Advantages of Biofloc Technology over conventional pond culture:
Biofloc Technology | Pond Culture |
Low Set up cost | High set-up cost |
Eco friendly Green Technology | Use of pesticide and artificial hormones |
High density culture | Low density culture |
7 ~ 8 times more yield compared to pond culture | Low yield |
Quantity of feed required 50% Less | Wastage of feed |
Controlled environment: Easy to control water parameters (pH, TDS etc.) as culture is done in | Uncontrolled environment: Difficult to control water parameters in open ponds |
Low labour cost | Labour intensive leading to high labour cost |
Practically no disease in biofloc | Susceptible to disease which is difficult to control |
No effect of natural calamities | Susceptible to natural calamities such as floods |
