ADVANTAGES OF BIOFLOC TECHNOLOGY
- BIOFLOC is an Eco-friendly culture system.
- Environmental impact reduces.
- Efficiently improves land and water use
- Negligible or zero water exchange
- Productivity is high (enhances survival rate, growth performance, feed conversion in the culture systems of fish).
- Bio-security is high
- Reduces water pollution and the risk of introduction and spread of pathogens
- Cost-effective feed production.
- It reduces utilization of protein rich feed and cost of standard feed.
- It reduces the pressure on capture fisheries ( use of cheaper food fish and trash fish for fish feed formulation.)
DISADVANTAGES OF BIOFLOC TECHNOLOGY
- Energy requirement for mixing and aeration increases
- Reduced response time due to water respiration rates are elevated
- Start-up period required.
- Alkaline supplement required.
- Pollution potential from nitrate accumulation increases.
- Seasonal and inconsistent performance for sunlight-exposed systems.
