Effects of suspended solids in shrimp biofloc systems
The use of biofloc systems for shrimp culture requires monitoring of water quality parameters, particularly suspended solids levels.

Alkalinity and acidity in pond water and soil interact and can result in unhealthy culture conditions. Ion exchange occurs between soil and water until an equilibrium is reached.
Recirculating aquaculture systems have properties that can mature and stabilize the microbial community, creating a more benign bacterial flora in larval tanks.
Each stage of crawfish processing contains potential human health hazards that must be addressed. Bacteria flourish under elevated temperatures but replication can be halted in cold storage.
