Comparing biofloc, clear-water and hybrid RAS systems as shrimp nurseries
This study compared three types of RAS nurseries for shrimp: biofloc (BF), clear-water (CW), and hybrid RAS (HY). Results showed that differences between treatments in terms of shrimp survival, mean harvest weight, specific growth rate, and feed conversion ratio were not significant.

Comparing biofloc, clear-water and hybrid RAS systems as tilapia nurseries
This study examined differences in fish performance and water quality dynamics between biofloc, clear water and hybrid systems as nurseries for tilapia.

Estudiando el crecimiento de camarón en diferentes sistemas de biofloc
Un estudio llevado a cabo con camarones juveniles (Litopenaeus vannamei) criados en sistemas experimentales de biofloc utilizó cuatro tratamientos. Los resultados indican que las diferencias en la gestión y la fuente de carbohidratos pueden llevar a disparidades sustanciales en el funcionamiento y la producción del sistema.

Testing shrimp growth in different biofloc systems
A study conducted with juvenile shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) reared in experimental biofloc systems used four treatments. Results indicate that differences in management and carbohydrate source can lead to substantial disparity in system function and production.

Indoor-raised shrimp find potential market in Kentucky test
By raising shrimp in a closed building, producers can increase biosecurity, produce shrimp more consistently, grow shrimp year-round and locate production centers near markets. Chefs and consumers were very accepting of whole fresh shrimp, offered at a farmers market, that was farmed indoors in Kentucky.

Biofloc trial results in fast shrimp growth, low FCR, high survival
A trial in a lined, greenhouse-enclosed raceway evaluated the use of a heterotrophic biofloc system equipped with aeration, supplemental oxygen injection and centralized heating to achieve good shrimp production.

Study: Lower biofloc concentration may improve shrimp production
In an experiment comparing two biofloc concentrations, shrimp grew larger and faster in low-solids, with no significant differences in survival, FCR or final biomass.

Shrimp sampling method improves stocking process
Accurate estimates of shrimp populations and size variability by sampling can help managers make informed decisions that reduce feeding costs and improve system performance.

Simple settling chambers aid solids management in biofloc system
A study examined the effects of removing suspended solids using side-stream settling chambers in a superintensive biofloc shrimp system. The chambers reduced nitrate-nitrogen and phosphate concentrations and improved shrimp growth rate and biomass.
