Differences between Biofloc Technology and Pond Fishing
Here are the major differences between BFT and pond fishing.
| Aspect | Biofloc Technology (BFT) | Pond Fishing |
|---|---|---|
| Environmental Impact | Lower environmental impact. Reduces water exchange and nutrient discharge. Promotes sustainability. Hence it is suitable in areas where water is not available in abundance. But we need to supply oxygen via aeration system | May have higher environmental impact due to water exchange and nutrient discharge. Aeration system is not required |
| Water Conservation | Promotes water conservation through minimal water exchange and recirculation practices. | May require significant water inputs and result in water loss through exchange. |
| Feed Efficiency | More feed-efficient due to the use of bioflocs as a supplementary food source. | May have higher feed requirements as fish rely on commercial feeds or natural food sources. |
