The Importance of Dissolved Oxygen in Tilapia Farming

Tilapia farming often faces challenges in maintaining stable DO (Dissolved Oxygen) levels, especially due to high stocking density, organic waste buildup, and extreme weather fluctuations. These challenges can lead to drastic drops in DO levels, which can be fatal for the fish.

Dissolved Oxygen (DO) is a vital factor in tilapia farming. Without sufficient oxygen levels, fish will experience stress, stunted growth, and higher susceptibility to disease. In ponds with high stocking density, oxygen demand increases significantly, particularly at night when plankton photosynthesis ceases and natural oxygen levels decline.

Optimizing Oxygen in Tilapia Farming

Optimizing Dissolved Oxygen (DO) levels is the key to successful tilapia farming. The ideal DO level, above 5 mg/L, is crucial to maintain fish health, promote faster growth, and prevent stress and disease. Without sufficient DO, tilapia will grow slowly and become vulnerable to mass mortality.

To overcome these challenges, modern technology such as microbubble aeration offers an effective solution. This technology produces micron-sized air bubbles with much higher oxygen dissolution efficiency compared to conventional aerators.

Microbubble technology has emerged as an effective breakthrough to address oxygen challenges in tilapia farming. Microbubbles are extremely small air bubbles (micron-sized) that dissolve more efficiently in water. Because of their size, microbubbles:

• Remain dissolved longer in the water, ensuring stable DO levels.
• Reach the bottom of the pond, providing oxygen to fish across all water layers.

• Help improve water quality by reducing ammonia and accelerating organic matter degradation.

   

With microbubbles, oxygen distribution becomes more even, keeping tilapia active in feeding, supporting optimal metabolism, and accelerating growth.
