Biofloc Technology (BFT) is an intensive, eco-friendly fish farming.

Let’s Talk

Biofloc Technology (BFT) is a sustainable, high-density aquaculture method that utilizes beneficial bacteria to convert fish waste into protein-rich, edible feed. By maintaining a high carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, these microbes form “flocs” that improve water quality, eliminate the need for frequent water exchanges, and reduce feed costs.

The best fish for biofloc farming are hardy, fast-growing species that can tolerate high densities and consume the bioflocs, with Tilapia (Nile Tilapia) and Catfish (Channel Catfish) being top choices globally, alongside Pacific White Shrimp (though not a fish). Other excellent options include Indian Major Carps (Rohu, Catla) and air-breathing species like Magur and Singhi, with Barramundi also performing well in warmer systems.

Project Challenge

To overcome these, projects often require:

Training & Expert Support: Intensive training before starting.

Solar Hybrid Systems: Reducing electricity costs.

Using Larger Tanks: Starting with 10,000–30,000 liters minimum to ensure stability.

IoT Monitoring: Using sensors for real-time tracking of pH, DO, and Temperature.

Eco and Agriculture

Biofloc Technology (BFT) is an intensive, eco-friendly fish farming method that uses beneficial microorganisms to recycle fish waste into protein-rich feed, allowing for high-density stocking with minimal water exchange. It is ideal for small, limited land areas (150-200 sq. m) to raise species like Tilapia and Carp, significantly reducing feed costs.
