In face of the shortage of, and competition with, land and water, the sustainability of aquaculture will have to depend on vertical development, through improving production environments, increasing productivity and enhancing aquaculture technologies. Biofloc technology (BFT) has emerged as new alternative for sustainable aquaculture, which could contribute to FAO Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to food security. Extensive research has been carried out on the development and application of BFT in aquaculture since early 1990s, with emphasis on shrimp culture. Over 40% of BFT publications in aquaculture were directed to shrimp farming. Therefore, I strongly believe that the accumulated knowledge on the applications of BFT in shrimp farming and the experience gained, especially during the last 10 years (2010–2020), are now more than worthy of critical review and analysis. This review summarizes the most update knowledge on the use of BFT in different marine shrimp and freshwater prawn aquaculture. Emphasis has been on factors affecting shrimp production in BFT systems, integration of biofloc‐based shrimp farming with other aquatic farmed species, nutritional value of bioflocs as a natural food or feed ingredient for farmed shrimp and prawn, the application of BFT in different rearing phases, the use of biofloc as a natural probiotics and their effects on shrimp health and physiological functions, economic considerations and commercial applications of BFT‐based shrimp aquaculture, and the major challenges facing shrimp farming in biofloc systems.

生物絮凝技术在虾类水产养殖中的应用：全面回顾，重点是过去十年

面对土地和水的短缺以及与之的竞争，水产养殖的可持续性将必须依靠垂直发展，即改善生产环境，提高生产力和增强水产养殖技术。生物絮凝技术（BFT）已成为可持续水产养殖的新选择，这可能有助于实现与粮食安全有关的粮农组织可持续发展目标（SDG）。自1990年代初以来，已经对BFT在水产养殖中的开发和应用进行了广泛的研究，重点是虾类养殖。在水产养殖中，BFT出版物中有40％以上是针对虾类养殖的。因此，我坚信，尤其是在最近10年（2010-2020年），积累了有关BFT在虾类养殖中应用的知识和经验，现在非常值得进行严格的审查和分析。这篇综述总结了在不同的海水虾和淡水虾养殖中使用BFT的最新知识。重点关注影响BFT系统中虾产量的因素，基于生物絮凝剂的虾类养殖与其他水产养殖物种的融合，生物絮凝剂作为养殖虾和对虾的天然食品或饲料成分的营养价值，BFT在不同饲养阶段的应用，生物絮凝剂作为天然益生菌的使用及其对虾健康和生理功能的影响，基于BFT的虾类水产养殖的经济考虑和商业应用，以及生物絮凝剂系统中虾类养殖面临的主要挑战。这篇综述总结了在不同的海水虾和淡水虾养殖中使用BFT的最新知识。重点关注影响BFT系统中虾产量的因素，将基于生物絮凝剂的对虾养殖与其他水产养殖物种融合，将生物絮凝剂作为养殖虾和对虾的天然食品或饲料成分的营养价值，BFT在不同饲养阶段的应用，生物絮凝剂作为天然益生菌的使用及其对虾健康和生理功能的影响，基于BFT的虾类水产养殖的经济考虑和商业应用，以及生物絮凝剂系统中虾类养殖面临的主要挑战。这篇综述总结了在不同的海水虾和淡水虾养殖中使用BFT的最新知识。重点关注影响BFT系统中虾产量的因素，将基于生物絮凝剂的对虾养殖与其他水产养殖物种融合，将生物絮凝剂作为养殖虾和对虾的天然食品或饲料成分的营养价值，BFT在不同饲养阶段的应用，生物絮凝剂作为天然益生菌的使用及其对虾健康和生理功能的影响，基于BFT的虾类水产养殖的经济考虑和商业应用，以及生物絮凝剂系统中虾类养殖面临的主要挑战。
