Chapter 9 - Biofloc Technology (BFT)

Biofloc in aquaculture is a high porosity aggregate in water body, made of microorganism, particle, colloid, and organic matter. Biotic component (interaction of microorganism) included microalgae, bacteria, plankton and protozoa, in other hand there is also an abiotic component such as particle, colloid, and organic matter.

Biofloc Production

• Flok adalah agregat yang terbentuk oleh bakteri berfilamen,


plankton, polimer organik, dan sel-sel mikroba yang telah
mati, dan disatukan oleh polimer ekstraseluler.
• Pembentukannya dipengaruhi oleh C/N
• Perannya bagi mikroba adalah untuk meningkatkan transpor
substrat ke dalam sel dalam medium yang substratnya
terbatas.

 A low or zero water exchange production “tool” used
primarily in intensive shrimp / fish production

 Utilizing pond microbial community to improve water


quality and maximize feed recycling

 Promotion of stable, heterotrophic bacteria dominated


pond environment instead of phytoplankton
dominated that is light sensitive and highly unstable

 Bacteria thrive and “floc” and flocs assimilate waste


nutrients

 In short – your pond becomes your biofilter!
