There's a shrimp farm in Indiana I took a class at about a year and a half ago. They raise their shrimp in biofloc. But anyways they do consulting work too and have helped other shrimp farms get off the ground.

Biofloc system needs a clear understanding of phytoplanktons, zoo planktons, copiods and their over all health. Here you are not feeding anything to shrimps, rather feeding the plankton which multiply and become food for the shrimps.. we need to understand that for a commercial business a good body weight of shrimps is needed to fetch good price in the market. Buofloc will still require commercial protein feed to compensate the lack of protein which actually helps in gaining body weight. Else the shrimps will look bigger but the weight would be less.

I see now why you ommitted that part.
Are you planning future projects in places like Donetsk or South Sudan?

I have been farming shrimps for more than 10 years now. Indoor setup includes a more robust infrastructure than open pond systems. If those are at place then its easier to grow than most of the intensive culture systems
