navicula sp. on growth enhancement and fatty acid content of L. vannamei postlarvae grown in biofloc systems.

“…Zero or minimal water exchange can increase waste and nitrogen compound concentration in shrimp cultivation systems (Krummenauer, Peixoto, Cavalli, Poersch & Wasielesky ). Faeces and uneaten feed are leading sources of inorganic nitrogen, which can be made available for shrimp nutrition by adding organic carbon to the water column, stimulating heterotrophic bacteria growth and the transformation of waste into microbial protein (Avnimelech ; Gao, Shan, Zhang, Bao & Ma ; Zhao, Huang, Wang, Song, Yang, Zhang & Wang ; Pérez‐Fuentes, Pérez‐Rostro & Hernández‐Vergara ; Xu & Pan ).…”

An indoor trial was conducted for 42 days to evaluate water quality, Vibrio density and growth of Litopenaeus vannamei in an integrated biofloc system (IBS) with Gracilaria birdiae. Four treatments were used, each in triplicate: Control (monoculture shrimp); IBS 2.5 (L. vannamei and 2.5 kg wet weight seaweed m À3 ); IBS 5.0 (L. vannamei and 5.0 kg wet weight seaweed m À3 ) and IBS 7.5 (L. vannamei and 7.5 wet weight seaweed m À3 ). Shrimp individuals (0.34 AE 0.01 g) were stocked at a density of 500 shrimp m À3 . No water exchange was carried out during the experimental period. Molasses was added once a day as an organic carbon source to maintain the C:N ratio at 12:1. The IBS significantly decreased (P < 0.05) dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) ranging from 19% to 34% (3.12-3.83 mg L À1 ), NO 3 -N ranging from 19% to 38% (2.40-3.16 mg L À1 ), Vibrio density ranging from by 8-83% (0.40-2.20 log 10 3 colony-forming units mL À1 ), and FCR ranging from by 20-30% (1.20-1.37), as compared to the control (4.73 mg L À1 , 3.93 mg L À1 , 2.40 log 10 3 colony-forming units mL À1 , and 1.74 respectively). Moreover, the IBS significantly increased (P < 0.05) crude protein in whole body shrimp, ranging from 8% to 13% (13.2-13.7% wet weight basis); as well as final weight, ranging from 25% to 32% (3.90-4.12 g), weekly growth ranging from 25% to 34% (0.59-0.63 g), and shrimp yield by 22-39% (1.72-1.96 kg m À3 ), as compared to control (12.1% wet weight basis, 3.12 g, 0.47 g, and 1.41 kg m À3 respectively). It can thus be concluded that cultivating Gracilaria birdiae in an IBS with L. vannamei can contribute to DIN and NO 3 -N removal, lower Vibrio density, increased crude protein in whole body shrimp, higher growth and yield parameters in shrimp culture.

“…Regarding the applications, in the past years, BFT has been used in grow-out phase for tilapia [9,10] and marine shrimp [11,12], nursery phase [13][14][15], freshwater prawn culture [16,17], broodstock formation and maturation in fish [18] and shrimp [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], and as aquafeed ingredient also called as "biofloc meal" [20][21][22]. In addition, recently BFT also has been applied in carp culture [23], catfish culture [24], and cachama culture [25].…”

Biofloc technology (BFT) is considered the new "blue revolution" in aquaculture. Such technique is based on in situ microorganism production which plays three major roles: (i) maintenance of water quality, by the uptake of nitrogen compounds generating in situ microbial protein; (ii) nutrition, increasing culture feasibility by reducing feed conversion ratio (FCR) and a decrease of feed costs; and (iii) competition with pathogens. The aggregates (bioflocs) are a rich protein-lipid natural source of food available in situ 24 hours per day due to a complex interaction between organic matter, physical substrate, and large range of microorganisms. This natural productivity plays an important role recycling nutrients and maintaining the water quality. The present chapter will discuss some insights of the role of microorganisms in BFT, main water quality parameters, the importance of the correct carbon-to-nitrogen ratio in the culture media, its calculations, and different types, as well as metagenomics of microorganisms and future perspectives.
