Aquaculture - Biofloc Systems


The UVI Aquaculture Program has developed a Biofloc System which produces 6,000 lbs of tilapia per six-month crop using biologically active and suspended solids as the primary waste treatment process.  Aeration, settleable solids removal, pH adjustments and anaerobic denitrification are additional management practices which allow high yields.
