Which sustainable aquaculture technique utilizes beneficial bacteria to recycle waste and maintain water quality in a closed tank system?

A)
Aquaponics
B)
Hydroponics
C)
Recirculating Aquaculture Systems
D)
Biofloc Technology

Correct Answer :   Biofloc Technology


* Biofloc Technology (BFT) is a sustainable aquaculture technique that uses beneficial bacteria to recycle organic waste in a closed tank system.

* These bacteria, like Bacillus and Pseudomonas, convert waste into microbial biomass that fish can consume, providing both water quality management and nutrition.

* This method reduces the need for frequent water changes and external chemicals, making it cost-effective, especially for small-scale farms. It also helps prevent diseases by maintaining a clean environment and reducing the need for antibiotics.
