Biofloc technology is not only effective in treating the waste but grants nutrition to the aquatic animal. The higher C:N ratio is maintained through the addition of carbohydrates source and the water quality is improved through the production of high-quality single-cell microbial protein. In such conditions, dense microorganisms develop and function as bioreactors controlling water quality and protein food sources. Immobilization of toxic nitrogen species occurs rapidly in Biofloc because the growth rate and microbial production per unit substrate of heterotrophs are ten times greater than that of the autotrophic nitrifying bacteria. This Biofloc technology is based on the principle of flocculation within the system.
