Description: The prawns assimilate only 15–30% of the nitrogen added in the feed in a pond environment, the remaining quantity is lost to the system as ammonia and organic-N in the form of feces and feed residue. The organic-N in feces and uneaten feed undergoes decomposition resulting in ammonia production. Therefore, a high protein level in shrimp feed contributes to the high concentration of ammonia in the water column which is detrimental to the cultured animals and needs to be minimized. To rectify the above-mentioned constraints, biofloc technology (BFT) systems were developed to minimize effluent discharge, protect the surrounding water bodies and improve farm bio-security (Avnimelech 2007). Farming of prawns is generally conducted extensively in grow-out ponds and has been developed in indoor high-intensive farming systems to meet the growing world demand (Zhou 2001). With rapid expansion and intensification, however, there is also a growing concern about the ecological sustainability of shrimp farming (Naylor et al. 2000). The cultured shrimps retain only 20– 30% of feed nutrients; therefore, 70–80% of high dietary protein is excreted and accumulated in water, which leads to the deterioration of water quality (Avnimelech & Ritvo 2003). Moreover, deteriorated water quality has resulted in disease outbreaks and heavy financial losses (Samocha et al. 2004). Such environmental issues have created a large demand for productive, efficient, and sustainable shrimp farming systems that have a low impact on the environment and are more likely to be disease-free (Horowitz & Horowitz 2001). The addition of carbon sources into the shrimp culture system can significantly reduce the TAN and NO 2 -N concentrations. In addition, lots of youth engaged in fish culture by biofloc technology without any knowledge. Until there is no study or protocol is developed in Bangladesh for shrimp culture in biofloc technology. Therefore, the study aims to develop microbial biofloc for the culture of Macrobrachium rogenbergii by using carbohydrate materials as a carbon source to boost production by improving the conversion of nutrients into harvestable products while maintaining good water quality.

Description: In Bangladesh, the current supply of tubificid worms is about completely from wild harvests which are unreliable and inadequate in terms of demand. Little success has been reported in attempts taken to develop a technique for tubificid worms culture (Mollah and Ahamed 1989, Ahamed and Mollah 1992). For this reason, it is very important to develop a compatible culture medium for the commercial production of Tubifex sp. as an inexpensive alternative to other commercial feeds needed for fish rearing. Therefore, the objectives of the present study were to make a comparative analysis of different culture media and to find out the most suitable food medium for optimal growth of Tubifex sp.
