The quality of water in aquaculture directly affects the safety of aquatic organisms and production value. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct real-time monitoring of pond water to ensure the safety of water quality. In this article, let’s take a look together at the four major indicators that must be tested in aquaculture.
Dissolved oxygen, turbidity, pH value and water temperature in water bodies are the four major indicators that must be tested in aquaculture. In the past, traditional water quality testing required staff to take samples from the water body and then conduct tests, which was relatively inconvenient. However, with the continuous progress of society, nowadays there is a water quality detector that can detect various indicators in water in real time. This work has become a routine task in aquaculture, which can help managers control the four major water quality indicators well, thereby promoting the increase in production and income of aquaculture and its green development.
These four indicators have a significant impact on aquatic animals such as fish and shrimp. Simply put, the pH of water quality affects the nutritional components in the water. More importantly, it also influences the growth of fish and shrimp in the water. Different aquatic animals have different requirements for water temperature. If they grow at unsuitable temperatures, it will affect the quality of aquaculture. In addition, turbidity is a standard indicator of water’s fertility. If the water is too turbid, it is very unfavorable for the growth of aquatic organisms. Therefore, it should also be controlled within a certain range to effectively ensure the safe growth of aquatic animals. Another aspect is the dissolved oxygen content in water. Once the oxygen level is insufficient, fish and shrimp will die. Therefore, detecting changes in the dissolved amount of water is one of the effective measures to prevent aquatic product losses.
For the four major indicators that affect the safety of aquaculture, the high-precision real-time online monitoring of water quality detectors can not only promptly identify water quality issues but also take timely measures to solve them.
