FISH FARMING & TRADING Project Details

Fish Farming with Biofloc and Recirculated Aquaculture System (RAS): A Sustainable Future

Fish farming using Biofloc technology and Recirculated Aquaculture Systems (RAS) is revolutionizing aquaculture by offering high-yield, eco-friendly, and cost-effective solutions for farmers. These advanced methods enable intensive fish farming in controlled environments, ensuring minimal resource use and maximum productivity.

Setup and Development

Biofloc Technology:

1. 1. Utilizes beneficial bacteria to convert fish waste into protein-rich feed, reducing feed costs.
   2. Requires tanks, aeration systems, and monitoring equipment.
   3. Suitable for species like tilapia, catfish, and shrimp.

Recirculated Aquaculture System (RAS):

1. 1. A closed-loop system where water is filtered and reused.
   2. Allows year-round production with precise control over water quality and fish health.
   3. Supports high-density farming of freshwater and marine fish.

Benefits for Farmers

• Low Input, High Output: Reduces water and feed requirements while increasing production.
• Disease Control: Controlled environments minimize disease outbreaks.
• Economic Viability: High profitability through efficient use of resources and better-quality fish.
• Sustainability: Promotes eco-friendly practices with minimal environmental impact.
