Fish farming is a branch of agriculture focused on breeding fish to improve and increase populations of fish and other aquatic organisms in water bodies. Its goal is to produce high-quality and safe fish products for various uses, including food, scientific research, commercial sale, and ornamental purposes.
Fish farming is practised by professional scientific institutions, industrial enterprises, and hobbyists alike. This field encompasses numerous disciplines such as breeding selection, genetics, biology, ecology, and food technology. Fish farming is carried out both in natural water bodies (rivers, lakes) and in specially equipped facilities (ponds, aquariums, fish farms).
Fish farming plays a vital role in the food industry by ensuring the stable production of fish and seafood that are part of human diets. It also contributes to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem balance, and the preservation of wild fish stocks.
Currently, fish farming is a highly demanded and promising business. The demand for oxygen adsorption stations in this sector is rapidly growing. Our company offers a wide range of such stations and provides necessary support for the launch of technological processes. We aim to assist businesses in achieving their goals and sustainable development.
Our company has extensive experience in both open and closed fish farming systems. We understand that open fish farming requires access to suitable natural water bodies for installing fish farms. However, not all enterprises have such opportunities and instead place their tanks on open water sources like rivers and lakes. Considering these limitations, we focus on developing closed indoor fish farming facilities.
Closed fish farming offers several advantages, including controlled environmental conditions, more efficient resource use, and protection from external threats such as pests and ecological disasters. Indoor tank placement allows optimal control of water temperature, quality, and feeding regimes, facilitating better management and ensuring high-quality, safe products for subsequent market distribution.
The process of launching and managing a fish farm includes the following steps:
- Site selection: Choose a suitable location considering the availability of fresh water, temperature, chemical composition, water flow, and species-specific requirements.
- Permits and licenses: Obtain necessary permits from local authorities related to water use, construction, and fish species breeding as per legal regulations.
- Planning and design: Develop detailed farm plans including pond sizes, types, equipment, and water quality control systems, optimising for fish growth conditions.
- Equipment and stock procurement: Acquire pumps, filters, aeration systems, oxygen stations, and high-quality fish stock from reliable suppliers.
- Farm launch: Install equipment and stock ponds with fish, closely monitoring water temperature, quality, and feeding. Use automated oxygen supply control panels to maintain optimal oxygen levels.
- Management and sales: Regularly monitor water quality, maintain fish health, prevent diseases, and develop marketing strategies to ensure profitability.
Launching and running a fish farm demands serious time, resources, and financial investments. Conduct thorough market research and evaluate potential profitability before starting.
Oxygen
Fish farming requires maintaining optimal oxygen levels in water. Oxygen is essential for fish survival; its deficiency negatively impacts health, growth, and survival rates.
Fish consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide. Oxygen shortage leads to suffocation and mortality. It also promotes disease development, growth retardation, and poor meat quality.
To maintain adequate oxygen, fish farmers use aeration systems like aerators, pumps, and air curtains, designed to supply sufficient oxygen to the water, ensuring fish health and comfort.
We have covered the importance of oxygen in fish farming in a dedicated publication.
