Recent developments in aquaculture – A review
Summary
This review examined recent developments in sustainable aquaculture technologies including effective microbes, biofloc systems, aquamimicry, and black soldier fly protein supplementation as alternatives to conventional practices.
Abstract Towards the sustainable aquaculture production, more recent technologies have been developed in the past few years. The application of effectives microbes (EM) in controlling water quality, the application of biofloc technology, aquamimicry, black soldier fly (BSF) as supplemental protein feed, application of triploidy, polyploidy, vaccines, probiotic and prebiotic, Internet of Things (IoT) in monitoring the water quality in the farm operation, monosex culture and neo-female application also being applied in the aquaculture operation. The developments of these recent technologies were towards achieving the sustainable aquaculture production, prevention of the disease outbreak, help in increasing the yield of crops harvested as well as towards the green environmental developments. This review paper emphasizes the most recent technologies developed in aquaculture in the past few years until these days. The developments of the new technology in aquaculture also in order to support the sustainable development goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nation focused on SDG1 (no poverty) and SDG2 (zero hunger) from the increase of aquaculture production achieved through the recent developed technology. Ultimately, this review paper can generate new knowledge and information to the aquaculturist and aquafarmers on the new technologies and developments in aquaculture which could help benefit in the cultures operation and increase production in the near future.

Biofloc Application Using Aquaponics and Vertical Aquaculture Technology in Aquaculture: Review
This review examines biofloc technology as a sustainable aquaculture approach that uses microbial communities to improve water quality and reduce disease spread without requiring water exchange. Researchers discuss how integrating biofloc with aquaponics and vertical aquaculture systems can further enhance production efficiency. The study notes that while biofloc technology offers environmental benefits over traditional aquaculture, challenges like water quality fluctuations and microplastic contamination need to be addressed.
Biofloc Microbiome With Bioremediation and Health Benefits
Researchers reviewed the biofloc system, an aquaculture technology in which heterotrophic microbial communities form aggregates that naturally treat water and serve as a supplemental food source for farmed aquatic animals. The microbial communities in biofloc systems help maintain water quality by consuming nutrient waste while also boosting the growth, immunity, and disease resistance of the host organisms. The review highlights biofloc technology as a sustainable, cost-effective approach to aquaculture that reduces the need for water exchange and artificial feeding.
Multifunctional Applications of Biofloc Technology (BFT) in Sustainable Aquaculture: A Review
This review explores the broader applications of biofloc technology beyond its traditional use in aquaculture feed and water purification. Researchers found that microbial aggregates in biofloc systems can help remove microplastics and heavy metals from water through combined physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms. The study highlights the technology's potential for environmental remediation and circular resource management, though challenges remain in scaling up these systems.
From Waste to Resource: Algal–Bacterial Systems and Immobilization Techniques in Aquaculture Effluent Treatment
This review examines algal-bacterial symbiotic systems combined with microbial immobilization techniques as sustainable alternatives for treating aquaculture wastewater containing nitrogen, phosphorus, antibiotics, and heavy metals, with emphasis on simultaneous pollutant removal and biomass valorization.
Biofloc Technology in Fish Aquaculture: A Review
This review examines biofloc technology, a method of fish farming that uses beneficial microbial communities to improve water quality and fish health. While not directly about microplastics, the technology is relevant because it could reduce the environmental footprint of aquaculture and potentially limit fish exposure to waterborne contaminants. Healthier aquaculture practices may help produce safer fish for human consumption in an era of increasing water pollution.
