Air heating

Air heating for aquaculture

Air heating in aquaculture is a method used to maintain a stable ambient temperature in aquaculture facilities such as hatcheries, greenhouses, or indoor fish farms. This system is essential in environments where external temperatures can affect water temperature or the well-being of aquatic species, especially in temperate or cold regions.

Function and Purpose

  • Heats the ambient air in culture areas (greenhouses, hatchery halls, production buildings).

  • Helps reduce heat loss from water by minimizing thermal differences between air and water.

  • Promotes better growth of fish and invertebrates by maintaining a stable, low-stress climate.

  • Enhances the comfort of staff and the efficiency of technical equipment (filters, pumps, etc.).

Types of Air Heating Systems

  • Electric or hot water air heaters

  • Gas or fuel oil hot air generators

  • Radiant heating systems (infrared)

  • Systems integrated with heat pumps

Common Applications

  • Breeding facilities (hatcheries) and juvenile fish production units.

  • Aquaponic greenhouses and Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS).

  • Tropical species farms, where constant warmth is required.

  • Fish farming buildings in cold or seasonal climates.
