Biofloc Technology (BFT)
A near-zero-exchange aquaculture system that maintains water quality by cultivating floating microbial floc that consume waste and can supplement fish feed.
Sustainability: ★★★★★ Scale: Medium
Setup: $20,000+ FCR: 1.4
📖 Overview
Biofloc systems combine intensive fish culture with cultured microbial communities that process ammonia into microbial protein. The floc particles serve as supplemental nutrition, reducing feed costs. Widely adopted in shrimp culture; expanding to tilapia and other species.
