Aquaculture Water Quality Monitoring System for Fish & Shrimp Farming | GAIMC

The Critical Role of Water Quality in Modern Aquaculture

Aquaculture can provide a large number of fish, shrimp and other aquatic products. While meeting human demand for high-quality protein, it also plays a positive role in protecting endangered species and promoting the balance of aquatic ecosystems. Water quality is the lifeline of aquaculture. Good water quality can not only ensure the normal growth and reproduction of aquatic animals, but also prevent drug residues from causing adverse effects on aquatic product quality and the environment.

Key Water Quality Parameters for Healthy Aquaculture

Monitoring the following critical parameters is essential to prevent disease, optimize growth, and maximize yield in your aquaculture operation.

1. pH Level

The suitable pH range for most freshwater organisms is between 6.5 and 8.5. The appropriate pH value can promote the growth of aquatic animals and increase production.

2. Dissolved Oxygen (DO)

The dissolved oxygen should be maintained at 5~8mg/L. Too low dissolved oxygen will cause floating head phenomenon, and in severe cases, death.

3. Water Temperature

Water temperature is one of the most important physical indicators in aquaculture. Different aquatic animals have their own suitable water temperature range. Too high or too low water temperature will affect the metabolism, growth and development, and immune function of aquatic organisms.

4. Ammonia Nitrogen

Ammonia nitrogen mainly comes from the excrement and leftover bait of aquatic animals. When the concentration of ammonia nitrogen is too high, it will damage the gills, liver and other organs of aquatic animals, significantly slow down their growth rate and reduce their immunity.

Smart Aquaculture Water Quality Monitoring & Automation System

GAIMC provides tailored monitoring solutions for different breeding environments (freshwater, seawater, artificial seawater) to track key water parameters in real-time: water temperature, light, dissolved oxygen, pH, ORP, residual chlorine, turbidity, conductivity, salinity, and ammonia ions.

Our system goes beyond monitoring to enable direct control. Through a relay control system, it can automatically operate equipment like aerators and pH buffer dosing units, enabling unattended operation. Real-time data is transmitted to a backend monitoring system via RS485 or to a cloud platform via wireless modules, facilitating remote management and monitoring.

This integrated solution not only enables digital, continuous monitoring with automatic alarms but also allows operators to understand water quality changes online in real-time. The result is a significant reduction in management workload, lower maintenance costs, and a substantial increase in breeding output.
