Biofloc technology has mentioned as a new tool for sustainable aquaculture development and has overcome the problems of water scarcity and discharge of aquaculture effluents to the environment. In this system, nitrogenous wastes (Ammonia and Ammonium) are simultaneously recovered by bacteria and converted into microbial proteins that can be consumed by aquatic animals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the production of biofloc and evaluate it for use in aquaculture. The effect of different temperature levels (24, 28, 32 °C), salinity (0, 4, 8 g/l)  ,and C/N ratio (10:1, 15:1, 20:1) which are the main key factors to the formation and function of biofloc system was evaluated by using a response surface method designing. Moreover, the influence of those factors on total ammonia nitrogen, nitrite, nitrate, floc volume, protein, and lipid content of biofloc was investigated. The results showed that the temperature had a significant effect on floc volume and protein content of biofloc (P < 0.05), but it had no significant effect on other nitrogenous compounds and lipid content (p > 0.05). The protein, lipid and moisture of biofloc particles were decreased by increasing salinity significantly (P < 0.05). Also, TAN and nitrite concentration influenced by C/N ratio inversely. According to the factors Optimization, providing 27 °C and C/N ratio of 18:1 in brackish water and 29 °C and C/N ratio of 14:1 in fresh water resulted in high quality biofloc production and control of nitrogenous wastes in water.
