Why Use Oxygen?
VSA Oxygen Generators| How VSA Generators Work | Why Use Oxygen?
Traditional aeration methods have been satisfactory in keeping fish alive during drought periods, but often feeding has had to stop as the low dissolved oxygen level is insufficient to allow complete food metabolism. Aeration is not sufficient to improve food conversion. As a result, slow fish growth occurs, and additional oxygen is required.
By increasing the dissolved oxygen concentration in the water, many benefits can be seen throughout the year:
- Increased food conversion ratio
- Decreased stress
- Decreased disease
- Decreased mortality rates
- Increased stocking density
Which mean that the fish farmer benefits by:
- Increased production
- Lower unit costs
- Higher profitability
