Title: Applied Aquaculture Biofloc Technology
Description: The intent of this book is to provide a detailed and specific set of guidelines for
both aquapreneurs and researchers related to the application of Biofloc
Technology in aquaculture. The goal of the book is to remove the false claims
and untrue stories on biofloc from scientific point of view as it is applied to
aquaculture and to provide a guide for its accurate application. This book
discusses key issues related to both adoption and practices for aquaculture
businesses, how to monitor and assess quality and quantity of biofloc, and how
to manage the microbial composition and sludge reduction risk in the fish and
shrimp culture. The book works through the specific application of disease and
feed management tools for aquaculture from the perspective of this technology.
Particular attention is paid on comparing the prototypes of floc development and
evaluation on its efficacy in aquaculture. A section on application of biofloc
technology in research should assist aquaculture researchers to avoid common
mistakes. Additional chapter on design and operation of exsitu bioreactor models
provide a sense of more applicability in replacing fish meal.
