In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we break down how Biofloc Technology (BFT) is changing the game in aquaculture. By turning waste into a resource, BFT helps recycle nutrients, cut down on water use, and strengthen the immune systems of fish and shrimp. It’s a smart, sustainable way to raise more stock in less space, with better survival rates and feed efficiency.
