Managing nitrifying bacteria in biofloc culture of Pacific white shrimp
It is possible to maintain a microbial community in artificial substrates, after a period of absence of shrimp, aeration and even water.

Comparative experimental culture of pink and Pacific white shrimp in a biofloc technology system
Study shows L. vannamei are better suited to catch biofloc as a supplementary feed with better grow-out performance when compared to F. brasiliensis.

Colored LED lights can influence shrimp growth, water quality in biofloc culture
Pacific white shrimp reared with green and red lights grew much larger but showed little differences for survival, feed conversion or productivity.

Rendimiento del camarón blanco del Pacífico en biofloc con diferentes regímenes de luz
Un estudio determinó el rendimiento zootécnico del camarón blanco del Pacífico bajo diferentes regímenes de luz. Los camarones expuestos a la luz tienen mejores parámetros zootécnicos que aquellos con exposición reducida o nula.

Performance of Pacific white shrimp in biofloc with different light regimes
A study determined the zootechnical performance of Pacific white shrimp under different light regimes. Shrimp exposed to light had better zootechnical parameters than those with reduced or no exposure.
Innovation & Investment
Brazil study results encouraging for injector
Zero-exchange biofloc systems allow elevated stocking densities and production, but also require more dissolved oxygen and thorough water circulation. A new type of air injector uses only a centrifugal pump to recirculate water while naturally aspirating ambient air.

Ammonia addition enhances microbial flocs in nursery phase for Pacific white shrimp
In a study, “pre-fertilization” in the nursery phase of a biofloc system for shrimp was tested. The objective was to accelerate the biofloc formation to minimize ammonia concentrations, avoiding high peaks during culture.
