#biofloctechnology

Biofloc fish farming is the newest fish farming technology which requires to farm fish in a captivated tank with some controlled environment created for it. So here comes the catch, what types of the tank is best for biofloc aquaculture is the most asked questions. There are types of tanks people are using are-

1- Cement tanks

2- Plastic tanks

3- Tarpaulin tanks

Now we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of each kind of tank available in the market which will make you decide which kind of biofloc tank is reasonably good and having an advantage over each other, that will make you decide the type of tank you should use.

 Cement tanks are highly durable and used on the primary level because of their strength of water carrying capacity. But it is still not accepted widely because of a lot of factors that are associated with cement tanks. The main disadvantages are shown below

1- Controlling various factors in cement tank is not cost-effective

2- Initial investment for Cement tanks is high

3- Temperature needs to be controlled as it is prone to environmental temperature changes

4- Washing, cleaning, and drainage can be more difficult in cement tanks.

5- Shifting cement tanks cannot possible and in case of any damage repairing can take time.

 Plastic tanks are easier to install and cost-effective too. But working with plastic tanks can come with lots of hurdles.

1- Plastic tanks come with different shapes, so filling a particular place with plastic tanks can be a hurdle.

2- In Case of any damage replacement cost is high

3- Investment in plastic tanks is relatively higher than other tanks

4- Making the drainage system in plastic tanks is more difficult.

 At last, the most widely used tanks in biofloc technology are tarpaulin tanks. These types of tanks are used widely because it can be formed into any shape of tanks. But the widely accepted shape of tanks is of circular and rectangular. Mainly people do farm with a capacity of 5000, 10000, 20000, 30000 liters biofloc tanks. 

 The benefits of tarpaulin tanks are given below-

1- Cost of the initial setup for these types of tanks are low with low maintenance charges

2- Drainage system and process to set a tank are very accessible and easy to do.

3- Damage replacement cost is very low

4- The total fixed cost is very low.

Due to several advantages, there are competitive advantages to use these tanks in biofloc fish farming. But there are several types of biofloc tarpaulin available in the market out of which types of tarpaulin should be used is to be taken care of.

There is various type of biofloc tarpaulin available in India, out of which Both sides coated PVC tarpaulin lasts more than 5 year otherwise other types of tarpaulin has a lesser period of durability. Kisanflex manufactures the best quality 650 GSM blue color, UV stabilized PVC fish tank in the market which It lasts more than 5 years and has a competitive advantage over other products. There is a clean difference given between Silpaulin Tarpaulin and Other brands tarpaulins

BioFloc Fish Farming is revolutionizing the future food needs

 Fish farming traditionally has many drawbacks. But it evolved after the ages to produce a huge number of fishes in lesser space with Biofloc technology which has a competitive advantage over the traditional technique. 

 Current food needs in the world is growing due to population boom and the popularity of fish is drastically improved due to it, whereas the supply of fish becoming stagnant due to pollution, plastic and many factors, etc. To tackle this needs scientists have developed a technique to produce it commercially with less space, in lesser time with a less inorganic food requirement.

 In the world, there are very few countries who explored the Biofloc technique and producing fish. In India, Biofloc fish cultivation is at the stagnant stage, but we are taken the Initiative to change the game overall which has changed the fate of more than 5000 farmers. 

“As a fish farmer for the past 10 years I have experienced a lot of challenges and issues in the traditional fish farming business, which is completely gone nowadays due to what @Kisanflex has offered to us to farm with Biofloc Technology” says Mr. Suman who is traditionally a fish farmer from Kolkata making lakhs of revenue every month.

 As Mr Suman has experienced a hefty growth with this new technology, there are more than 4000 farmers who changed the fate of their life using these new innovative fish farming techniques across India within the last 1 year.

 Kisanflex has pioneered the art of fish farming by exploring new possibilities to farmers which show a promise to poor farmers who could earn their handsome livelihood through this modern technology.

What Kisanflex did in the past 1 year is not rocket science, but what has achieved tremendous progress for those who didn’t know how to farm effectively for a better livelihood.

 As through an Interview, Mr. Suman told there are traditionally many challenges in the traditional fish farming business which is listed below

 1- Fish ponds sometimes lack enough nutrients for feeds that are produced traditionally.

2- Production times are generally higher

3- No Such measurement to check production rate, oxygen concentration, etc.

4- Return on investment is considerably low, much the time he lost a considerable amount due to some external factors.

5- Fishes are prone to diseases

6- Protein deficiency and growth periods have been a major issue.

7- Starting fish farming traditionally costs a large number of set up costs.

 Due to these factors above he was looking to change some sustainable farming technology that would eradicate these issues and focus on the yields. Surprisingly Kisanflex has facilitated this technology with solving these issues with a very low investment. 

 How these problems being solved by @kisanflex using Biofloc Technology.

 1- What Kisanflex did was Mind Blowing. They introduced Sustainable PVC coated tarpaulin tanks whose investment to start a new fish farming project is very less. Compared to investment the return it gives is very high. 

 2- In Biofloc technology waste products of the fish are converted into floc and then the same became food for fish resulting in lesser feed cost.

 3- It has a particular timeframe and projected yield period as it is controlled artificially.

 4- Fish production through this technique requires less space and area. One 4m diameter tank with a capacity of 10000 liters of water can produce biomass of 500 kilos in 4-5 months.

 5- Comparing investment in this modern technology, Ideally, You can start biofloc fish farming business at a minimum cost of capital at 30,000 rupees.

 6- Return varies from farmer to farmer if they are farmed carefully it tends to give a higher rate of profit margin up to 250-300%.

 These are the primary reason behind biofloc adoption by Farmers. Henceforth it has been adopted by 5000 farmers till then.

 Being a successful model a lot of people are joining @Kisanflex moment for better fish-farming.
