Benefit of Biofloc Aquaculture Systems
1. Low Water Exchange
- Biosecurity
- Temperature Control
- Salt Conservation = Inland Marine Operation
2. High Animal Density
- Intensive -> Superintensive
- Indoor Operation
• Climate Control
• Diverse Regions
3. No External Biological Filtration
- Solids Filtration Common
4. Typically No Soil Interaction
- Tanks, Lined Ponds, Concrete Vessels, Raceways
5. Primarily Used for Shrimp and Tilapia
- Other Candidate Taxa and Life Stages (ex. catfishes)
