The world population continues to increase day by day. Therefore, aquaculture needs to grow in order to response the need for protein foods and to cope with the problem of scarcity. However, this enlargement should require taking place in a sustainable way in order to protect the environment and natural resources. The rapid development in the production of seafood as a food sector brought several issues that are necessary to be studied. Particularly, the most important limitations of conventional aquaculture are feed and feeding regimes, high volumes of water requirement, and its pollution potential to natural water resources. Biofloc technology (BFT) is a sustainable aquaculture method for pollution prevention that is based on the principle of reuse of nitrogen-based pollutants which are considered organic waste in aquaculture. In this review, the studies in the literature that considered the parameters affecting BFT are examined. BFT holds a promising response to the global concern of making aquaculture more sustainable. Considering the water quality, fish growth, and immunological positive effects, it is foreseen that BFT systems will be important in aquaculture in the future. Currently, operational parameters are mainly adjusted on a trial-and-error way, and there is a clear need to shift towards a more scientific-based approach to be able to commercialize this technique.

世界人口持续增加。因此，水产养殖业需要发展，以应对对蛋白质食品的需求并应对稀缺性问题。但是，这种扩大应要求以可持续的方式进行，以保护环境和自然资源。作为食品部门的海产品生产的迅速发展带来了一些需要研究的问题。特别是，常规水产养殖最重要的局限性是喂食和喂食方式，对水的大量需求以及对自然水资源的潜在污染。生物絮凝技术（BFT）是一种可持续的水产养殖污染预防方法，其基于对氮基污染物（在水产养殖中被视为有机废物）进行再利用的原则。在这篇评论中，文献中考虑影响BFT的参数的研究进行了审查。BFT对使水产养殖更具可持续性的全球关注做出了有希望的回应。考虑到水质，鱼类生长和免疫学方面的积极影响，可以预见，BFT系统在未来的水产养殖中将很重要。当前，主要通过反复试验的方式来调整操作参数，并且显然需要转向更加基于科学的方法，以便能够将该技术商业化。可以预见，BFT系统在未来的水产养殖中将很重要。当前，主要通过反复试验的方式来调整操作参数，并且显然需要转向更加基于科学的方法，以便能够将该技术商业化。可以预见，BFT系统在未来的水产养殖中将很重要。当前，主要通过反复试验的方式来调整操作参数，并且显然需要转向更加基于科学的方法，以便能够将该技术商业化。
