A desktop study on biofloc technology

Aquaculture industry is a growing sector worldwide and is expected to contribute
significantly to satisfying the increasing protein needs of a growing population. Biofloc
technology (BFT) emerged over the past decades as a sustainable and cost-efficient
cultivation system, mainly for warm-water species in tropical climates. This report begins
by describing this technology, presenting its generally perceived benefits, continues
with examples of BFT applications and finally, it presents a context analysis, aiming to
identify where and how BFT could contribute to the future of Norwegian aquaculture
industry.
