The aim of this study was to determine biofloc contributions to the antioxidant status and lipid nutrition of
broodstock of Litopenaeus stylirostris in relationship with their reproductive performance and the health of larvae
produced. Shrimp broodstock reared with BioFloc Technology (BFT) compared to Clear Water (CW) exhibited a
higher health status with (i) a better final survival rate during the reproduction period (52.6% in CW against
79.8% in BFT); (ii) higher glutathione level (GSH) and total antioxidant status (TAS); (iii) reduced oxidized/
reduced glutathione ratio; and (iv) a higher spawning rate and frequency as well as higher gonado-somatic
index and number of spawned eggs. Finally, larvae from broodstock from BFT exhibited higher survival rates at
the Zoe 2 (+37%) and Post Larvae 1 (+51%) stages when compared with those from females from CW treatment
