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.

The authors conducted a study to determine how reducing the protein content of a diet would affect the growth performance of L. vannamei reared in an experimental microbial floc culture system.
Health & Welfare
Microbial flocs consist of a variety of bacteria, fungi, microalgae and other organisms suspended with detritus in culture water.
Health & Welfare
In a study, microbial flocs contributed about 50 percent of feed material as dry solids and about 50 percent of the protein requirement of tilapia.
