“…A number of biotic factors, including stocking size and density, supplemental feed and natural food availability have been reported to affect biofloc production, efficiency and use for shrimp aquaculture (Xu & Pan 2014a;Zhu et al 2016;Esparza-Leal et al 2020). Abiotic factors, including temperature, oxygen, pH, alkalinity, light exposure, total nitrogen, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, also play a similar role in shrimp production in BFT systems (Hostins et al 2015;Pi erri et al 2015;. Some other culture conditions, such as the addition of carbon source (to maintain appropriate C/N ratio), water exchange and rearing substrates, are also of prime importance for optimal performance of shrimp and prawn in biofloc systems (Schveitzer et al 2013a;Huang et al 2017;Olier et al 2020).…”

“…Contrary to the above results, Piérri et al . (2015) found that juvenile white shrimp ( L. vannamei ) (5.6 g) in BFT system can be grown successfully at lower alkalinity. When the shrimp were reared at different alkalinities (40, 80, 120 and 160 mg CaCO 3 L −1 ), pH and TSS decreased at lower alkalinity, while survival and growth rate were not significantly affected.…”

In face of the shortage of, and competition with, land and water, the sustainability of aquaculture will have to depend on vertical development, through improving production environments, increasing productivity and enhancing aquaculture technologies. Biofloc technology (BFT) has emerged as new alternative for sustainable aquaculture, which could contribute to FAO Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to food security. Extensive research has been carried out on the development and application of BFT in aquaculture since early 1990s, with emphasis on shrimp culture. Over 40% of BFT publications in aquaculture were directed to shrimp farming. Therefore, I strongly believe that the accumulated knowledge on the applications of BFT in shrimp farming and the experience gained, especially during the last 10 years (2010–2020), are now more than worthy of critical review and analysis. This review summarizes the most update knowledge on the use of BFT in different marine shrimp and freshwater prawn aquaculture. Emphasis has been on factors affecting shrimp production in BFT systems, integration of biofloc‐based shrimp farming with other aquatic farmed species, nutritional value of bioflocs as a natural food or feed ingredient for farmed shrimp and prawn, the application of BFT in different rearing phases, the use of biofloc as a natural probiotics and their effects on shrimp health and physiological functions, economic considerations and commercial applications of BFT‐based shrimp aquaculture, and the major challenges facing shrimp farming in biofloc systems.

“…In general, FG genotype gained 68.5% more weight than HR genotype when fed vegetalbased diet. The relationship between feed intake and final biomass per dietary treatment was measured with the FCR indicator (Pi erri et al 2015) and values within the acceptable ranges were observed. According to FCR values, FG shrimp genotype had a higher feed efficiency than HR shrimp genotype, but FG shrimp genotype requires animal protein for higher final biomass.…”

Shrimp farming is supported by fast-growth and high-resistance genotypes. Protein requirement is important for shrimp perfomance. Fishmeal is the main source, but their limited production increase feed formulation costs for aquaculture. This study evaluated the effect of genotype and protein source on performance of two shrimp genotypes. Shrimps with fast-growth (FG) and high-resistance (HR) were randomly assigned to two dietary treatments (animal and vegetal protein) in a 2 Â 2 factorial design. A 36-day bioassay was realised in clear-water hyper-intensive system to compare FG and HR performance using three replicate tanks for each genotype and dietary treatment. Each tank was seeded with 10 shrimp with average initial weight of 2.03 ± 0.10 g for FG genotype and 2.07 ± 0.02 g for HR genotype, at a density of 250 shrimp/m 3. A weekly biometry was realised to monitor the shrimp performance. We observed a significant interaction (p < .05) between genotype and diet for shrimp growth performance. Compared with HR shrimp, FG shrimp showed higher growth and better feed efficiency. The maximum weight gain was recorded, FG shrimp was significantly higher than HR shrimp independently of protein source. Diet with different protein source significantly influence the performance of FG shrimp, while in HR shrimp there is no significant difference between dietary treatment. The comparison showed that genotype, diet and their interactions influenced the performance of Litopenaeus vannamei. This research may be useful for improving genetic selection programmes, reducing feed costs for shrimp industry and design-feeding strategies for shrimp genotypes. HIGHLIGHTS Litopenaeus vannamei genotypes respond differently to diet. Fishmeal reduction on diet is posible in shrimps with high resistance. Genotype and diet interaction influence shrimp performance.

“…The optimum temperature is 28–30 °C for sustainable shrimp aquaculture [ 47 ]. The pH is to be maintained in the range between 6.8 and 8.0 due to ammonia–nitrate-nitrogen conversion processes in Biofloc [ 48 ]. Probiotic bacteria depend on suspended solids as a substrate for adhesion and as a source of energy from carbon in Biofloc systems [ 49 ].…”

Globally, the shrimp farming industry faces increasing challenges and pressure to reduce the broken shrimps and maintain a healthier pond environment. Shrimps lack an adaptive immune system to combat invading pathogens due to an imbalance in beneficial gut microbiota. The use of top-dressing agents like probiotics and pond optimizes is an alternative strategy to improve the innate immune system leading produce disease-free shrimp in international markets. The cost of top-dressing agents is accounted for 20% of the production cost and therefore, the development of top-dressing automation technology is important to maintain and improve the financial and environmental viability of shrimp sustainable farming. This perspective described several sensor-based aquaculture technologies for on-farm management systems but sustainability in the aquaculture industry is not yet achieved in practice. The present technology is a new invention to reduce labor and production costs required for reducing bacterial and organic loads in Biofloc shrimp cultures. Aquaculture automation system disperses the top-dressing agents to the shrimp ponds based on the signals received from microbial and environmental sensors. Continuous monitoring of shrimp growth, mortality, immune responses, diseases, and pond water quality parameters will fetch larger profits with additional savings on labor and production costs for sustainable shrimp aquaculture in India.
