I. Introduction
Smart Biofloc Farming Management
System (SBFMS) is an innovative
approach to shrimp production that
combines the principles of biofloc
technology with advanced monitoring
and
control
systems
[1].
Biofloc
technology is a sustainable aquaculture
method that promotes the growth of
beneficial microbial communities in the
water, which in turn provide a natural
food source for the cultured shrimp [2].
By optimizing the biofloc system through
intelligent management, SBFMS aims to
enhance production efficiency, reduce
environmental impact, and improve
overall profitability [3].
The SBFMS incorporates various
cutting-edge
technologies,
including
sensors, data analytics, and automation,
to create an integrated system that
monitors and controls key parameters in
the shrimp farming process [3]. These
parameters may include water quality,
oxygen levels, pH, temperature, salinity,
and
ammonia
concentration.
By
continuously monitoring these factors,
the SBFMS can provide real-time feedback
and make necessary adjustments to
maintain optimal conditions for shrimp
growth. One of the key advantages of
SBFMS is its ability to precisely regulate
the biofloc system. By fine-tuning factors
such as carbon:nitrogen ratios, water
exchange rates, and feed inputs, the
system can optimize the microbial
community and ensure the availability of
high-quality biofloc for the shrimp [4].
This not only promotes efficient
nutrient utilization but also minimizes
the risk of disease outbreaks and
improves water quality management [5].
The SBFMS also includes remote
monitoring and control capabilities,
allowing farmers to access and manage
their farms from anywhere [6]. By
utilizing mobile applications or webbased interfaces, farmers can monitor
system performance, receive alerts or
notifications, and adjust as needed. This
level of remote control enhances
operational efficiency, saves time, and
enables timely decision-making.
The global demand for shrimp
continues to rise, driving the need for
innovative and sustainable farming
methods. In response to this demand, the
development of Smart Biofloc Farming
Management Systems has emerged as a
groundbreaking solution in shrimp
production.
This
system
combines
advanced technologies, automation, and
biofloc technology to optimize the
farming
process
and
maximize
productivity
while
minimizing
environmental impact. Biofloc technology
is a sustainable aquaculture technique
that utilizes microbial communities
cultivated within the water system to
convert organic waste into nutrient-rich
bioflocs, which serve as a natural food
source for the shrimp. Traditional shrimp
farming methods face various challenges
such as water quality management,
disease
outbreaks,
inefficient
feed
utilization, and manual monitoring and
control.
The Smart Biofloc Farming Management
System combines key components such as
water quality monitoring, environmental
controls, data analytics, and integration
with farm management software to
optimize shrimp production through
technology-driven processes.
The Smart Biofloc Farming Management
System is a significant advancement in
shrimp farming technology, integrating
cutting-edge features and leveraging
biofloc technology to optimize production
processes, improve profitability, and
contribute to the sustainable growth of
the shrimp farming industry. It offers
numerous benefits to shrimp farmers,
such as increased productivity, improved
feed conversion efficiency, enhanced
shrimp health and growth, optimized
resource utilization, reduced labor
requirements, and better environmental
sustainability.
