The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of biofloc over digestive enzyme activity and growth parameters of Arapaima gigas juveniles. Randomized complete block design was performed in a period of 45 days with two treatments: a zero water exchange system or biofloc technology (BFT) with a C: N ratio of 15:1, brown sugar was used as a carbon source (53.36% C). The second was the control treatment with water exchange system (WES). A total of 54 A. gigas juveniles were distributed into 6 tanks of 300 L each (Initial biomass of 6 kg / m3) in three blocks: BI (161.99 ± 14.62 g), BII (121.09 ± 6.90 g) and BIII (99.43 ± 10.81 g). Fish were fed six times daily at 3% of their body weight with a 46.35% protein diet. Total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) values were 2.019 and 1.371 mg/L for BFT and WES, respectively, and the nitrite nitrogen (N-NO2 -) values never exceeded 1.82 for BFT and 0.87 mg/L for WES. Growth parameters did not differ among treatments (p> 0.05), However, on the experiment days 15 and 45 specific growth rate (SGR) on BFT treatment showed better performance (p <0.05) with values of 3.3 and 1.2%/day compared to 3.1 and 1.0%/day in WES treatment. At the end of the experiment feed conversion ratio (FCR) was 2.6 for BFT and 3 for WES. Respect digestive enzyme parameters, A. gigas juveniles from BFT treatment showed significant (p<0.05) increment of amilases and lipases activity in the gut. The results suggest an enzymatic contribution of biofloc on A. gigas juveniles and is posible to rear them in BFT since there were no differences in terms of growth performance.
