Biofloc Fish Farming For Dummies

The topic of Biofloc can be dry and uninteresting, but I aimed to lighten the tone and make it more conversational in my book to make it more engaging. You may find some repetition and informal writing throughout, as this book is not intended to be a serious, in-depth scientific analysis of the techniques of biofloc. Rather, it is geared towards novice readers and is intended to be entertaining and lighthearted. As a hobbyist rather than a professional, I offer insights into the challenges that new farmers may encounter in biofloc farming. This book is not suitable for professional fish farmers seeking advanced or scientific information, but rather is written for newcomers seeking a fun and informative introduction to the subject.
