With the rapid and dynamic change in the human population, the food industry has also started expanding its boundaries with the help of research and technology. Aquaculture technology is also the part of this expanded efforts of scholars and scientists. The expansion in the field is much essential and considered as a core need of time. This help to reduce the use of natural resources like water and land and also help to preserve nature. Discussing Biofloc fish farming in Pakistan, BFT comes first. Biofloc Technology (BFT) is a technique to improve the water quality in aquaculture through balancing the amount of Carbon (C) and Nitrogen (N) which help in producing proteinaceous feed in the water. This proteinaceous feed becomes an autogenerated best feed for the fish species and helps them to grow faster.

Biofloc fish farming is one of the successful and most profitable businesses in Pakistan. With it, Pakistan not only fulfils its personal requirements of the consumption of fish species but also able to fulfil the orders from beyond the borders. The conventual fish farming is quite expensive and unproductive in contrast to the Biofloc fish farming with the help of Biofloc technology (BFT). Now it needs to understand how Biofloc Technology actually works? And is Biofloc fish farming a really successful business in Pakistan?
In this article these questions will mainly be addressed:
- What is Biofloc Technology (BFT)? And how it Works?
- Is Biofloc fish farming a really successful business in Pakistan?
- What is the feasibility of Biofloc fish farming in Pakistan?
These questions are addressed in detail as follows:
What is Biofloc Technology (BFT)? And how it Works?
Biofloc Technology (BFT) is an environment-friendly technique used for the production of situ microorganisms. These microorganisms are produced as a hygienic food for the fish species. Because of this technique, fish farming requires zero or minimum exchange of water. Because of this technique helps in balancing the level of Nitrogen and Carbon in the water which are really essential for the production of microorganisms and bacteria’s sot that to feed the fish species (as natural feed) and save cost on feeding them with artificially produced feed.
