Laboratory equipment

Water is a key factor in aquaculture and aquariology. It is essential to monitor its physico-chemical parameters.

AQUACULTURE France distributes a wide range of laboratory equipment.

pH meter: Measures the acidity or alkalinity of the water.
Conductivity meter: Evaluates the salinity and electrical conductivity of the water.
Oximeter: Determines the amount of dissolved oxygen, which is essential for the respiration of fish and invertebrates.
Chemical testers (colorimetric or electronic): Measure concentrations of ammonia (NH₃), nitrites (NO₂⁻), nitrates (NO₃⁻), phosphates (PO₄³⁻), and other elements.
Turbidimeter: Evaluates water clarity by measuring turbidity.
Thermometer and thermostats: Monitor and regulate water temperature.
Sampling and filtration equipment is also very important for collecting water samples or filtering suspended particles.
Nets and sieves: To gently capture aquatic organisms.
Membrane filters: Allow the analysis of microorganisms or particles in the water.

Managing the aquatic environment requires several essential laboratory tools.

Microscopes and binocular magnifiers: Essential for observing microorganisms, parasites, and fish cells.
Petri dishes and culture media: Used to cultivate bacteria and identify pathogens.
Pipettes and micropipettes: Used to collect precise liquid samples.
Spectrophotometer: Analyzes the chemical composition of water and biological samples.

In aquaculture, it is also necessary to have suitable equipment for species reproduction and breeding.

Egg incubators: Promote the development of fish embryos.
Breeding tanks and aquariums: Used to maintain and observe aquatic organisms.
Counting devices (volumetric or electronic counting): Allow the quantification of larvae and juvenile fish.
utomatic feeders: Distribute food in a controlled manner.

Experimentation and handling of organisms require appropriate protective and handling equipment.

Gloves, goggles, and laboratory coats: Protect against chemicals and microorganisms.
Nets and anesthesia syringes: Facilitate fish handling without causing injury.
Precision balances: Used to weigh food, chemicals, or aquatic organisms.

All this laboratory equipment has been referenced for many years by AQUACULTURE France.
