What is it about?
In recent years, the hyper-intensive shrimp farms have started to use commercial microbial consortia, nevertheless, reported studies in commercial farms are scarce.

Why is it important?
The biofloc cultures naturally promotes the development of microbial community. The high diversity of microorganisms plays an important role in stabilizing the system, included: maintenance of water quality. The commercial probiotics addition could be unnecesary.
Perspectives
In commercial farms it is difficult to develop controlled bioassays, and frequently, the results are not conclusive; nevertheless some companies commonly use probiotics, but their effectiveness, compared with the natural bacterial populations (which can be developed naturally) is scarcely evaluated.
