“…The effects of bioflocs on growth promotion depend on shrimp species and developmental stage, feeding traits and floc density (Crab et al 2010;Avnimelech 2015). Most of these studies indicated that bioflocs significantly increased growth rates of penaeid shrimp and freshwater prawn during larval, nursery and grow-out phases, in semi-intensive, intensive and supper intensive farming systems (de Lorenzo et al 2016;Ren et al 2019;Lobato et al 2019). As mentioned above, shrimps can readily consume bioflocs as an additional protein source, resulting in a significant improvement in shrimp performance and meat quality and a reduction in production inputs.…”

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 the best‐case scenario, these systems offer the possibility of working under zero water exchanges (Monroy‐Dosta et al 2013). Also, working with BFT systems has allowed producers to increase their crop densities (de Lorenzo et al 2016; Xu et al 2016), doubling and tripling the production per unit area without sacrificing the individual size of fish or shrimp (Zhang et al 2018a), improving the immune system (Chen et al 2018) and the overall health status of the culture system by the action of probiotics contained in the biofloc mass (Ali et al 2016; Tepaamorndech et al 2018).…”

Aquaculture is an economic activity that faces the unavoidable problem of water quality detriment, which is mainly generated by the improper management of production ponds, including inadequate water circulation and aeration, accumulation of undigested food residues, excretion of metabolic by‐products by the cultivated organisms and other. In addition, the increase in suspended organic matter together with the presence and generation of nitrogen compounds can severely affect the physiology of the animal, leading to significant losses in production. Ammonia (NH3), nitrite (NO2) and nitrate (NO3) are toxic in different scales and environmental conditions; therefore, reducing their concentrations in the culture units has paramount relevance. In this regard, bioflocs are an efficient alternative to transform nitrogen compounds into a non‐toxic form, taking advantage of the capabilities of the microbial communities conforming them. Also, nitrogen can be harnessed and incorporated as organic nitrogen, making the biofloc a source of useful natural food for the cultivated organism. The substantial reduction in the rate of water exchange favoured by the biofloc technology (BFT) is a beneficial advantage for both the production systems and the environment, diminishing the risk of introducing pathogens into the pond in parallel with the improvement in the water quality of effluents. Ammonia oxidation is an advantage adding value to the BFT systems and is discussed in this review.

“…The linear fit, with an R 2 value 1 of 0.997, is shown below (Table 1 and Figure 2). We fit a linear trendline to the below data, provided by Treece [7], which gave us Grow out death, D 2 , as a function of shrimp concentration, (S 2 /V 2 ). Using our harvestable shrimp tank volume, V 2 =20,000 liters, we obtained the above equation.…”

We investigate a semi-contained, two-tank model for a Litopenaeus vannamei (White Pacific Shrimp) aquaculture farm. Our model simulates the possibility of a self-sustaining aquaculture system, with an interdependent triad of shrimp, algae, and bacteria. The two tanks are symmetric: the first containing developing shrimp through the hatchery and nursery phase and the second containing full grown shrimp through the grow-out phase. This system is modelled by six, first order differential equations. Using analytic and numeric techniques, we examine the dynamics and equilibria of this system as well as each of its individual components. This paper examines the effects of varying harvesting frequencies and magnitudes, and searches for an optimal harvesting strategy. Our analysis concluded that in the confines of our model, a technique of harvesting 81.5% of harvestable shrimp every 2 days provides a hypothetical optimal strategy. However, upon consideration of practical constraints, a harvesting strategy of 98% of harvestable shrimp every 10 days represents a real-world optimal harvesting strategy.
