Abstract: Biofloc system is rapidly developing globally in recent days. This technology has tremendous ability to maintain water quality conditions; provides surplus food, nutrition and healthcare; increases production, profitability and hence ensures biosecurity and sustainability and also reduces the costs along with including better technology in farming. In this aspect biofloc aquaculture system can be a better way than the traditional aquaculture in Bangladesh. This review is discussed global aquaculture fishes and crustaceans cultured in biofloc system and its prospects in Bangladesh. This review shows, some global aquaculture candidates including tilapia, carps, catfishes, perch, prawn and shrimp have been successfully cultured in biofloc system in tropical and subtropical region. These global species along with other indigenous aquaculture candidates have enormous potentiality to be implicated in biofloc system. These species can be used to contribute in enhancing aquaculture production, support aquaculture value chain actors for income generation and subsistence. The implication of biofloc system in this country may have recognized a new pathway moving towards traditional system to modern intensive aquaculture system. Therefore, this review suggests research, development and extension program of biofloc system for brood-stock development, nursery operation and grow-out production in Bangladesh.
