Constant changes are taking place in any aquaculture facility, whether indoors or outdoors, and it is vital that these systems are monitored for changes that could negatively affect organisms living in them. Technology improvements allow users to collect data directly on site using single or multiparameter instrumentation instead of being required to collect a sample for laboratory analysis. In addition to collecting periodic data, real-time data is available using telemetry systems that can feed data into nearly any data hosting platform. Data provided by a monitoring instrument in this application should at a minimum include temperature and dissolved oxygen, but additional parameters of interest can also be monitored, such as turbidity, nitrate, algae, and more. Having data available instantaneously allows users to make real-time decisions on operational adjustments including feeding and aeration timing. As the push for larger and higher quality yields continues to increase due to population growth and demand, the risk of losing harvests becomes more of a financial detriment to farms than ever before. An easy-to-use piece of monitoring equipment can allow users to rest easy knowing that tanks and pens are being accurately sampled – possibly without even being physically present.
