Description

Biofloc is a protein-rich macro aggregate of organic material & micro-organisms including diatoms, bacteria, protozoa, algae, fecal pellets, remains of dead organisms, and other invertebrates.

Basically, the technology was developed by Dr. YoramAvnimelech in Israel and initially implemented commercially in Belize by Belize aquaculture.

The technology has recently gained attention as a sustainable method of controlling water quality, with the added value of producing protein-rich feed in. situ

The basic requirements for Biofloc system operation include high stocking density, high aeration &lined ponds.

A crucial factor in the system is the control of Biofloc in ponds during the operation of fish /shrimp are fed with a lot of sediment.
