The traditional way of fish farming comes with its demerits like time consumption, dependence on nature, harmful effects on the environment, and not enough fulfillment of demands.  So many of Asia’s top shrimp-industries are successfully shifting to the Biofloc technique, especially in Bangladesh as it is possible to cultivate fish 10 to 20 times more than traditional methods or any other process. Bangladesh has many ponds and rivers, so Biofloc fish farming is a very profitable and economical method and has enormous potential there.  It provides the best utilization of land and water resource and does not compromise on the feeding resources.

Biofloc has had a huge impact on aquaculture, with a tremendous rise in fish production in Bangladesh. This method of fish farming, which is applicable for practically all types of fish industry, is responsible for the enhanced rate of fish development and improved quality. This technology produces the highest quality fish with zero to low environmental impact, making it an excellent answer to aquaculture's problems.

Biofloc technology has the potential to aid in the attainment of sustainable development goals by enhancing aquaculture production. This technique has the potential to increase production while reducing environmental impact. Furthermore, biofloc systems can be created and implemented in conjunction with other forms of food production, resulting in more productive integrated systems that aim to produce more food and feed from the same amount of land with less inputs.
