For pond aquaculture and RAS systems, the focus of monitoring is more often on managing density in enclosed spaces. Without critical water quality data, efforts to increase yields in limited space can have devastating consequences, wiping out an entire stock before the farmer ever detects a problem. While dissolved oxygen levels are always a concern, open coastal spaces allow for more flow between pens, lowering the risk that farmers may create hypoxic conditions by increasin

The aquaculture industry is growing fast, facing constant pressure to produce more for less. Interest in fish and shrimp is increasing as people around the world recognize seafood as a great source of protein and an essential part of a healthy diet. As demand increases, farmers face a dilemma: how can they produce more product without increasing operational costs? Increasing density in a pond or tank is one way to meet rising demand and pull in profit. But this delicate busin
