Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquaculture production is essential to meet the increasing protein demands of the world's population in the coming decades. Technological advances are essential to increase productivity in order to guarantee food security, reduce poverty and minimize possible environmental impacts. In this sense, production in bioflocs systems allows for increased productivity, reduced water use, greater biosecurity and a lower production of effluents that are released into the environment. There are still a series of topics that must be studied to improve the production of fish and shrimp, among other organisms, with bioflocs. In this way, we invite researchers to contribute their original research, reviews, case studies and/or recent progress/scenarios on the production of aquatic organisms with bioflocs.
