Biofloc (TBF) es una nueva técnica utilizada en acuicultura, capaz de reducir los compuestos nitrogenados, remover los desechos producidos por los peces y servir como fuente de alimento, a partir de la adición de una fuente de carbono, manteniendo el control de la relación C:N en el agua. Por lo anterior, se propuso explorar el potencial del biofloc para el cultivo de alevinos de pez óscar (Astronotus ocellatus), utilizando tres tratamientos con tres replicas y 20 alevinos por unidad experimental, sometidos a diferentes relaciones C:N (15:1; 20:1 y 25:1), cada unidad en un acuario de 50 L con suficiente aireación. El peso inicial de los alevinos fue de 1,67±0,37g y talla de 4,50±0,36 cm, recibiendo un alimento comercial con 35% de proteína. Como fuente de carbono se utilizó melaza, adicionada semanalmente para mantener las relaciones C:N teóricas. Se evaluó las variables fisicoquímicas del agua (temperatura, oxigeno, pH, amonio, nitrito, nitrato, alcalinidad y sólidos sedimentables) y productivos de la especie (peso y talla), con cuyos datos se estimó incremento de peso y talla, tasa de crecimiento simple, conversión alimenticia y relación beneficio costo. Los valores de calidad del agua fueron similares en todos los tratamientos. Los resultados demuestran que el BFT puede reducir eficientemente los compuestos nitrogenados en todas las relaciones probadas, siendo las menores concentraciones en la relación 25:1. En cuanto a variables productivas, se encontró diferencias significativas (p<0,05), sugiriendo que la relación 20:1 provee la mejor supervivencia (98,3%), conversión alimenticia (2,42±4,05), crecimiento en peso (9,78±4,80) y tasa de crecimiento simple (1,22±0,79 quincenal), en comparación con las otras relaciones probadas. De acuerdo con esto, la implementación de nuevas tecnologías amigables con el medio ambiente como el BFT es efectiva y altamente potencial para el control de la calidad del agua en especies con gran potencial acuícola, como el pez óscar. Palabras clave: calidad del agua, especies nativas, nitrificación, pez óscar, acuicultura, compuestos nitrogenados PRODUCTIVE COMPORTMENT FROM ALEVINOS OF OSCAR (Astronotus ocellatus) IN BIOFLOC WITH DIFFERENT RELATIONS CARBON:NITROGENABSTRACT Biofloc (BFT) is a new technique used in aquaculture, able to reduce the nitrogen compounds, remove the wastes produced by the fish and serve as a food source, from the addition of a carbon source, maintaining control of the ratio C: N in the water. Therefore, it was proposed to explore the biofloc potential for ostrich fish (Astronotus ocellatus), using three treatments with three replicates and 20 fingerlings per experimental unit, under different C: N ratios (15:1; 20:1 and 25:1), each unit in a 50 L aquarium with sufficient aeration. The initial weight of the fingerlings was 1.67 ± 0.37 g and a size of 4.50 ± 0.36 cm, receiving a commercial feed with 35% protein. Molasses, added weekly to maintain the theoretical C: N ratios, were used as the carbon source. The physicochemical variables of the water (temperature, oxygen, pH, ammonium, nitrite, nitrate, alkalinity and sedimented solids) and productive of the species (weight and height) were evaluated, with data estimating increase in weight and height, growth rate Simple, feed conversion and cost benefit ratio. The water quality values were similar in all treatments. The results show that BFT can efficiently reduce nitrogen compounds in all tested ratios, with the lowest concentrations being in the 25: 1 ratio. In terms of production variables, significant differences (p <0.05) were found, suggesting that the 20: 1 ratio provides the best survival (98.3%), feed conversion (2.42 ± 4.05), growth in Weight ratio (9.78 ± 4.80) and simple growth rate (1.22 ± 0.79 biweekly), compared to the other relationships tested. Accordingly, the implementation of new environmentally friendly technologies such as BFT is effective and highly potential for the control of water quality in species with great aquaculture potential, such as oscar fish.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) or glycerol (GLY) as a carbon source on biofloc systems of Nile tilapia (O. niloticus) juveniles. Fish (n = 750) were reared in open flow (Controls) or biofloc systems (B-GLY and B-MOS) fed with a plant or fish protein source over a period of twelve weeks. Total ammonia nitrogen and nitrate decreased in the biofloc groups, while biofloc volume increased in B-MOS. Compared to the controls, B-MOS and B-GLY exhibited higher weight gain and improved feed conversion, irrespectively of the diet. Serum level of C-reactive protein was reduced, while IgM and lysozyme activity was higher in the B-MOS fish, compared to other groups. Intestinal Bacillus spp. count was increased, whereas Vibrio, Aeromonas and Pseudomonas spp. counts decreased in B-MOS reared groups, compared to the other groups. The proinflammatory cytokine (IL-8 and IFN-γ) transcript expression was upregulated in B-MOS more than B-GLY reared groups. Compared to the controls, the virulence of Aeromonas hydrophila was decreased in the B-MOS and B-GLY groups. The results indicate several benefits of using MOS as a carbon source in a biofloc Nile tilapia system; a cost benefit analysis is required to assess the economic viability of this.

