Understanding biofloc in aquaculture production systems (Part 1)

It is an essential source of nutrition, as well as a source of income for large number of communities. Aquaculture is here to stay, despite opposition to aquaculture from segments of the NGO community and commercial fisher folk. It is also certain to play an ever increasingly important role in feeding the Earth`s burgeoning population.
