Biofloc Fish Farming

Biofloc fish farming is one of the successful and most profitable businesses in Pakistan. Pakistan not only fulfils its domestic requirements of consumption of different fish species but also able to fulfill the orders from abroad. The conventional fish farming is quite expensive and less productive in contrast to the Biofloc fish farming.

Biofloc Technology (BFT) is an environment-friendly technique used for the production of situ microorganisms. These microorganisms are produced as a hygienic food for the fish species. Because of this technique, fish farming requires zero or minimum exchange of water. This technique helps in balancing the level of Nitrogen and Carbon in the water which are really essential for the production of microorganisms and bacterias so that the fish species could be developed on natural feed and cost be saved on artificially produced. Introduction of this new idea can change the farming trends and bring about farming revolution in the country.
