Summary: High-throughput sequencing was used to study bacterial diversity in a Biofloc aquaculture system and its effect on digestive enzyme activity in Nile tilapia. The study found that the biofloc group had higher bacterial diversity and a different composition compared to the control group. Certain bacterial genera correlated significantly with enzyme activity. The biofloc microbiota provided enzymes that improved digestion and nutrient assimilation in the fish.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of Nile tilapia, freshwater shrimp, lettuce, and watercress in an aquaponic system using biofloc technology. The results showed that there were no significant differences in animal performance between the two treatments, and the use of biofloc technology in conjunction with aquaponics increased the fat content of Nile tilapia fillets and improved the control of nitrite production.

Summary: The study explored the ideal stocking proportion based on animal size for tilapia and tadpole polyculture, with adjusted initial sizes of the species leading to significant differences in results. The best outcomes were achieved with a 12.5% tilapia + 87.5% tadpole polyculture and tadpole monoculture, emphasizing the importance of suitable stocking proportions for successful aquaculture.

Summary: The study found that compared to the CW system, BFT can improve water quality, growth performance, and immune function. Decreasing the feeding rate significantly reduces the growth performance and immunity of the biofloc group, while stocking density has a significant reverse effect on growth performance. Additionally, reducing the feeding rate increases protein, ash, and moisture contents, while significantly decreasing lipid content. High survival rates were observed, with BFT showing potential for improved water quality, growth performance, and immune function of Nile tilapia fry.

Summary: This study evaluated the economic and growth performance of Nile tilapia populations from two distinct generations under two different stocking densities. The results showed that the genetically improved fifth generation (G5) performed better in terms of daily weight gain, slaughter time, and feed conversion ratio, and had lower total operating costs and higher operating profits. This demonstrates the importance of using genetically improved tilapia together with appropriate stocking density management to achieve better productivity and make environmentally friendly systems more economically viable.

Summary: The research aimed to achieve a masculinization protocol for Nile tilapia using 17 alpha-methyltestosterone at a concentration of 60 mg.kg(-1) in BFT systems, which resulted in a masculinization rate of over 94%. Animals in the BFT systems showed higher survival rates and uniformity compared to the clear water group, and the higher hormone concentration treatments had lower male proportions than the 60 mg.kg(-1) group.

Summary: The study suggests that supplementation of vegetable choline improves fatty acid profiles in the meat of Nile tilapia raised in a biofloc system. Specifically, the treatments with 800 and 1200 mg kg(-1) led to higher levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are desirable for consumers.

Summary: The study revealed that in-situ produced biofloc significantly increased the prokaryotic diversity in tilapia gut, while dietary supplementation of processed biofloc only changed the relative abundance of minor prokaryotic taxa. The growth-promoting effect was only detected in the in-situ biofloc treatment, while dietary supplementation of processed biofloc had no effect on fish growth performance.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of probiotic water supplementation on the performance of juvenile O. niloticus raised in conventional and biofloc technology systems. The results showed that the application of biofloc technology and the addition of probiotics significantly improved water quality, with the symbiosis of BFT-10:1 and B. subtilis probiotics achieving the best results. The use of BFT systems effectively increased the total bacterial count in culture water and gut microbiota. The control group exhibited the lowest villus height and width, crypt depth, and goblet cell abundance in the intestine.

Summary: The marine environment provides vast opportunities for aquaculture expansion, but the use of marine organisms as feed materials is not common practice. Underutilized marine organisms such as mussels, Ulva spp., and microbial floc can be cultured and used as aquafeed raw materials, but challenges related to environmental factors and food safety should be addressed.

Summary: The addition of microalgae in biofloc systems did not affect the survival, immune parameters, or hypoxia stress resilience of giant prawns. Alkalinity was significantly higher in the microalgae-added biofloc systems, but other water quality parameters showed no significant differences. In addition, adding Chlorella sp. and Ankistrodesmus sp. increased the particle size and altered the fatty acid profile of bioflocs without affecting the protein content.

Summary: This study evaluates the application of a biofloc system in protecting Pacific white shrimp from pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection. The results show that the biofloc system can significantly reduce the density and biofilm activity of V. parahaemolyticus, and improve the survival, growth, and immune response of the shrimp. This suggests that biofloc system could be an effective method to control vibriosis in shrimp culture.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
