A Study on the Growth Performance of Far Eastern Catfish Silurus Asotus and Vegetable Lactuca Sativa L. c. Fidel in an Aquaponics System Based on Biofloc Technology (BFT) and Hydroponic System

Fish farm monitoring report for outdoor aquaculture of far eastern catfish Silurus asotus in Korea

“…1). To overcome this issue and develop a sustainable catfish aquaculture industry, advanced aquaculture technologies such as bioflocs technology (BFT), recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), smart aquaculture, and eco-friendly aquaculture technologies with aquaponics and Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) need to be applied (Hwang et al, 2021;Kim et al, 2019aKim et al, , 2022Lee et al, 2019). In addition, it has been reported that catfish grow well and support the possibility of BFT and aquaponic systems (Kim et al, 2019b).…”

“…However, production decreased to 3,783 tons in 2021, and this decreasing trend continues. In recent years, attempts have been made to develop a stagnant catfish farming industry through technological development and industrialization of S. asotus farming that combines eco-friendly aquaculture with biofloc technology and asquaponics (Kim et al, 2022;Park et al, 2021).…”
