Abstract

The Biofluc system is an efficient and effective nutrient replacement method that continuously recycles and refines these substances. The system is based on microbial growth in the breeding environment, which reduces or eliminates water changes in aquaculture systems. Recent years have seen the growth of biofloc-based aquaculture systems, as these systems are able to have the greatest environmental safety and even sustainable production in aquaculture while maintaining biosecurity. Bioflocks improve water quality by adding carbon, removing harmful nitrogenous substances, improving food use, and enhancing the efficiency of growth in aquaculture systems. Aquatic animals are naturally protected from pathogens by phytobiotics, which are plant derivatives that add natural compounds to their diets. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . .. . . .
