“…Therefore, the introduction of prebiotics to the biofloc is thought to propagate beneficial microbiota, not just in the water, but also in the host's intestine to counteract the potentially hazardous pathogens. Recent research has been undertaken based on this hypothesis, the results of which indicated that the introduction of functional feeds into the biofloc significantly improved water quality, animal development, immunity, and survivability (Mandal, Das, 2018;Qiao, Chen, Sun, Zhang, Zhang, Li, Li, 2020). Researching of the effects of watermelon rind powder (WMRP) within the biofloc represents an innovative and interdisciplinary strategy; yet to be fully investigated.…”
