Large-scale Aquaculture Farms and RAS Systems

For large-scale commercial aquaculture, we require timely and accurate water quality monitoring.
RAS systems require continuous, real-time water quality monitoring data. An IoT-based aquaculture water quality monitoring system that ensures both data stability and continuity.

Our recommended solution:

Multi-parameter Real-time Water Quality Monitoring System.

Different probes can be flexibly selected as needed. Each of our probes operates independently; if a single probe is damaged, it can be replaced individually, thereby reducing operational and maintenance costs.

Real-time data is displayed directly alongside each aquaculture tank, allowing on-site personnel to monitor changes in water quality data promptly. This facilitates efficient management of aquaculture water quality.

The monitor features a built-in wireless module capable of transmitting data to a mobile phone, enabling remote wireless monitoring of aquaculture water quality data.

IoT-based and Wireless aquaculture water quality monitoring system

Each fish and shrimp tank is equipped with a display screen, which is hardwired to a central PLC control unit, thereby ensuring the stability of data transmission.

The PLC control cabinet is capable of transmitting data via wireless signals directly to the manager’s mobile phone, enabling remote monitoring of water quality data for the fish farm.

Upgradeable remote fish farm monitoring and control system
Through our self-developed aquaculture monitoring software, it can control the aeration system and the circulation system.

Water Quality Parameters In Aquaculture and Their Significance

Meas. ItemsSignificance in aquaculture
Dissolved oxygen(mg/L)Dissolved oxygen: The measured value is expressed as milligrams of oxygen per liter of water (mg/L).
If the DO value is too low can directly kill fish and shrimp, which is especially critical in high-density resalient-acid RAS environments.
In our fish farm tests, a high DO value can improve fish vitality and even offset some of the negative effects of excessive ammonia nitrogen and nitrite.
Temperature(°C)Temperature: The measured value is Celsius (°C).
Temperature is one of the most basic water quality parameters, and different species have different optimal and stable water temperatures.
Take tilapia as an example. As a typical tropical fish, it grows rapidly in water temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius. If the water temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius, it will hardly grow and may even die.
pH(pH)pH: Measure pH values in the range of 0 to 14.
pH value is one of the basic conditions for measuring water quality. In freshwater, it can be used to measure the content of harmful organic matter; if it is too low, the levels of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite in the water will generally be higher.

In saline aquaculture, it is a fundamental standard for directly measuring water quality, and it is especially important in artificial seawater aquaculture.

ORP(mV)ORP: A measure of the redox capacity of an aqueous solution, measured in mV.
Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) is a leading indicator of water quality changes and serves as an early warning system.
A higher ORP value indicates less organic matter in the water, suggesting that the filtration system is functioning well or producing less organic matter.
A lower ORP value indicates more organic matter in the water. In this case, the filtration system or dissolved oxygen levels should be checked. If not addressed promptly, ammonia nitrogen and nitrite levels will rise rapidly.
Salinity(PPT)Salinity: The measured value is Parts Per Thousand (PPT).

Salt content is directly proportional to electrical conductivity; the higher the electrical conductivity, the higher the salt content.
Freshwater aquaculture, artificial seawater aquaculture, and natural seawater aquaculture require completely different salinity levels.

EC(S/m)Electrical Conductivity (EC):The measured value is Siemens per meter (S/m).

Electrical conductivity is a numerical representation of a solution’s ability to conduct electric current. In aquaculture water, electrical conductivity is an important indicator for measuring the water’s salinity, ionic content, impurities, and other characteristics. The purer the water, the lower its conductivity and the higher its resistivity.

TDS(mg/L)TDS:Total dissolved solids,The measured value is milligrams per liter (mg/L).

TDS indicates how many milligrams of dissolved solids are dissolved in one liter of water. A higher TDS value indicates that the water contains more impurities.

NH4+(mg/L)NH4+: This refers to the amount of NH4+ ions in aquaculture water, measured in mg/L.

This indicator does not represent the total ammonia nitrogen in the water, but a high NH4+ level indicates a higher concentration of waste and organic pollutants in the water.

NO3-(mg/L)NO3-: This refers to the NO3- ions in aquaculture water, measured in mg/L.

The lower this level, the better. High values indicate that ammonia nitrogen has been converted to nitrite, but the nitrite is not being decomposed in time, potentially causing problems with the biological filtration system.

O₃(ppm)O₃: Refers to the residual ozone content in the water, measured in ppm.

This value is generally measured after using an ozone sterilizer to control the ozone concentration within a safe range and prevent excessive residual ozone from damaging the fish’s eyes and gills.

FAQ for Aquaculture Water Quality Monitoring System

What is the most important parameter in an aquaculture water quality monitoring system?

Dissolved oxygen and temperature.

Significant deviations in these two values ​​will quickly kill fish and shrimp, causing severe losses. Deviations in other values ​​usually have ample time to improve.

Freshwater fish – Do, temperature, pH, ammonia nitrogen, and nitrite.

Saltwater fish – In addition to the above, salinity measurement is required.

Real-time monitoring requires installation next to each fish tank for continuous testing. The probe measures at a normal speed, updating data every 2-5 minutes.

Handheld water analyzers are portable and require rapid data measurement. The probe measures at a fast speed, providing the necessary data in 20-60 seconds.

This is quite simple, roughly divided into three parts:

1. Each or a group of aeration tanks requires a set of water quality sensors. These sensors transmit data to a receiver and screen on-site via signal lines.

2. Each receiver is connected to the PLC control system via a RS-485 signal line.

3. The PLC control system transmits signals to mobile devices via a wireless network.

Upgradeable functionality: The PLC control system can be linked to the aeration system or temperature system.

We highly recommend using test reagents; sensor readings are for reference only.

In aquaculture sensors, the measurements of ammonia nitrogen and nitrite represent free ions in the water, which do not reflect the total content of these substances.

The measurement methods using test reagents are well-established and inexpensive.
