BFT as a production system for intensification has been shown limiting.

BFT being defined as any shrimp culture that needs a sedimentation (Imhoff) cone to measure biofloc of system.

Above 5kg/cbm super-intensive shrimp culture systems are moving away from BFT to RAS ( forget all the hybrid hype).

Microbially managed systems use biofilters and other techniques but don’t use or measure biofloc (no need the Imhoff cone)his article confuses BFT culture with super-intensive, RAS and microbial management systems.

This article opinion confuses BFT culture with super-intensive, RAS and microbial management systems.
