Biofloc is a recent and updated technology of Fish cultivation. The main advantage of this technology is the food is less needed. Food is one of the prime cost of Fish cultivation in Bangladesh. That's why it will make a new revolution here hopefully. You know Bangladesh is in fifth position in sweet water Fish cultivation. And here food conversion ratio is 150% that is to produce one kilogram of fish you need to feed 1 and half kilogram of food. But the research say that you need about five times less food for cultivating fish in this updated Technology. The main reason behind this year there will be some useful bacteria which will produce flock and this flock will be the feed of the fish.
With the growth of population the farming lands are being limited that's why it is difficult to have a large pond for its Fish cultivation. So that's why dense farming are are being popular day by day. Normally fish can be cultivated in biofloc technology about 20 times denser than the normal Fish cultivation. That's why in urban areas and where there is scarcity of land can be easily cultivated. Those who have a rooftop or a small yard can easily choose or setup a plant for this technology. Some study and learning is very much needed for this kind of recent Technology.
First of all we need all sort of Information and resource materials. I have studied about this technology first. Hair you need some materials like probiotic and some testing kits like Ammonia testing pH testing temperature testing TDS testing etc. And most importantly need a air pump for oxygen supply on the time as the density is high it's really important. The other hand for the food of bacteria need some molasses and salt for salinity. Out of this all task you need to set up a tank for the fish first of all. There are two way to setup tank one is tarpaulin based another one is cement based. Tarpaulin based is very much movable from one place to another place but cement tank is fixed. But the longibility of the cement tag is very high compared to the tarpaulin tank. That's why I have to use in cement tank. As you can see in the picture I have set up to to cement tank initially for trial basis. **One is of 2000 and 500 litre and other one is of just one thousand litre of water. I shall employ two species of fish share in this two tanks. After that I shall decide for the mass production. I have enough land area and rooftop to set up at least 70000 litre of water tank. **So hopefully by next week I can start as my tank is ready now.
Hope your suggestion in the comment box. I shall come with the next update of my project fully one after one. That's all for today hope to see you in the next blog. thanks for stopping by.

Admirable initiative! Last year I tried to do it but I couldn't because of insufficient space. I know it can be done in a small space, but it is not possible because our house is only 2 decimals area. In future, i will try. By the way, good luck brother!
