The Role of Probiotics in Biofloc Technology (BFT)

Biofloc technology marks a new “blue revolution” in Biofloc Fish Farming by recycling nutrients and reducing water exchange. It involves the mix of living organisms and organic matter, like phytoplankton and bacteria, in ponds or tanks. This serves as food for cultured fish while purifying the water.

Yet, Biofloc Fish Farming faces challenges like excess ammonia, unbalanced C:N ratio, diseases, and unhealthy floc formation. Here our probiotics play a pivotal role in accumulated sludge in Biofloc Fish Farming ponds, enhancing the system’s efficiency by ensuring healthy floc formation.

Problems

Affecting water quality and floc formation in Biofloc Fish Farming

  • Ammonia Challenge

    Ammonia from fish farming waste, organic decay, and feed worsens with low oxygen, leading to slow growth, gill damage, and fish mortality

  • C:N Ratio Importance

    A balanced ratio (10 to 20) reduces ammonia and nitrite levels, boosting biofloc fish farming efficiency. An imbalanced ratio results in poor biofloc fish farming quality and ammonia buildup.

  • Disease Outbreak

    Increased levels of toxic gases such as ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, and accumulated sludge which contain harmful pathogens create a threat and lead to disease outbreaks in fish farming systems.

Solution

Bioflok Probiotics

Let’s explore our groundbreaking probiotic formulation- Bioflok, an enriched beneficial probiotic, which plays a pivotal role in healthy floc formation by addressing the issues in floc formation for Biofloc Fish Farming.

  • Ammonia Reduction

    Probiotics actively break down ammonia into nitrite and nitrate, ensuring safe levels for fish farming and also improving the floc formation.

  • C:N Ratio Management

    The probiotic consortium maintains the C:N ratio, supporting efficient biofloc technology production, as C:N ratio is one of the crucial parameters in biofloc technology aquaculture.

  • Enhanced Fish Health

    Bioflok enriches gut microflora, enhancing fish farming health and boosting survival rates by competing and eliminating pathogens, preventing disease outbreaks.

Reviews & Appreciation Notes


Our Aquaculture system previously faced challenges such as odour, high feed cost and insufficient growth, but Bioflok made a significant difference by ensuring healthier fish environments, survival rates improved by 65%, observed 55% increase in growth rate and 30% improvement in FCR, also improved pond stability. Bioflok has enhanced aquaculture efficiency and profitability for our farm, gives amazing results, and I highly recommend it to fellow aquaculture enthusiasts.

FAQ

  • Probiotics introduce beneficial bacteria into the system. These bacteria consume organic waste, converting it into microbial biomass. This process not only cleans the water but also provides an additional food source for aquatic species. The beneficial bacteria also suppress pathogenic bacteria, ensuring a balanced microbial ecosystem.

  • Biofloc fish farming is a method that is helping fish farmers to achieve a variety of objectives, including high output, low cost, sustainable growth, better income opportunities, less area, and less maintenance cost. This method is available today and is helping farmers to meet their goals. Biofloc fish farming is an intensive aquaculture system in which biofloc or bacterial floc is introduced into reinforced geomembrane-lined aquaculture ponds, which convert the waste created by aquatic animals into edible mass. This edible mass is rich in protein and has a probiotic effect. The higher C:N ratio is maintained through the addition of carbohydrates, and the water quality is improved through the production of high-quality single-cell microbial protein. Probiotics also serve as immunostimulants to decrease FCR, inhibit pathogenic bacteria, and offer zero to negligible water exchange. Please check our biofloc preparation formula product Bioflok which is a dense probiotic formulation fortified with selective natural and eco-friendly bacteria specifically required for Biofloc technology. Biofloc technology is used to remove waste from water. This system uses a set of bacteria that are good bacteria. These are probiotics that kill harmful bacteria. Thus maintaining the water quality. They have the capability to convert nitrogen in the water into proteins. Biofloc fish farming or fish culture is an intensive aquaculture system in which biofloc or bacterial floc is introduced into reinforced geomembrane-lined aquaculture ponds, which convert the waste created by aquatic animals into edible mass. This edible mass is rich in protein, vitamins, and micronutrients and acts as probiotics in aquaculture. This improves the immunity of aquatic animals. In traditional aquaculture, frequent water exchange is required resulting is a wastage of water and larger expenses. Biofloc fish farming technology offers zero water exchange.

  • The following are the benefits of biofloc fish farming: - Improved Biosecurity - Improved feed conversion - Improved water use efficiency - Increased land use efficiency - Improved water quality control - Reduced sensitivity to weather changes - Eco Friendly culture system - Limited to zero water exchange - Higher productivity - Reduces water pollution and the spread of pathogens - Cost-effective feed production - Reduces utilization of protein-rich feed and also the cost of standard feed - Reduces the pressure on capture fisheries

  • Biofloc fish farming is best for the species that can derive nutritional benefits from direct consumption of floc. The species that can tolerate high solid concentrations in water and are generally tolerant of poor water quality are most suitable for biofloc fish farming. Almost all biofloc technology is used to grow shrimp, tilapia, or carp. Some also raise catfish in biofloc systems.

  • In Biofloc fish farming it is essential to maintain 30 to 40 ml of flocs per 1000 ml of water. Decrease in the amount of flocs will lead to an increase in ammonia levels. If flocs increase, then water will become dense, causing difficulties for the fish to breathe. If the floc is reduced, then add probiotics with molasses, and in case of increased flocs, old water can be exchanged with new water.

  • Following are the equipment’s required for biofloc fish farming setup: - Iron Frame - Tarpaulin Tank - PVC Pipe - Aeration Pump - Fittings - Air Tubes - Air Tube Connectors - Air Stones

  • Yes, biofloc fish farming prevents fish diseases and fish kills and maximizes output. Also, you can save on feed as fish excreta and waste is easily converted into food for fishes.

  • Yes, biofloc fish farming technology is used to grow shrimp in different parts of India.

  • The microbes known as autotrophs and heterotrophs in the biofloc fish farming system consume inorganic and organic compounds and thus purifies water and improves water quality.
