Cultivo de camarões em sistema de bioflocos no brasil: uma alternativa sustentável às intensificações na aquicultura

Abstract

The progress of aquaculture and the growing demand for food of animal origin, coupled with the new demands of consumers, have been increasing their concern with the environment contamination due to the implementation of the activity, what motivates technicians and researchers to seek new alternatives for a more sustainable animal production. Thus, this review was carried out to discuss the principal aspects related to shrimp farming and biofloc technology (BFT) used in this system. Research is being developed in the area, aiming to improve the techniques, establish new methodologies and present satisfactory results at all stages of the production cycle. This paper presents results obtained using the BFT system, both for performance characteristics as to the water quality characteristics and health related to shrimp farming.
