Advantages of Biofloc Technology over conventional pond culture:
| Biofloc Technology | Pond Culture |
| Low Set up cost | High set-up cost |
| Eco friendly Green Technology | Use of pesticide and artificial hormones |
| High density culture | Low density culture |
| 7 ~ 8 times more yield compared to pond culture | Low yield |
| Quantity of feed required 50% Less | Wastage of feed |
| Controlled environment: Easy to control water parameters (pH, TDS etc.) as culture is done in | Uncontrolled environment: Difficult to control water parameters in open ponds |
| Low labour cost | Labour intensive leading to high labour cost |
| Practically no disease in biofloc | Susceptible to disease which is difficult to control |
| No effect of natural calamities | Susceptible to natural calamities such as floods |
