A variety of beneficial features can be ascribed to biofloc technology,
from water quality control to in situ feed production and some
possible extra features. Biofloc technology offers aquaculture a sustainable
tool to simultaneously address its environmental, social and
economical issues concurrent with its growth. Researchers are challenged
to further develop this technique and farmers to implement
it in their future aquaculture systems. The basics of the technology
is there, but its further development, fine-tuning and implementation
will need further research and development from the present and future
generation of researchers, farmers and consumers to make this
technique a keystone of future sustainable aquaculture.