Optimum feeding schedule is one of the main things for the proper growth of fish and other animals. A study was conducted to optimize the effects of different feeding frequencies on growth performance and production of Rui (Labeo rohita) under pond cage culture system in Rajshahi, Bangladesh. Labeo rohita with an average weight of 302.23±4.07g (mean ± SD) were randomly stocked in 9 cages at 30 fish/cage in all the treatment. Fish were fed (4% of body weight) a commercial floating feed with three different feeding schedules: feeding of fish thrice daily in T1treatment; twice in T2 treatment and once in T3 treatment. Water quality parameters were measured during the study period. The physico-chemical parameters of pond water were within suitable ranges for fish culture in cages. The obtained values of the water quality parameters were temperature 28.26 to 28.46°C, pH 6.91 to 6.94, DO 5.04 to 5.33 mg/l, CO2 2.95 to 3.02 mg/L. The mean final weight gain was significantly highest in T1 (345.05 g) a followed by T2 (324.66 g) and T3 (257.82 g). The Specific growth rate (SGR) value were significantly higher in T1 treatment (0.91% bwd-1; Body weight per day) than T2 (0.87% bwd-1) and T3 treatment (0.73% bwd-1). The feed conversion ratio (FCR) value was significantly lower in T1 fish group (2.72) than other two T2 (2.84) and T3 (3.44) treatments. The fish productions were 18.13, 17.55 and 15.67 kg/cage/cycle in T1, T2 and T3 respectively. The highest net profit was found (Bangladeshi Taka, BDT 1445.38) in T1 compared to T2 (BDT 1329.24) and T3 treatment (BDT 937.99). The cost benefit ratio (CBR) was significantly higher in T1 (0.57) than T2 (0.53) and T3 (0.37). The feeding schedule three times in a day was most suitable than other two schedules.

Aquaponic model is a farming system that integrates a recirculating aquaculture system with hydroponics. There are three hydroponic methods commonly employed in the aquaponics systems: the media bed (MB), the nutrient film technique (NFT) and the deep-water culture - floating rafts (DWC). This study was conducted to evaluate effects of two hydroponic systems (DWC and MB) on water quality parameters, growth rate of fish and development of vegetable in the aquaponic model of snakehead fish (Channa striata) and leaf mustard (Brassica juncea). Snakehead fish were stocked with a density of 40 fish/75 liters of water and were cultured for 167 days. The results showed that daily temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen parameters in the two systems were almost the same and relatively stable while the electrical conductivity in the MB was much higher than that in the DWC. Similarly, the levels of the parameters weekly monitored (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, total phosphorus, and alkalinity) in the MB were higher than those in the DWC. At the end of the experiment, final weight, weight gain, specific growth rate and survival rate of fish in the MB treatment were higher than those in the DWC treatment, but the feed conversion rate of fish in the MB was lower than that in the DWC. On the contrary, vegetable yields in the DWC were significantly higher than those in the MB. In general, the DWC aquaponics work better than the MB system
