Biofloc Technology in Aquaculture

Biofloc technology (BFT) is a sustainable approach in aquaculture where microbial communities are cultivated in the water to act as a natural food source for farmed fish and shrimp. This system reduces external feed dependency, promotes nutrient recycling, and improves water quality by breaking down organic waste. Biofloc maintains a balanced ecosystem in aquaculture tanks, enhancing water clarity and lowering ammonia toxicity. By fostering a healthy microbial environment, BFT leads to better growth performance, improved feed efficiency, and reduced environmental impact, contributing to more eco-friendly and cost-effective aquaculture practices.
