Growth and Feed Performances of the Nile Tilapia During the Fattening Stage Under Restricted Feeding in Biofloc Culture
Summary
Researchers evaluated the growth performance and feed efficiency of Nile tilapia raised in biofloc culture under restricted feeding rates of 1.2%, 1.4%, and 1.6% of biomass during the fattening stage, assessing how feeding restriction affects growth outcomes and water quality in the biofloc system.
The Nile tilapia was raised in biofloc culture to evaluate growth performance during the fattening stage and water quality dynamics. The current experiment was designed to test the effect of rearing tilapia under different restricted feeding rates amounted to 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6% of fish biomass compared to that of the control treatment, with a feeding level of 2.0% in biofloc culture. Treatments were equally replicated in duplicate tanks per treatment.

Tilapia nursery stocking densities in a chemoautotrophic biofloc system
Different nursery stocking densities of tilapia in a chemoautotrophic biofloc system using only inorganic carbon were evaluated, assessing effects on water quality, growth performance, and health indicators to optimize production efficiency during the nursery phase.
The Evaluation of Microplastic Reduction in Biofloc Aquaculture for Sustainable Nile Tilapia Cultivation
Researchers evaluated biofloc technology as a strategy to reduce microplastic levels in water and Nile tilapia tissues in aquaculture, using ecological risk assessment to evaluate residual contamination. Biofloc systems reduced MP concentrations in both water and fish tissues compared to conventional systems, supporting biofloc technology as a partial mitigation strategy.
The Impact of Biofloc on Fish Growth Indicators and Health Risks Assesment from Polyethylene Terephthalate Microplastic Contamination
Researchers evaluated how biofloc technology affects Nile tilapia growth performance and assessed health risks associated with PET microplastic contamination in biofloc aquaculture systems, finding that biofloc improved growth but did not eliminate microplastic-related risks.
Study on the dynamics of microplastics in the biofloc system for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) aquaculture
Researchers studied how microplastics behave in biofloc aquaculture systems — where beneficial bacteria clusters are used to improve water quality — finding that microplastics accumulate in both the bacterial clusters and tilapia tissues, with intestinal contamination rising sharply at higher plastic concentrations. The results show that biofloc technology does not protect fish from microplastic exposure and that plastic management is essential for safe aquaculture.
Growth performance and hematological, biochemical, and histological characters of the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus, L.) cultivated in an aquaponic system with green onion: The first study about the aquaponic system in Sohag, Egypt
This study assessed the performance of an aquaponics system combining fish cultivation with green onion production, examining water quality, fish health, and growth. The paper is focused on aquaponics system performance rather than microplastic contamination.
