Incubators

Incubators for aquaculture

  1. Vertical Flow Incubators (or Zoug Incubators)
    These cylindrical incubators allow constant water flow from bottom to top, keeping the eggs suspended.
    Advantages:

  • Very good oxygenation of the eggs

  • Easy removal of waste and dead eggs

  • Space-saving
    Use: Ideal for salmonids (trout, salmon), widely used in intensive aquaculture.

  1. Static Basket Incubators
    Eggs are placed in perforated baskets or trays, stacked in a water tank with controlled flow.
    Advantages:

  • Easy to handle

  • Easy visual monitoring of eggs

  • Suitable for small-scale setups
    Use: Common for freshwater species like tilapia or catfish.

  1. Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS)
    Water is filtered and reused in a closed-loop system, while maintaining optimal conditions (temperature, oxygen, pH).
    Advantages:

  • Significant water savings

  • Very precise control of parameters

  • Less pollution
    Use: Suitable for all farming phases, especially in modern and sustainable facilities.

  1. Traditional Methods
    Use of jars, simple tanks, or local materials for incubation, with manual monitoring of parameters.
    Advantages:

  • Low cost

  • Accessible in rural areas or pilot projects
    Disadvantages:

  • Less control over oxygenation and pathogens
    Use: Common in small farms or in developing countries
