Biofloc technology in aquaculture: Beneficial effects and future challenges

Biofloc technology application in aquaculture to support sustainable development goals

Biofloc technology (BFT) application offers benefits in improving aquaculture production that could contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goals. This technology could result in higher productivity with less impact to the environment. Furthermore, biofloc systems may be developed and performed in integration with other food production, thus promoting productive integrated syst...

Biofloc Production Systems for Aquaculture

Biofloc systems were developed to improve environmental control over production. In places where water is scarce or land is expensive, more intensive forms of aquaculture must be practiced for cost-effective production. There are strong economic incentives for an aquaculture business to be more efficient with production inputs, especially the most costly (feed) and most limiting (water or land)...

Application of Biofloc technology in aquaculture with an emphasis on ornamental fish

Biofloc technology (BFT) is a relatively new biotechnological means to support high density culture, maintain water quality, biosecurity, reduce the need for water exchange, reutilize the feed and reduce the production cost. This technology is mainly based on the principle of waste nutrients recycling (particularly nitrogen) into microbial biomass that can be used in situ by the cultured animal...

Biofloc Technology (BFT): A Tool for Water Quality Management in Aquaculture

Biofloc technology (BFT) is considered the new “blue revolution” in aquaculture. Such technique is based on in situ microorganism production which plays three major roles: (i) maintenance of water quality, by the uptake of nitrogen compounds generating in situ microbial protein; (ii) nutrition, increasing culture feasibility by reducing feed conversion ratio (FCR) and a decrease of feed costs; ...
