The production of tilapia fish in the biofloc system has received attention in recent years. Due to the limitation of water resources, it is important to use methods that guarantee water conservation. In addition, the control of aquaculture wastewater and ensuring that live tilapia samples do not escape from reproduction and breeding workshops are emphasized by the environmental point of view. On the other hand, reducing production costs helps the development of tilapia fish aquaculture industry. In this study, the construction of simple tanks using available and low-cost facilities in a greenhouse for the production of tilapia in the biofloc system has been surveyed.
Production and consumption of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus have increased in the world. The development of tilapia fish production in Iran is in the early stages and is limited to central areas that have closed water sources and do not have access to open waters. Different aspects of tilapia aquaculture in Iran have been studied based on a research project, since 2008. At present, the development of intensive tilapia culture schemes is the agenda of Fisheries Organization of Iran. Challenges such as water limitation, disease and different inputs are especially the most important limiting factors of the development of tilapia culture. This review aims to reduce production costs and low-cost domestic setup with limited capital facilities. The results of the study showed that the construction of the proposed structure reduced the cost of investment in tilapia fish farming by 70%.
