Aquaculture Equipment for Shrimp

Vannaimei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is one of the most widely farmed shrimps in the world. It is favored by farmers because of its fast growth and high economic value. However, Vannaimei shrimp has high requirements for dissolved oxygen (DO) in water, especially in high-density farming mode. Reasonable and right selection of oxygenation equipment is crucial to improve survival rate, feed utilization rate and improve the economic value.

Tips for Selecting Shrimp Pond Aerators

1. Quality Assurance

The most important factor users should focus on is the product's quality.  Shanghai Flojett Co., Ltd is one of the professional aquaculture equipment manufacturers with more than 10 years experience that offer high quality, long-term warranty at a competitive price. We are your reliable partner in aquaculture.

2. Power Consideration

Oxygen demands in shrimp ponds vary based on stocking density, pond area, and shrimp growth stage. Higher stocking densities and larger pond areas need more aeration. Users should adjust aerator size accordingly.

3. Rust Resistance Material

Since the shrimp farming aerator comes into direct contact with seawater, it should have a robust structure and be made of corrosion-resistant materials.

4. Energy cost saving

With the development of technology, we offer energy saving reliable solutions for customers, like permanent magnet motor, solar energy aerators. Customers can choose depends on their needs.

Determining the Quantity of Required Aerators

To figure out the quantity of shrimp pond aerators needed, several factors must be considered: pond size shrimp stocking density, oxygen demand, water depth, etc.

1. Calculate Pond Area

Measure and calculate the total surface area of the ponds.

2. Shrimp Stocking  Density

The number of shrimp per square meter is the stocking density. Different stocking densities require different oxygen, meaning different aerators quantity.

3. Estimate Oxygen Demand

Shrimp consume oxygen based on their growth stage and biomass. As a general rule, one 1 HP aerator can support around 500 kg of shrimp biomass.

4. Consider Water Depth

Ponds depth also matters the aerator quantity. The Deeper ponds may require additional aerators to circulate oxygen properly.

5. Use an Aerator Placement Strategy

Aerators should be evenly distributed to maximize oxygen flow. Paddle wheel aerators are typically placed along pond edges to create currents, while diffuser disk, aeration hose or deep jet aerators are used for deeper aeration.

6. Adjust for Shrimp Growth Stages

Early-stage shrimp require fewer oxygen, while larger shrimp need more oxygen. Adjust the aerator quantity according to the shrimp growing stage,

By considering above factors, you can optimize aeration, ensuring a healthy environment for shrimp growth. You just feel free to contact us for further products information.
