Biofloc Shrimp Growout Ponds

​Biofloc Shrimp Growout Ponds

At Aqua Mitra, our journey into biofloc shrimp farming began with a clear understanding that infrastructure is not just about construction - it is about performance. Over the years, we have successfully constructed more than 27,00,000 square meters of biofloc shrimp ponds across the East and West coasts of India. Each project reflects our belief that scientific design, engineering precision, and field practicality must work together to deliver sustainable and profitable aquaculture systems.

Biofloc technology represents a shift in the way shrimp farming is approached. Instead of relying heavily on water exchange, the system converts waste nutrients into beneficial microbial biomass, creating a natural supplementary feed within the pond itself. This process not only improves feed efficiency but also enhances water stability and biosecurity. When properly designed and managed, biofloc systems allow farmers to achieve higher stocking densities while maintaining environmental balance.

However, the success of a biofloc system does not depend on technology alone. It begins with the pond itself.

Every biofloc pond we construct starts with a detailed site visit and technical evaluation. We study the land contours, tidal patterns where applicable, historical satellite data, and local climatic conditions. These factors help us determine the optimal pond layout, depth, and slope to ensure stable water quality and efficient sludge management. Even small variations in gradient or depth can significantly affect dissolved oxygen distribution and solid waste movement — two critical parameters in biofloc farming.

The size and shape of a pond are carefully customized based on the client’s production targets, stocking density, and harvest strategy. We design ponds to facilitate natural water circulation and efficient sludge collection, minimizing dead zones and improving overall pond health. Central drainage systems are strategically integrated to simplify waste removal, while fish-bone piping systems ensure effective water distribution throughout the pond.

Pond dikes are engineered not merely as water barriers but as structural components that support operational movement and protect the facility from flooding. We evaluate load-bearing requirements and soil stability to ensure long-term durability. Where required, HDPE geomembrane lining is installed with precision to enhance biosecurity, prevent seepage, and extend the lifespan of the pond.

Catwalk systems are incorporated for ease of management, feeding operations, aerator maintenance, and routine inspection. Every element is designed with operational practicality in mind, ensuring that farm personnel can manage the system efficiently throughout the production cycle.

What distinguishes Aqua Mitra’s approach is the integration of aquaculture science with engineering discipline. We do not simply construct ponds, we build controlled aquatic environments tailored to maximize shrimp growth, optimize feed conversion, and support consistent yields. Our experience across diverse coastal regions has allowed us to refine designs that adapt to different soil conditions, water salinity levels, and environmental factors.

​

In biofloc farming, performance begins with precision. From site assessment to CAD-based design, from drainage planning to final execution, each step is handled with meticulous attention to detail. The result is a biofloc shrimp grow-out system built not only for today’s production needs but for long-term sustainability and profitability.

​

At Aqua Mitra, we believe that when infrastructure is thoughtfully engineered, technology performs at its best. Our biofloc ponds stand as a testament to that philosophy — combining innovation, durability, and practical expertise to support the future of modern shrimp farming.
