Biofloc technology is a type of High density fish farming and a technique of enhancing water quality through the addition of extra carbon to the aquaculture system
Biofloc system is a wastewater treatment
Biofloc technology works on
The principle of the technique is to maintain the higher C-N ratio by adding carbohydrate source
Water quality is improved through the production of high quality single cell microbial protein
Toxic nitrogen species immobilize faster in biofloc due to rapid growth and microbial productivity per substrate unit by heterotrophs.
* Eco-friendly culture system.* It reduces environmental impact.
Advantages of biofloc technology
* Judicial use of land and water* Limited or zero water exchange system
* Higher productivity* It reduces the pressure on capture fisheries
Air breathing fish like Singhi, Magur, Pabda , Anabas/Koi, Pangasius
Species suitable for Biofloc Culture
Non air-breathing fishes like Common Carp , Rohu , Tilapia , Milkfish
Shellfishes like Vannamei and Tiger Shrimp
