In this study, we investigate the effect of the biofloc (BF) system using various carbon sources including sugarcane bagasse (SCB), rice bran (RB) and rice straw (RS) on growth parameters, hepatopancreatic digestive enzymes and the expression of growth‐related genes of white‐leg shrimp, Litopenaeus...
