In aquaculture, water quality is a crucial factor in the success of fish production. This is because fish breathe through their gills, exchanging gases directly with the water. If the water parameters are not adequate, the health of the fish will be directly affected.

Algae blooms and other environmental challenges can jeopardize the operation of a fish farm. At CPI Equipment, we are leaders in implementing aeration systems to combat these problems and ensure a healthy fish environment.

Why is air important in fish culture?

As FAO explain, air is essential for the survival of fish, just as it is for any other living thing. Dissolved oxygen in the water is essential for fish respiration. Proper aeration ensures that sufficient oxygen is available in the water to meet the needs of fish, especially in densely populated areas where competition for oxygen can be high.

Benefits of aeration in fish culture:

Improves water quality: Aeration helps keep water clean and oxygenated, thereby reducing the risk of disease and improving overall fish health.

Promotes healthy growth: A well-aerated environment provides optimal conditions for fish to thrive and grow healthily.

Prevents disease: Stagnant, poorly aerated water can create conditions conducive to the proliferation of pathogens and bacteria that can affect fish health.

Reduces stress: Changes in oxygen levels and water temperature can cause stress on fish, which can negatively affect their health and growth. Good aeration can help stabilize the environment within salmon farms, reducing stress associated with environmental fluctuations.

CPI Titan ODiN aeration systems:

CPI’s ODiN Titan aeration system has proven to be an effective solution for protecting against harmful algal blooms and creating a healthy environment for fish. This advanced system features data tracking and is on its way to artificial intelligence predictive software to optimize HAB monitoring, maintain water quality and facilitate stabilization of the culture environment.

CPI’s air diffusers:

The diffusers used by CPI are placed in ponds at various depths and each system is tailored specifically to the needs of the customer and the job site. Water circulation is carefully calculated to improve harvest, enhance treatment procedures, aid in temperature control, improve water quality and protect against FAN and sea lice.

Working in partnership with nature:

At CPI Equipment, we work in collaboration with the natural ocean to bring water up from the deep and establish an environment that blocks HABs and other environmental concerns.

Air: An Essential Element in Aquaculture

Air is a vital element in salmon farming that should not be overlooked. Proper aeration can improve water quality, promote healthy fish growth, prevent disease and reduce stress, thus contributing to the overall success of salmon aquaculture.
