W e need to understand little bit of science behind Biofloc system in order to understand it better and to avoid few common mistakes in production (ie ammonia). Don’t worry if you don’t get every think, you will get the general idea. Join us for more https://www.facebook.com/BioflocFishFarmings Biofloc technology focus on efficient use of nutrient input with limited or zero water exchange. The main principle of BFT is to recycle nutrient by maintaining a high carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio in the water in order to stimulate heterotrophic  bacterial growth  that converts ammonia into  microbial biomass  ( Avnimelech 1999 ). The microbial biomass will further aggregate with other  microorganisms  and particles suspended in the water forming what has been called “biofloc”, which eventually can be consumed in situ by the cultured animals or harvested and processed as a feed ingredient ( Avnimelech 1999 ;  Avnimelech ...
