Abstract Biofloc technology is much highlighted these days because of its tremendous effects on aquaculture. Microbes were enriched cheapest organic carbon source i. e., powdered banana peels and incorporated in different aquaria rearing grass carp fingerlings under C/N treatments (10:1, 15:1 20:1) 10% water daily exchange. The initial growth was recorded. experiment settled triplicates for 60 ...

Whereas wild specimens exhibit a red pink silver colour, under captivity red porgy (Pagrus pagrus) skin turns dark grey, being directly associated with lower acceptance by the consumers and lower market value. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of diet supplementation with two carotenoid sources, at two different concentrations, on growth and skin coloration. Fish of 44 g mean init...

Onfarm trial were conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding on pellets with different protein levels in the presence and absence of the bioflocs on water quality, survival and growth of the green tiger shrimp (Penaeus semisulcatus) in intensive types of shrimp culture systems. Five different feeds were formulated. Four biofloc treatments (BFT) and one control were managed in 10 greenhouses e...

Forty crossbred (Large White × Landrace × Duroc) female pigs (16.4 kg ± 0.94 kg) were used to investigate the effect of dietary lecithin supplementation on growth performance and pork quality. Pigs were randomly allocated to a commercial diet containing either 0, 3, 15 or 75 g lecithin/kg of feed during the grower and finisher growth phase. Pork from pigs consuming the diets containing 15 g and...

Shrimp is an important food source consumed worldwide. An intensive aquaculture system with overuse of feed in combination detrimental effects from climate change are serious problems leading to mass mortality cultured shrimp. Biofloc technology approach managing water quality and controlling the disease counter negative side culture system; however, most biofloc applications naturally formed, ...

The current study investigated the combined effects of carbon sources and commercial probiotics on common carp welfare in a biofloc-based system. Three hundred fingerlings (initial weight 43.2 ± 3.1 g) were distributed 12 tanks including control, PR + BFT (rice bran probiotics), PM (molasses PC (corn starch probiotics). After weeks, results showed that NNH3, NNO2, pH, dissolved oxygen decrea...

Abstract This study aims to determine the effectiveness of commercial probiotics (prod A, prod B, and C) on catfish growth, feed conversion ratio (FCR), efficiency in reared with a biofloc system. used completely randomized design (CRD) four treatments three replications. The were APB, LOB, MSC, control, replicates. results showed that provision culture using gave significant difference (P>0...
