Vannaimei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) is one of the most widely farmed shrimps in the world, Why it is favored by farmers is 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.
The most important factor users should focus on is the products quality. Shanghai Flojett Co., Ltd is a professional aquaculture manufacturer with more than 10 years experience that offer high quality, long time warranty at competitive price. We are your reliable partner in aquaculture.
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.
Since aerators are with direct contact with seawater, they should be with robust structure and corrosion-resistant materials.
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.
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.
Measure and calculate the total surface area of the ponds.
The number of shrimp per square meter is the stocking density. Different stocking densities require different oxygen, meaning different aerators quantity.
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.
Ponds depth also matters the aerator quantity. The Deeper ponds may require additional aerators to circulate oxygen properly.
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.
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.
