Biofloc technology: an eco-friendly green approach to boost up aquaculture production

The rapid intensification of the aquaculture system has led to several environmental impacts involving water quality deterioration, pollution, and disease outbreaks. Consequently, an eco-friendly technique is inevitable that could ensure better production with less impact on the environment by minimizing the effluent discharge from aquaculture practice. Biofloc technology is such a kind breakthrough that would be easy to perform; operation and establishment procedure is quite simple at a relatively low cost that would be convenient to fish farmers. It can serve as a perfect solution for aquaculture species through improving its all characteristics such as substantial biomass density, survival, and disease resistance ability to the pathogen by an immunostimulatory effect of microbial floc on the immune system that would assure the biosecurity and sustainability of this extraordinary technique.

Automated summary

Biofloc technology is an eco-friendly aquaculture technique that minimizes effluent discharge, improves production efficiency, and reduces environmental impact. By stimulating the immune system, it enhances biomass density, survival, and disease resistance ability of aquaculture species, ensuring biosecurity and sustainability of the technique.
