Floating feces: A new approach for efficient removal of solids in aquacultural management

Feed efficiency and fish health were not impaired by the additives. It is suggested that the systematic manipulation of fecal density with low-density additives may achieve economic and ecological advances and offer a new and effective means of managing and optimizing waste output from aquaculture. The effects of floating feces on removal efficiency, leaching effects, water quality and operating costs in aquacultural systems have to be further explored.
