“…Effective use of locally waste products from agriculture industry in biofloc and other technologies to obtain multi-layers benefit and better fish growth performance as waste minimization and water treatment in aquaculture industry. In this condition, aquaculture industries are suffering from high input cost, low return and environmental pollution threats (Deb, Noori & Rao, 2017). In the present study, the fish readily accepted the experimental diets.…”

This research was conducted to evaluate the partial replacement of plant sources by date waste meal (DWM) on growth, hematological and resistance of common carp. A total of 168 common carp fingerling (2.44±0.02 g) were randomly assigned to four groups in triplicate and fed for 12 weeks with substitution of plant sources by 5%, 10% and 15% of DWM and control diet. Some growth and feed utilization parameters including WG, SGR, CF, PER and LER were improved in group fed with 10% DWM; but, there were no significant differences (P>0.05) in growth and feeding parameters between different groups. The results showed that replacement of plant sources by DWM in diets did not affect MCV, MCH and all biochemical parameters while the fish treated with 15% WDM exhibited significantly decrease in RBC, Hb and neutrophil compare to the control and other groups (P<0.05). In addition, there were no significant differences (P>0.05) of Hct, MCV, MCH and all biochemical parameters between treatment groups. Resistance rate to acidy and thermal-salinity stress increased significantly in 5% DWM and control group (P<0.05), respectively. The present study indicates that DWM may be included up to 10% as a substitute for plant sources in common carp diet.

“…Despite the slight variation in temperature (decrease from 31 °C to 27 °C) and salinity due to torrential downpours during the second and fifth weeks, the growth of the mud crabs was not affect. Other water quality parameters (DO, NH 3 , alkalinity) also remained suitable for crab culture ( Deb et al., 2017 ; Rahman et al., 2017 ; Yu et al., 2016 ). Overall, the water quality parameters in all experimental ponds did not fluctuate significantly during the culture period, thus not affect the growth and survival rates of the crabs.…”

This paper reports the comparative growth, nutritional performance, and morphometric variation between wild and hatchery-reared juvenile mud crabs (Scylla olivacea) in earthen ponds. The crabs were fed daily with boiled tilapia paste at a feeding rate of 5-8% body weight for the first two weeks, followed by feeding with chopped eviscerated tilapia until termination of the experiment. Selected phenotypic trains, including carapace width (CW), carapace length (CL) and abdominal width (AW), were measured weekly. The protein content of the muscle (21.13%), gill (13.51%) and egg (43.28%) were significantly higher in the hatchery-sourced compared to wild female crabs (muscle ¼ 19.15%; gill ¼ 10.09%; egg ¼ 38.15%). Likewise, the hatchery sourced crabs exhibited higher lipid content in the muscle (2.45-2.51%) and eggs (7.51%) compared to the wild counterparts (muscle ¼ 1.45-1.47%; egg ¼ 6.15%). These findings suggested a superior nutritional quality of the hatchery-reared compared to the wild-sourced crabs. Although some selected phenotypic traits did not vary among the wild and hatchery-reared crabs (p < 0.05), their survival rates varied significantly depending on the stocking density (p < 0.05). Overall, the findings suggest that the growth characteristics of the hatchery produced and wild-sourced crab were similar, which will help to remove the misconception among the crab farmers about the hatchery seeds and promote diversification of the crab production system for long-term sustainability.

Biofloc technology (BFT) systems have been driven towards increased sustainability in the last decade. BFT depends on maintenance of the optimal carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio through supplementation with organic carbon sources. The types of carbon sources and addition strategies are critical considerations in BFT systems. Thus for the purpose of this review, a thorough search of the literature was conducted to gather relevant information from reliable sources, ranging from reputable journals to books and useful reports in the field of BFT. Keywords used for the literature search include: 'biofloc technology systems', 'carbon sources', 'solid carbon sources', 'effects of carbons sources', 'carbon source addition strategies', 'nutritional quality of bioflocs', 'carbon sources and water quality', 'C/N ratio in BFT', and 'carbon sources and bacterial community'. Among the several peer-reviewed articles, books and technical reports consulted, 147 (dated from 1987 to 2020) were relevant for the preparation of this review. The current review thus examines the subject of supplemental carbon sources in BFT systems and discusses the various effects of their application with respect to the culture organism, microorganisms, water quality and the nutritional quality of flocs. The benefits and challenges associated with the types of carbon sources used in BFTs are also presented. Suggested organic carbon sources and their addition strategies are provided, and further research directions are proposed.
