ABSTRACT
The intensification of the aquaculture can be driven by many advanced technologies and one among them was the biofloc technology. The present study confirmed the influence of fertilizers on the physical and nutritional quality of biofloc in GIFT tilapia culture. A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different fertilizers in GIFT Tilapia culture using biofloc technology. The small changes in the floc will be highly influenced by the ionic composition of the culture water and its relative changes in the ionic strength will bring a substantial change in the floc morphology. The ash content in the floc may vary based on the accumulation of solid concentrations in the biofloc systems. The biofloc developed from the different fertilization prototypes influenced the physical and nutritional quality of the floc by favouring the utilization of major nutrients from the fertilizers in the culture tanks.
