Around aquaculture

1. Gratings

Gratings are perforated platforms placed around or above ponds to facilitate the movement of fish farmers. They offer several advantages:

• Secure access to ponds by preventing slipping.
• Facilitate water and waste drainage.
• Can be made of plastic, galvanized metal, or treated wood.

2. Small Handling Equipment

• Nets: Used to catch and handle fish without harming them. Available in various sizes and mesh types.
• Sorting and storage bins: Allow sorting fish by size before sale or further growth.
• Basins and buckets: Useful for transporting fish, distributing feed, or collecting water samples.
• Scales and balances: Essential for measuring fish growth and adjusting feeding.

3. Aeration and Oxygenation Equipment

• Surface aerators: Oxygenate the water by creating movement on the surface.
• Oxygen diffusers: Provide oxygen in the form of fine bubbles, often used in intensive systems.
• Air compressors: Supply oxygen to diffusers and improve water quality.

4. Feeding Systems

• Automatic feeders: Schedule feed distribution at precise times.
• Manual feeding hoppers: Allow controlled feeding of fish.
• Scoops and dispensers: Used to measure and distribute pellets or live feed.

5. Filtration and Water Treatment Equipment

• Mechanical filters: Retain solid waste present in the water.
• Biological filters: Promote the breakdown of organic matter through bacteria.
• UV lamps: Disinfect water by eliminating harmful microorganisms.

6. Protection and Safety Equipment

• Protective nets: Prevent predators (birds, mammals) from accessing the ponds.
• Fences: Secure the site against intrusions.
• Waterproof gloves and boots: Protect fish farmers from moisture and injuries.

7. Monitoring Systems

• Probes and sensors: Measure real-time parameters such as temperature, pH, and oxygen levels.
• Surveillance cameras: Allow remote monitoring of facilities.
