Biofloc Technology

BFT is a sustainable aquaculture method where beneficial microorganisms convert fish waste into live food — reducing cost, improving growth and protecting the environment.

🔬

Zero Water Exchange

The system recycles water using microbial communities. Only 50–100 litres per tank is exchanged daily — saving water and preventing pollution.

Higher Biosecurity

Closed-system tanks with shade netting and controlled aeration reduce disease risk and protect the fish from outside contamination.

📈

Better Growth Performance

The microbial protein in the floc supplements commercial feed, improving FCR to 1:1.2 and achieving 300–350g harvest weight in 6 months.

🌊

HDPE Geomembrane Tanks

4–12m diameter growing tanks and 4–5m nursery tanks built with food-grade HDPE sheets — durable, food-safe and easy to manage.

🐟

GIFT Tilapia Strain

Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia developed over 10 generations — known for fast growth, high survival, good flesh quality and disease resistance.

♻️

Eco-Friendly Waste

No solid waste is produced. Water released at the end of each cycle is nutrient-rich and used for agriculture — a complete circular system.
