Biofloc-based aquafarming technology is a revolutionary approach transforming the landscape of aquaculture. This sustainable and eco-friendly method involves creating a microbial-rich environment within the culture system, utilizing beneficial microorganisms to maintain water quality. In this closed-loop system, the microorganisms, primarily bacteria, convert organic waste into high-quality feed for the cultured species, reducing the reliance on external feeds. The technology promotes higher stocking densities, leading to increased productivity and better space utilization. Biofloc systems also enhance biosecurity by limiting the exchange of water with the surroundings, mitigating the risk of disease transmission. Moreover, the system contributes to minimizing environmental impact by recycling nutrients and reducing effluent discharge. With its potential to optimize resource utilization, improve water quality, and foster sustainable aquaculture practices, biofloc-based technology emerges as a promising and efficient method for modern aquafarming.
