... evaluate the effects of biofloc technology (BFT) on growth, nutrition and economic profitability in mudflat fish aquaculture. A 60-d experiment was conducted in zero-water exchange BFT system. The results demonstrated that weight gain (WG), specific growth (SG) and survival in BFT group were 133.94%, 1.20% day^-1 and 90.0%, respectively. In control group with a 1/4-1/3 daily water exchange, WG, SG and survival were significantly lower than those in ...

Effect of Water of Tilapia Pond on Reproduction of Meloidogyne incognita and Growth of Eggplant in Relation to Soil Type

Hosny Kesba¹, Ashraf Suloma², Samy Sayed³*, Abdullah Abdel-Rahman¹ and Shaimaa Diab¹

...(STP), intensive tilapia biofloc (ITB) systems, and well water (WW), on the reproduction of Meloidogyne incognita infecting eggplants7 or 45 days after planting in sandy loam or sandy soils. Each irrigation source was applied daily at 150 mL/pot. The STP source was more suppressive to nematode development than ITB irrigation source in the two inoculation times of treatments either in sandy soil or sandy loam soil. Also, the produced eggs were highly influenced...

... justify;">The impact of bioflocs on the hepatic enzymes under variable diet and water exchange conditions was investigated in the fingerlings of Ctenopharyngodon idella in this study. For this purpose, the fingerlings of C. idella were fed on different concentrations of bioflocs bacteria enriched on banana peels) under different diet treatments for a period of 50 days. The diet treatments devised in this study were, T1 (

Effects of Replacement Fishmeal with Biofloc on Feed Utilization and Growth Performance, Morphological and Chemical Characteristics of Red Tilapia

...ood profile upon dietary biofloc feeding to red Tilapia fingerlings. The diets were control and biofloc (00.0%, 33.0%, 66.0%, and 100.0%). The diets were fed to red Tilapia fingerlings (14.3 ± 0.15 g) thrice a day. The study lasted fourteen weeks. Feed utilization, growth performance, morphological fish characters, chemical fish composition, flesh color, and blood profiles were determined. The obtained results illustr...

...ultivation sites using a biofloc system were selected using saturated sampling based on the sustainability of the catfish business (5 years), which included 20 businesses. Ectoparasite observations were conducted using a ZEISS Axioscope 5 Smart Laboratory Microscope. The descriptive method was used to identify and analyze the observational results. Gyrodactylus and Dactylogyrus parasites were discovered in mucus and gills. The Vorticella parasite was found on ...
