Macroalgae specific growth rate (% day −1 ) in the chemoautotrophic (chemical fertilization prior to stocking) and heterotrophic (use of an inoculum from an ongoing biofloc shrimp cultivation) treatments in an integrated cultivation of Ulva lactuca with Oreochromis niloticus and Penaeus vannamei. An asterisk (*) means a statistical difference on the same day between treatments. Capital letters mean differences in the same treatment between sampling days.

Different fertilization regimes in biofloc systems influence the predominance of distinct bacterial populations, impacting water quality and organism performance. This study evaluates the growth and nutrient absorption of the macroalgae Ulva lactuca when cultivated in an integrated system with Penaeus vannamei and Oreochromis niloticus in chemoauto...
