Introduction/Background The global population is expected to grow by another 2 billion to reach 9.6 billion people by 2050, and the demand for animal protein is increasing and it is a challenge of feeding our planet by safeguarding its natural resources for future generations. In this contest, aquaculture plays a key role in promoting health by providing animal protein as well as generating jobs and economic opportunities. According to FAO, the world food fish aquaculture production expanded at an average annual rate of 6.2% in the period 2000-2012 from 32.4 MMT to 66.6 MMT. BFT is considered the new “blue revolution” since nutrients can be continuously recycled and reused in the culture medium, benefited by the minimum or zero-water exchange. Bio-floc technology (BFT) is as an environmentally friendly aquaculture technique based on in situ microorganism production. Bio-floc is the suspended growth in ponds which consist of aggregates of living and dead particulate organic matter, phytoplankton, bacteria and grazers of the bacteria. It is the utilization of microbial processes within the tankipond itself to provide food resources for culture organism while at the same time acts as a water treatment tank. Thus, this system is also called as active suspension ponds or heterotrophic ponds or even green soup ponds. IMPORTANCE OF BIO-FLOC SYSTEM Bio-floc system is a wastewater treatment which has gained vital importance as an approach in aquaculture. The higher C: N is maintained through the addition of carbohydrate source (molasses) and the water quality is improved through the production of high quality single cell microbial protein. In such condition, dense microorganisms develop and function both as bioreactor controlling water quality and protein food source, Immobilization of toxic nitrogen species occurs more rapidly in bio-flocs because the growth rate and microbial production per unit substrate of heterotrophs are ten-times greater than that of the autotrophic nitrifying bacteria, This technology is based on the principle of flocculation within the system. rIONAL VALUE OF BIO-FLOC Bio-floc is a heterogeneous aggregate of suspended particles and variety of microorganisms associated with extracellular polymeric substances. It is composed of microorganisms such as bacteria, algae, fungi, invertebrates and detritus, ete. It is a protein-rich live feed formed as a result of conversion of unused feed and excreta into a natural food in a culture system on exposure to sunlight. Each floc is held together in a loose matrix of mucus that is secreted bybacteria and bound by filamentous microorganisms or electrostatic attraction. Large flocs can be seen with the naked eye, but most of them are microscopic. Floc size range from 50 — 200 microns. A good nutritional value is found in bio-floc. The dry weight protein ranges from 25 - 50 percent, fat ranges 0.5 — 15 percent. It is a good source of vitamins and minerals, particularly phosphorous. It also has an effect similar to probiotics. The dried bio-floc is proposed as an ingredient to replace the fishmeal or soybean in the feed, 3. BENEFITS OF BIO-FLOC CULTURE SYSTEM ‘+ Eco-friendly culture system, © It reduces environmental impact ‘* Improves land and water use efficiency Limited or zero water exchange ‘+ Higher productivity (It enhances survival rate, growth performance, feed conversion in the culture systems of fish) ‘© Higher biosecurity ‘© Reduces water pollution and the risk of introduction and spread of pathogens © Cost-effective feed production. ‘* It reduces utilization of protein rich feed and cost of standard feed ‘© It reduces the pressure on capture fisheries ie., use of cheaper food fish and trash fish for fish feed formulation, 4. OBJECTIVE: ‘© To promote high yielding intensive fish farming in small area using BFT ‘© To encourage farmers and unemployed youth into income earning through small scale through BFT TECHNICAL DETAILS. ite Detai a The proposed sites of ~ area is located at ~ and is free from all encumbrances. The site is suitable for Bio-floc farming and carrying out culture practice The water sources and is free from pollutants, The site is not flood prone and is easily accessible by road and has regular power supply. The harvested fish will be marketed to local market/retail market/hotel/restaurants live for better price. ‘Technical Specifications- 75 m’ (5 Tanks) S.No__| Component Details 1__| Area for tanks [150 m? 2__| Bio-floc Tank size 4 metre diameter and 1.5 meter height 3 | Water holding capacity of | 15,000 Litres capacity each tank 4 | Water quality parameters | Dissolved oxygen-Smg/l, Temparature-26-34 degrees, PH-7.5 10 8, TDS-600ppm, Floc density-25-40 mg/l,‘Ammonia-0.5 ppm, Nitrite-03 ppm, Nitrate- Allkalinity-120-280 ppm 0 ppm, 5__| Tanks Made-up of | Tarpaulin/Fibre 6 _ | Stocking density 100 nosim3 (1000 nos per 15,000 litres tank -depending con species ) 7 [Name of fish species | Tilapia .

A basic factor in designing a bio-floc system is the species to be cultured. Bio-floc systems work best with species that are able to derive some nutritional benefit from the direct consumption of floc. Bio-floc systems are also most suitable for species that can tolerate high solids concentration in water and are generally tolerant of poor water quality. Some of the species that are suitable for BFT are: 6, PROJECT FORMULATION Organization and management: Air breathing fishes like singhi, magur, padba, anabas, pangasius Non air-breathing fishes like common carp, rohu, tilapia, milkfish Shellfishes like vannamei and tiger shrimp ‘© Project will be implemented by the beneficiary under the technical support of Central/statetrainis institutes * Financial assistance in the form of subsidy will be obtained from Govt. (Central and State) and the remaining amount will be bome by self through Self-finance/bank loan. b, Mode of beneficiary selection: Beneficiary selection is done through recommendation of Department of Fisheries respective states c. Risk assessment (Bio-security & Environmental Concern) The project will create no hazards to both human and environment at any cost.7.
