Biofloc technology (BFT) has been called an environmentally friendly aquaculture approach. The sustainable characteristics of biofloc-based culture are usually linked to the efficient use of water and nutrients and the minimal discard of effluent to the environment. Given the scarcity of sustainability assessment of biofloc-based systems, it is still unclear whether the positive characteristics of BFT make it a real sustainable approach for aquaculture. This study aimed to investigate and apply the emergy synthesis to assess the sustainability of commercial Nile tilapia fingerlings production in a biofloc-based system. The tilapia fingerlings produced on the BFT farm showed a UEV of 2.04E + 03 sej/J, renewability of 32.73%, EYR of 1.00, EIR, and ELR of 2.05, and ESI of 0.49. Compared to other aquaculture systems, the evaluated BFT farm presented emergy indicators with values characteristic of potentially sustainable production. Electricity has the highest representativeness in the emergy input, making the system dependent on resources from the larger economy. The low UEV indicates that the BFT farm is efficient in terms of converting the invested emergy into the system’s output (tilapia fingerlings). A sensitivity analysis shows that replacing the hydroelectric source of electricity with photovoltaic will not improve the emergy performance of the evaluated BFT farm.

AbstractFLOCponics is an alternative type of aquaponics that integrates biofloc technology (BFT) with soilless plant production. The aims of this paper are to present a detailed overview of the FLOCponics system's designs and performance, discuss their sustainability, highlight the current challenges, and give directions for future research. Data sources include papers containing the keywords bioflocs and hydroponics, aquaponics and/or plant production. In view of the small number of publications and the lack of standardization in experimental design and system setup, it was concluded that FLOCponics is still in its initial research stage. With respect to the animal and plant yields in FLOCponics, inconsistent results were found. Some investigations presented better or similar yield results in this system compared to traditional cultures, while others found the opposite. One of the key challenges of using FLOCponics is the effective control of solids. Refining the system's design was the main recommended improvement. Moreover, this paper highlights that the commercial application of FLOCponics will require extensive research that clarifies its technical and economic aspects, originating from experimental or pilot‐scale setups with characteristics similar to commercial production. This review provides and discusses information that can be useful for the effective development of FLOCponics, guiding further research to make FLOCponics commercially feasible and thus contributing to sustainable aquaculture production.
