Biofloc farming represents a revolutionary and environmentally friendly approach to fish farming. This innovative and cost-effective technology transforms potentially toxic materials, such as Nitrate, Nitrite, and Ammonia, into valuable proteinaceous feed. It operates with limited or zero water exchange, high stocking density, and a biota formed by Biofloc, making it a low-risk method for fish production.

To initiate a Biofloc tank setup, follow these six steps:

  1. Prepare the Ground: Ensure a level and sturdy ground that can support the tank's weight, potentially requiring civil work for a solid foundation.

  2. Install Iron Mesh: Support the tapeline tank by installing iron mesh or a similar material capable of bearing the water's weight.

  3. Install the Tarpaulin Tank: Once the ground and mesh are ready, install the tarpaulin tank, securing the edges to prevent water leakage.

  4. Prepare the Water: Before introducing shrimp or fish, prepare the water by adding necessary minerals and nutrients to support biofloc growth.

  5. Install the Aeration Pump: Aeration is vital for aquatic health, so install an aeration pump to provide oxygen to the water.

  6. Transfer the Seed: Once the setup is complete and the water is ready, transfer shrimp or fish seedlings to the tank to initiate the Biofloc process.

This systematic approach ensures a successful implementation of Biofloc farming, demonstrating its potential as an efficient and sustainable fish farming technique.

Here is a concise list of essential items for Biofloc Tank Setup:

  • Tarpaulin Tank / Cement Tank
  • Iron Frame
  • Aeration Pump
  • PVC Pipes
  • Fittings
  • Air Tube
  • Air Tube Connectors
  • Air Stones
  • Test Kits

It's crucial to note that seeds obtained from natural lakes are often pricier due to limited production, while artificial tank seeds are more affordable. However, selecting the right seed is paramount to avoid losses, including slow weight gain and mortality. Seeds from natural ponds exhibit greater temperature resilience, with juveniles congregating at edges, enhancing survival in higher temperatures. Conversely, seeds from cement tanks are sensitive to temperature fluctuations, potentially leading to increased mortality. Present breeding practices often rely on medicines for their cost-effectiveness and high production capacity.
